Oh, easy fix just put duplicate the remote event called “UnlockEvent” and put it in replicated storage

I hate to do this but 1 final revision of code for the DataStore script in ServerScriptService here:

local DataModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.DataStoreModule)
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local PlayerDataStore = DSS:GetDataStore("PlayerData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local Success, Data = pcall(function()
		return PlayerDataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
	end)
	warn("Success:", Success)
	warn("Data:", Data)
	if Success and Data then
		DataModule.SetPlayerData(Player.Name, Data)
	elseif Success and not Data then
		warn("Unable to get "..Player.Name.."'s data, they are a new player!")
		DataModule.SetPlayerDataDefault(Player.Name)
	elseif not Success and not Data then
		Player:Kick("Error while connecting to roblox datastore, please rejoin or try again later.")
		error("Unable to get "..Player.Name.."'s data, unable to connect to datastores.")
	end
	
	for i, v in pairs(Data) do
		if workspace:FindFirstChild("ItemNeeded"):FindFirstChild(i) ~= nil then
			if v == true then
				Player.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("UnlockEvent"):FireClient(Player, workspace:FindFirstChild("ItemNeeded"):FindFirstChild(i))
			end
		end
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
	local PlayerData = DataModule.RequestPlayerData(Player.Name)
	
	if PlayerData ~= nil then
		warn("Saving "..Player.Name.."'s Player data as", PlayerData)
		local Success, ErrorCode = pcall(function()
			PlayerDataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId, PlayerData)
		end)
		if not Success then
			warn(ErrorCode)
		else
			local Success, Data = pcall(function()
				PlayerDataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
			end)
			warn(Data)
		end
	end
end)

Thank you so so much for this help, I do have a question. I placed a plank and rejoin and it did not save. Is there a specific time to wait inbetween for it to save? I did only test it in studio, does it only work in game?

#45

If you publish the game, ill test it out and give it a go, also if it prints the data when someone joins please can I see it?

#46

Make sure API is enabled in security.

#47

Alright, I just published the game.

replace that with the old pairs thing

local DataModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.DataStoreModule)

		return PlayerDataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
	end)
	warn("Success:", Success)

I figured a way to do, thank you so much for the help and everything!

#56

Oh I’m glad I could help, did you use my datastore system or something else? I just tested the game and it works, nice!
