How to save a local value in a data store

[adoptmebaddyEgirl (ADODev)]

it jumps to 0 and then does -5,

[normanthewarding]

ok before I address that, what is the function of the script? to reduce the energy slowly?

[adoptmebaddyEgirl (ADODev)]

sorry if i misunderstood but i think you mean this

@adoptmebaddyEgirl

local function EnergyRemoval()

[normanthewarding]

yes i did i didnt see that my bad

You can simply just use remote events.

[adoptmebaddyEgirl (ADODev)]

i have, its just not sending any data from the client to the server

[2unkens (Sunken)]

Can you send the arguments which you are supplying to the remote?

@adoptmebaddyEgirl

local DatasToClient = game.ReplicatedStorage.DatasToClientRM

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

DatasToClient.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(EnergyValue)

local function EnergyRemoval()


	while (not player.PlayerNeeds.Energy.Value <= 0) do
		
		local randomwait = math.random(60,100)
		wait(1) 
			

			script.Parent.Parent.EnergyBar.Size = UDim2.new(player.PlayerNeeds.Energy.Value/ 22 ,0 , 0.693, 0,0)
		
			player.PlayerNeeds.Energy.Value -= 5
	end
	while (not player.PlayerNeeds.Energy.Value > 0) do
	
			wait(0.0001)

	end	

	EnergyRemoval()
	
end)

try swapping out the repeat for whiles?

[adoptmebaddyEgirl (ADODev)]

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
	
	game.ReplicatedStorage.DatasToServerRM:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerNeeds.Energy.Value)
	
end)

and the server recieving

game.ReplicatedStorage.DatasToServerRM.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, EnergyVal)

	local Success, ErrorMessage = pcall(function()

		PlayerNeedsDataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, EnergyVal)

	end)
	
	if Success then
		
		print("PlayerNeeds have been successfully saved")
		
	else
		
		warn(ErrorMessage)
		
		print("there was an error while saving data")
		
	end

	
end)

[normanthewarding]

is there another script that is manipulating the value of energyvalue?

[2unkens (Sunken)]

Yeah no point in firing a remote when the player is leaving lol, hence the args are nil

[normanthewarding]

this part of the script is working right?
