It does save in-game but sometimes it rejects, which results in non-saving data
Datastore2 seems not maintained anymore, i’m currently too busy to switch to ProfileService
Does anyone know a fix for this error? (DataStore2 > SavingMethods > OrderedBackups)
Edited the Standard saving method to retry whenever 403 (Forbidden) occurs
self.dataStore:UpdateAsync(self.userId, function()
return value
end)
Updated Code
Make sure to use the latest Promise release if you use this edit
-- Standard saving of data stores
-- The key you provide to DataStore2 is the name of the store with GetDataStore
-- GetAsync/UpdateAsync are then called based on the user ID
local DataStoreServiceRetriever = require(script.Parent.Parent.DataStoreServiceRetriever)
local Promise = require(script.Parent.Parent.Promise)
local Standard = {}
Standard.__index = Standard
function Standard:Get()
return Promise.async(function(resolve)
resolve(self.dataStore:GetAsync(self.userId))
end)
end
local function updateAsyncRequest(self, value)
return Promise.new(function(resolve, reject)
local success, result = pcall(function()
self.dataStore:UpdateAsync(self.userId, function()
return value
end)
end)
if (success) then return resolve(result) end
reject(false)
end)
end
function Standard:Set(value)
return Promise.retryWithDelay(updateAsyncRequest, 5, 1, self, value)
end
function Standard.new(dataStore2)
return setmetatable({
dataStore = DataStoreServiceRetriever.Get():GetDataStore(dataStore2.Name),
userId = dataStore2.UserId,
}, Standard)
end
return Standard
i have but i dont use it because i dont understand it even after watching tutorials plus i’d rather make it myself so if i want to add anything i can know where to start
I wouldn’t recommend it. Just use the DataStore from Roblox. What I do is I create a module script where, if a player joins, their data will be stored in a table. If they don’t have existing data, new data will be created. I store everything in this table, and when the player leaves, it gets saved.
Thank you so much for creating this, I’m gonna use it for my little game named normal day.
I hope there won’t be any data losess like they happened (4 times they happened and they were pretty big)
if anyone interested what the data losses was so here u go: first and second data loss was the serial keys they were lost 2 times (idk why to this day) the third data loss was the players money and the fourth data loss was companies budget (basically 170k money reset thats alot tho i backed it up to somewhat around this value)
These two already explain by DataStore2 should not really be used anymore. You should either use the default Roblox Datastores with their new API and all that stuff or you can use ProfileService which I have given a link to a great video explaining how to use it above.
Edit: Roblox Datastores do provide versioning! (ProfileService does too)
is there a Community Ressource for DataStore 2 on Discord or on any other Social Media? If so can you send me the link so I can discuss with someone because I have a lot of question for that
whenever
