Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Im making a sort of customization system and as you can see on the video, i made the first option where u customize the number on your back (sort of like football players shirts with the number and the name on the back).

The problem is, i dont know how to save the TextLabel’s Text (which is the number) when the player is leaving the game and then put the text saved when the player rejoins.

Here where is situated the SurfaceGui which inside there is the TextLabel:
Roblox Studio 12_05_2023 18_21_03

I tried looking on youtube, here and even on the creator documentation for more info, but unfortunately i didnt find anything that could help me.

i tried do it on my own and i came up doing this:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("TextLabelData")

local function saveTextLabel(player)
	local character = player.Character

	local surfaceGui = character.Torso:FindFirstChild("NameAndNumberBack")

	local textLabel = surfaceGui:FindFirstChild("Number")

	local success, err = pcall(function()
		DataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId .. "_TextLabelValue", textLabel.Text)
	end)

	if not success then
		warn("Error saving data:", err)
	end
end

local function loadTextLabel(player)
	local character = player.Character

	local surfaceGui = character.Torso:FindFirstChild("NameAndNumberBack")

	local textLabel = surfaceGui:FindFirstChild("Number")

	local success, savedValue = pcall(function()
		return DataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId .. "_TextLabelValue")
	end)

	if success and savedValue then
		textLabel.Text = savedValue
	end

	player.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function()
		saveTextLabel(player)
	end)
end

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	loadTextLabel(player)
end)

game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	saveTextLabel(player)
end)

Even tho, this script i made doesnt work and it doesnt give any errors in the output.
So how can i save the TextLabel’s Text?

Are you changing the number on the server? If not then it will save an empty string. Also if you are making a customization system its best to put all the changes in a table and save a table like this:

local customtable = {
    backnumber = textLabel.Text,
    anothercustomization = true
}

DataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, customtable)

Also since its a number on back you could convert it to a number with tonumber() and save that instead of a string.

local customtable = {
    backnumber = tonumber(textLabel.Text)
}
