My DataStore doesn't work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

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

well it works as the same as @EHGTR1903

#23

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

#24

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

#26

My example code saves the data as well

#27

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

#28

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

#29

no everytime i join the value will be 50
