No, but you could mix :AfterSave with an ordered data store to keep an up to date ordered data store.

I have this code (basically identical to yours) however it just ignores the for loop for some reason.
function admin.Clear(player, userId, name) -- GDPR compliance (Code by Kampfkarren)
if admin.CheckAdmin(player) then
print("Starting to delete data")
local orderedDataStore = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore(name .. "/" .. userId)
local dataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore(name .. "/" .. userId)
while true do
local pages = orderedDataStore:GetSortedAsync(false, 100)
local data = pages:GetCurrentPage()
print("Here")
for _, pair in pairs(data) do
print("Loop")
print(("key: %d"):format(pair.key))
dataStore:RemoveAsync(pair.key)
orderedDataStore:RemoveAsync(pair.key)
end
print("end")
if pages.IsFinished then
print(("finished (%d: %s)"):format(userId, name))
return
end
end
else
warn(player.Name.."tried to use admin commands")
dataSaver.UpdateBehavoir(player, 20000000000000000) -- A non-admin tried to use admin commands, give perm ban
end
end
This is my output:
And if I wanted to go about accessing a specific thing, say behavior points of an offline user how would I do this?
All in all DataStore2 is very nice to use, keep up the good work!

Do you use combined data stores? What’s the name you’re giving it?

Yes, this is how I am doing it
dataStore2.Combine("DATA", "BehavoirPoints", etc.)

And what name are you using? In your case, you should be clearing DATA.

Do you mean like this?
local orderedDataStore = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("DATA" .. "/" .. userId)
local dataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DATA" .. "/" .. userId)

Yes, or just do admin.Clear(player, userId, "DATA")

It loops through however the data is not reset to the default when I rejoin? This is also the case when you reset an offline players data.
For some reason it is only looping 2 times and there are 6 items in the combined store
dataStore2.Combine("DATA", "Gold", "Emerald", "BehavoirPoints", "LastLoginTime", "PlayedBefore", "LandDeedShopOpen")
I wouldn’t know–I’ve only ever used that in the command line. It’s possible DataStore2 is saving your data when you leave, overriding your deletion.

So after some tinkering, I think it has.something to do with :GetOrderedDataStore only liking numbers, and I had some book values. By making 2 combined stores, one for floats and ints and the other for other data types, it fixed the problem of not lopping correctly. As for the saving problem, that was completely my fault, I had made a typo on importing data from the data store this was importing the wrong data.

Hello! I love this datastore system, its so useful especially for mountains of data. I’m having a problem with a particular store… I have 5 seperate stores, four of which work perfectly and i’m very pleased… especailly because a few of them are carrying very full dictionaries. The one store i have however, the one where i save all of the players data regarding the character, is not working, i don’t think i’m doing anything differently from any of the other stores, but… it creates the data i need(I have checked this with print) and i try to save it into the store, and afterwords i check in the set store and it has the new value in it… so it should save, and then I leave and come back and all the data has reset. 
. I am using a key from an int value in the place where i keep all the datastore scripts so that i can easily reset all the stores if need be. I have tried changing the name of the store to see maybe if that store was corrupted of some sorts, there are no errors in the code from the server or client output, all the new fresh data arrives where i need it too as values in the player in their own folder. I’ve been scratching my head at this.
This is a copy of the code for the store itself(This isn’t very different from the other stores that are actually working and saving):
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local DataStore2 = require(1936396537)
local key = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Key").Value
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local CharInfoStore = DataStore2("CharInfoStore"..key, Player)
local CharacterStats = Instance.new("Folder")
CharacterStats.Name = "CharacterStats"
CharacterStats.Parent = Player
CharInfoStore:GetTable({
["CharName"] = "";
["CharDesc"] = "";
["Aires"] = 30;
["CurrentLand"] = "Bouldaron";
["Gender"] = "Male";
["Skin Tone"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 204, 153);
["Face"] = "Male 1";
["Upper"] = "Violet Velvet Robes";
["Lower"] = "Peasent Pants";
["Hair"] = "None";
['Head Wear'] = "None";
["Back"] = "None";
["BodyTypeScale"] = .03;
["DepthScale"] = .8;
["HeadScale"] = 1;
["HeightScale"] = 1;
["WidthScale"] = .8;
})
local CharInfoStoreGotten= CharInfoStore:Get()
for statname, statvalue in pairs(CharInfoStoreGotten) do
if type(statvalue) == 'number' then
local intvalue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
intvalue.Name = statname
intvalue.Value = statvalue
intvalue.Parent = CharacterStats
elseif type(statvalue) == 'boolean' then
local boolvalue = Instance.new("BoolValue")
boolvalue.Name = statname
boolvalue.Value = statvalue
boolvalue.Parent = CharacterStats
elseif type(statvalue) == 'string' then
local stringvalue = Instance.new("StringValue")
stringvalue.Name = statname
stringvalue.Value = statvalue
stringvalue.Parent = CharacterStats
elseif type(statvalue) == 'userdata' then
local stringvalue = Instance.new("Color3Value")
stringvalue.Name = statname
stringvalue.Value = statvalue
stringvalue.Parent = CharacterStats
end
end
for i,v in pairs(CharInfoStoreGotten) do
print(i,"=", CharInfoStoreGotten[i], " In the Character Stats Store")
CharacterStats:FindFirstChild(i).Value = CharInfoStoreGotten[i]
end
end)
I print whats coming out of the store so that i can easily see if the data did that stupid thing( i should preface this same store was working before, all of the blank stores were saving if they were blank and everything.
This is an example of some code thats trying to save the store:
function Character_Appearance_Service:Character_Scaling(player,ScaleType,ScaleVal)
local CharStore = DataStore2("CharInfoStore"..key, player)
local CharStoreGotten = CharStore:Get()
local CharStats = player:WaitForChild("CharacterStats")
local ScaleTypeVal = CharStats:WaitForChild(ScaleType)
local Character = player.Character
local hum = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local humDesc = hum:GetAppliedDescription()
if ScaleType == "WidthScale" then
ScaleTypeVal = ScaleVal
CharStats:WaitForChild("DepthScale").Value = ScaleVal
humDesc[ScaleType] = ScaleVal
humDesc["DepthScale"] = ScaleVal
hum:ApplyDescription(humDesc)
print(ScaleType, "Is now being svaed in store as =", ScaleVal)
CharStoreGotten[ScaleType] = ScaleVal
CharStoreGotten["DepthScale"] = ScaleVal
CharStore:Set(CharStoreGotten)
else
ScaleTypeVal = ScaleVal
humDesc[ScaleType] = ScaleVal
hum:ApplyDescription(humDesc)
print(ScaleType, "Is now being svaed in store as =", ScaleVal)
CharStoreGotten[ScaleType] = ScaleVal
CharStore:Set(CharStoreGotten)
end
end
function Character_Appearance_Service:Apply_From_Customize(player,Item_Name,Catagory)
local Character = player.Character
local CharStore = DataStore2("CharInfoStore"..key, player)
local CharStoreGotten = CharStore:Get()
local CharStats = player:WaitForChild("CharacterStats")
local CatName = CharStats:WaitForChild(Catagory)
print(Catagory, "Is saving the thing in the thing with the thing", Item_Name, CharStoreGotten[Catagory])
CatName.Value = Item_Name
CharStoreGotten[Catagory] = Item_Name
print("Is now:", CharStoreGotten[Catagory])
CharStore:Set(CharStoreGotten)
Character_Appearance_Service:Character_Apparel_Equip(Character,true)
end
I’d really appreciate your thoughts @Kampfkarren(You’ve always been very helpful) or anyone else who may have any ideas. Thx!

I’m not exactly sure what your problem is and this is a LOT of code that I don’t have the time to read and dissect.

I understand that. My problem is that the code won’t save for some reason, it says that it is in the store after i set the code in the store(And i’m not doing anything differently from any of the other stores and how i save them). I’m just not sure what could be wrong.

During the little Roblox outage in the afternoon, I was trying to access a testing place of mine, which had DataStore2 for saving coin data. While it did increase and act normally in a session, when I rejoined, the coin data was set back to its value from the beginning of last session, rather than pick off from when I left. Is there any way for this to be prevented?
Code:
local startValue = 0
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local CoinStore = DataStore2("Coins", plr)
CoinStore:SetBackup(10, 0)
local Coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
Coins.Name = plr.Name
Coins.Parent = workspace.CoinData
CoinStore:Get(0)
local function updateCoins(newValue)
Coins.Value = CoinStore:Get(newValue)
end
updateCoins(startValue)
CoinStore:OnUpdate(updateCoins)
CoinStore:AfterSave(updateCoins)
end)

Because…
How do you expect DataStore2 to save the data if Roblox is down?
3 Likes
True. However, the issue is now, when I’m entering the test place, even though Roblox is functioning now, the coin data starts from what it was last session.
Coin Data from beginning of Session 1: 3125
Spends 500 coins in-game, shows it at 2625.
Rejoins, coin data back up to 3125.

It doesn’t look like you ever call :Set in your code, so that’d be something to look at.
After much hassle and research @Kampfkarren I have figured out my issue… It wont save the color3 value. After all of that, i finally found the issue. Now, can you just not save a color3? how would you do that?
I mean i understand its just the value of the color 3, but even then it would be a vector 3 value, or a userinput value

You can’t. The easiest way is to just use a table of RGB values.
Oh ok… and so when i load it into a value do it as in do it as in
(I have to figure out what type a table of like that would be)
elseif type(statvalue) == ‘userdata’ then
local stringvalue = Instance.new(“Color3Value”)
stringvalue.Name = statname
stringvalue.Value = Color3.new(statvalue[1],statvalue[2],statvalue[3])
stringvalue.Parent = CharacterStats
end
