Hello! I need to make an Inventory Data Store for my game. It prints that the data is saved but when I join all the values are 0. How can I fix it?

local playerService = game:GetService("Players")
local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local InventoryDataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("InventoryDataStore")

local playerData = require(game.ServerStorage.PlayerData)

local DataHandler = {}

local function getData(player)
	local Inventory = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	Inventory.Name = "Inventory"
	
	for i, plant in ipairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.Plants:GetChildren()) do
		local int = Instance.new("IntValue", Inventory)
		int.Name = plant.Name
	end
	
	local playerUserId = player.UserId
	
	local data
	local success = pcall(function()
		data = InventoryDataStore:GetAsync(playerUserId)
	end)
	
	if success then
		if data then
			for i, v in ipairs(Inventory:GetChildren()) do
				v.Value = data[v]
			end
		else
			warn("Error whilst getting data")
		end
	end
	
	return success
end

local function saveData(player)
	local playerUserId = player.UserId
	
	for i, plant in ipairs(player.Inventory:GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(playerData, i, plant.Value)
	end
	
	print(playerData)
	
	local success = pcall(function()
		InventoryDataStore:SetAsync(playerUserId, playerData)
	end)
	
	return success
end

playerService.PlayerAdded:Connect(getData)
playerService.PlayerRemoving:Connect(saveData)

return DataHandler

You forgot to set the values.
And you’re not saving the plant Name

for i, plant in ipairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.Plants:GetChildren()) do
	local int = Instance.new("IntValue", Inventory)
	int.Name = plant.Name --< You forgot to set the value of plant
end

for i, plant in ipairs(player.Inventory:GetChildren()) do
	table.insert(playerData, i, plant.Value) --< You forgot to save the plant.Name
end

Thank you for replying! How can I save the plant name?

#4

Just add it to table

for i, plant in ipairs(player.Inventory:GetChildren()) do
	table.insert(playerData, i, plant.Value, plant.Name)
end

Now I get this error:

wrong number of arguments to 'insert'

#6

Oh my bad sorry, sometimes i am dumb.
You need to add a table in a table

for i, plant in ipairs(player.Inventory:GetChildren()) do
	table.insert(playerData, i,{Value = plant.Value; Name = plant.Name})
end
#7

Hmm… It still says that the value is 0.:neutral_face:

#8

Have you set the values of plant?

if success then
		if data then
			for i, v in ipairs(Inventory:GetChildren()) do
				v.Value = data[v]
			end
		else
			warn("Error whilst getting data")
		end
	end
#10

Try it

if success then
		if data then
			for i, v in pairs(data) do
               Inventory:GetChildren()[data[i].Name].Value = data[i].Value
			end
		else
			warn("Error whilst getting data")
		end
	end

bruh it still says that its 0 and this time it errors:

attempt to index nil with 'Value'

#13

… I removed :GetChildren()

if success then
		if data then
			for i, v in pairs(data) do
               Inventory[data[i].Name].Value = data[i].Value
			end
		else
			warn("Error whilst getting data")
		end
	end
