How to make a Strong DataStore

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#23 
local data

local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
	data = DataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId)
end)

This code is making the error, its pretty self explanitory. Also you are using pcall’s without handling the outcome you should read the article i gave you fully and dont rush and paste writing code like you did here it creates really silly errors

#24

Isn’t that correct? I looked at the article and it makes sense.

#25

yes, its correct but you are doing nothing with the result you can do like if not success then handle the error

edit: what i would do here is use discord webhooks to alert me the issue with the data so i can recover their data manually if required.

#26

That is incorrect, you should be using DataStore:GetAsync() for getting data.

Also, Discord webhooks are not for logging.

Thats the code from the OP, not me. I just gave the code and said “this code is making the error, its pretty self explanitory.” you should read my full post before saying its incorrect

#28

Okay I am confused. So the data is not loading that is why it is not working?

#29

@takticiadam You said it was correct here:

@InquistorWasBanned It is not working because the data is not loading.

#30

Oh okay, so how do I load the data?

#31

I think you didnt understand what I meant there, first of all why would you except me to say its incorrect then say its correct out of nowhere, what I meant there is OP is using pcall’s without handling the outcome.

#32

Well change it to :GetAsync, thats it.

#33

Okay let me try it right now. Do you have discord?

#34

no, I do not have discord thing

#35

Yes it works. But I am afraid the saving might still lose a lot of information. How can I minimize that?

#36

If you still lose information, its probably roblox’s fault as i said. You can do nothing about that just blame them if you want to. If you really want to minimize it just use profileservice.

#37

Okay Thanks I will try using ProfileService.

#38

You could minimize data loss by having a retry function if the pcall failed.

#39

How would I do that and where?

#40

There is an example in the post I linked earlier under the DataStore errors - retrying section.

#41

So the more pcalls I add the more strong it will be?

#42

No, that is not what I meant. The example keeps calling the call until it returns success.
