How would I save a Number Value to a data store?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, I’ve been trying to figure out on how to save numbervalues to a data store. And I made a script but it’s not working, there are no errors in the output, and I have API service activated.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local DataStoreName = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local levels = Instance.new("Folder")
	levels.Name = "Levels"
	levels.Parent = player
	
	local Level1 = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	Level1.Name = "Level1"
	Level1.Parent = levels

	local data
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		data = DataStoreName:GetAsync(player.UserId.. "-Levels")
		Level1.Value = data
	end)

	if success then
		print("Data Loaded")
	else
		print("Error")
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		DataStoreName:UpdateAsync(player.UserId.."-Levels",function(old)
			local newvalue1 = old
			newvalue1 = player.Levels.Level1.Value
			return newvalue1
		end)
	end)

	if success then
		print("Data has been saved")
	else
		print("Error")
	end
end)

Do I put this in a module script or a server script?

You put this in a server script not a module script

So I scripted the entire script and there is a red line under the comma on the last line of the code.

You did not end the line of code with a parentheses.

#7

Where am I suppose to put the parentheses?

#8

You have to put the parentheses after the player.Levels.Level1.Value because you are passing arguments to the function I presume. Tell me if it is still underlined.

#9

Yeah, it’s still underlined in red.

#10

Ok I might be guessing but add another parentheses after the “Levels” with the parentheses at the end.

#11

Oops I added an extra ‘)’ by accident
try this:

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	SafeSave(LevelsDataStore, tostring(player.UserId).."-Levels", player.Levels.Level1.Value)
end)

Lol what was I thinking about! Well Dogcraft looks like you have your answer!

#13

Surprisingly, the script did not work and the numbervalue didn’t save. There were no errors and API service was on.

#14

What did you use to modify your numbervalue, you might have modified it on the client only, causing it to not save

edit:

I just copy and pasted the script into a place and it works fine

#15

Why is it working for you but not me? Cause I just went into a different place, copied and pasted the code, made a server script, and turned on API service, and it doesn’t save when I change the value.

#16

Are you changing it on the server or the client

this guy had just changed it on the client:

make sure you change the value on the server and check for errors

#17

I made it on the server side, and there were no errors. So I don’t know about whats going on.

#18

Invite me to studio and I will see, cause if it works for me there is something wrong with your place or your setup

#19

I need to add you on Roblox because Roblox only allows people on your friend list to be in studio together.

#20

You were changing it from the client, post is solved?
