Doesn’t work (30 charrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

How to use DataStore2 - Data Store caching and data loss prevention

DataStore2 Documentation | News | Source DataStore2 is an open source module that uses berezaa’s method of saving data that prevents data loss, caches, and verifies data before saving. DataStore2 has been used in my game visited by 120 million players with a constant concurrent player count of around 3,000 - 8,000 players, one time reaching 12,000 concurrent players. @AlreadyPro’s latest game Fairy World has 3 million visits and a consistent concurrent player count above 1,000, and a peak of 5…

that’s just to see if the loading works.

@biicciioo Try this (make sure it’s a ServerScript inside of ServerScriptService):

local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStore")
local defaultCash = 50 -- change amount to your liking

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
    cash.Name = "Cash"
    cash.Parent = leaderstats

    local data
    local success, message = pcall(function()
        data = dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-cash")
    end
    if success then
        if data then
            cash.Value = data
        else
            print(plr.Name.." is a new player")
            cash.Value = defaultCash
        end
    else
        warn(message)
    end
end

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    local data = plr.leaderstats.Cash.Value
    local success, message = pcall(function()
        dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."-cash", data)
    end
    if success then
        print("data for "..plr.Name.." saved")
    else
        warn(message)
    end
end

Try this and get the DataStore2 Module and put it in ServerScriptService
@biicciioo

local DataStore2 = require(ServerScriptService.DataStore2)
DataStore2.Combine("DATA", "cash")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
   local cashStore = DataStore2("cash", player)

   local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
   leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
   leaderstats.Parent = player

   local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
   Cash.Name = "Cash"
   Cash.Value = 50 or nil;
   Cash.Parent = leaderstats

  cashStore:OnUpdate(function(newCash)
      Cash.Value = newCash
  end
end

Are you Testing it in Studio?
If so go to game Settings → security → and enable Studio Acces To API
and make sure your game is published.

[biicciioo]

it worked (30 charrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

[biicciioo]

i knew this 30 charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[biicciioo]

if i do this the leaderstats won’t work

[P1X3L_K1NG]

Oops, I forgot to parent the leaderstats in that example code. insert it in between here:

leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = plr -- insert it in between these other lines of code
local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")

Here is the fixed code:

local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStore")
local defaultCash = 50 -- change amount to your liking

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = plr
    local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
    cash.Name = "Cash"
    cash.Parent = leaderstats

    local data
    local success, message = pcall(function()
        data = dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-cash")
    end
    if success then
        if data then
            cash.Value = data
        else
            print(plr.Name.." is a new player")
            cash.Value = defaultCash
        end
    else
        warn(message)
    end
end

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    local data = plr.leaderstats.Cash.Value
    local success, message = pcall(function()
        dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."-cash", data)
    end
    if success then
        print("data for "..plr.Name.." saved")
    else
        warn(message)
    end
end

[biicciioo]

well it works as the same as @EHGTR1903

[P1X3L_K1NG]

@EHGTR1903

if success then
    print(data)
    cash.Value = DefaulthCash
    print("Cash Has Been Loaded!")
else
    
    print("player has no data")
    warn(errormessage) 
end

This part of the script is flawed, you’ll want to use my example code because it will work better.

[biicciioo]

Ok but now we have to save it (30 charrrrr)

[P1X3L_K1NG]

My example code saves the data as well

@P1X3L_K1NG

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    local data = plr.leaderstats.Cash.Value
    local success, message = pcall(function()
        dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."-cash", data)
    end
    if success then
        print("data for "..plr.Name.." saved")
    else
        warn(message)
    end
end

[LeMustache1]

That part is just to check if it’s loading the datastore or not. I already said that here

@EHGTR1903

that’s just to see if the loading works.

[biicciioo]

yeah it’s for this i said but now we need to save
