This is my second post today but i am making a game and a inventory system.I just decided to use datastores because its just gonna store int values…

But it doesnt work and i dont really know why it doesnt…

By The Way this is the whole script :

local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local datastore  = dss:GetDataStore("theDiceWip")
local invstore  = dss:GetDataStore("inventory")

local function ds(plr)
	--save data
	local savetable = {
		plr.leaderstats.Stars.Value;
		plr.leaderstats.Rolls.Value
	}
	
	local success,errorMessage = pcall(datastore.SetAsync,datastore,plr.UserId,savetable)
	
	if success then
		print("Data of player "..plr.UserId.." has been saved.")
	else
		print("Failed to save the data of the player"..plr.UserId..".")
	end
end

local function ds2(plr)
	local invtable = {
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui:WaitForChild("common").Value;
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui:WaitForChild("rare").Value;
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui:WaitForChild("legendary").Value;
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui:WaitForChild("superior").Value;
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui:WaitForChild("craziest").Value;
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui:WaitForChild("maniack").Value;
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui:WaitForChild("qmqmqm").Value
	}
	
	local success,errorMessage = pcall(datastore.SetAsync,invstore,plr.UserId,invtable)
	
	if success then
		print("Inventory of player "..plr.UserId.." has been saved.")
	else
		print("Failed to save the inventory of the player"..plr.UserId..".")
	end
end

--get leaderboard and datastore
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder" ,plr)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local stars = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
	stars.Name = "Stars"
	
	local rolls = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
	rolls.Name = "Rolls"
	
	local data = nil
	
	local invdata = nil
	
	local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		data = datastore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
	end)
	
	local success2, errorMessage2 = pcall(function()
		invdata = invstore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
	end)
	
	if success and data then
		stars.Value = data[1]
		rolls.Value = data[2]
	else
		print("The player ".. plr.UserId.. " has no data.")
		warn(errorMessage)
	end
	
	if success2 and invdata then
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui.common.Value = invdata[1]
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui.rare.Value = invdata[2]
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui.legendary.Value = invdata[3]
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui.superior.Value = invdata[4]
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui.craziest.Value = invdata[5]
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui.maniack.Value = invdata[6]
		plr.PlayerGui.invgui.qmqmqm.Value = invdata[7]
	else
		print("The player "..plr.UserId.." has no inventory data.")
		warn(errorMessage2)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	ds(plr)
	ds2(plr)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	for _, plr in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		task.spawn(ds,plr)
		task.spawn(ds2,plr)
	end 
end)

Here is the client sided output :

And this is the server output :

no errors at all.

do not consider the “FreeSuperior …”
its not relevant to this script.

PS - The Rolls And Stars do work… only the inventory does not work

#6

Remove the WaitForChild when saving. They aren’t necessary since you won’t be saving before they’ve loaded

#7

When i was creating this script at first it was actually not “WaitForChild” and it still didnt work

What are the values in

I don’t see any other problems

#9

they are all just defaulted to zero.nothing else

#10

Print the invtable before it’s saved and check the output

#11

it gives me this table

{
[1] = 0,
[2] = 0,
[3] = 0,
[4] = 0,
[5] = 0,
[6] = 0,
[7] = 0
}
#12

What does this return???

#13

if it saves data successfully it will return the one in top or “Inventory of player UserID has been saved”

If it failed it says “Failed to save the inventory of the player UserID.”

if you meant something different tell me because i just understand it this way…

im kinda new to datastores and luau…like a few months or smth

btw you can use the empty character “” it doesnt get detected and can provide enough length…

I’m having issues with my game related to datastores as well. Players data is being wiped upon leaving the game. I believe the datastoreservice is having some issues…?
