Need Help Fixing My Plot Save System

Ok, so I made a code and I get a error saying it can’t save the data here is my code:

local DSS = game:GetService(‘DataStoreService’)
local DS = DSS:GetDataStore(‘PlayerData’)
Players = game:GetService(“Players”)

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)
local Plot = Players.LocalPlayer.Plot
local success, err = pcall(function()
local data = DS:GetAsync(Plr.UserId)
end)
if success then Plot.Value = data[1]
else print(“No data…”)
end
end)

local function Save(Plr)
local DataToSave = { Plr.Plot.Value; }
local success, err = pcall(function()
DS:SetAsync(Plr.UserId, DataToSave)
end)
if not success then
warn(‘Could not save the data’)
end
end

game:BindToClose(function()
for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local success, err = pcall(function()
Save(Player)
end)
if success then
print(“Data has been saved”)
else
print(“Data has not been saved!”)
end
end
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.SetPlot.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Plot, P)
P.Plot.Value = Plot
Plot.Owner.Value = P
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(Save)

Have you tried removing ";" from {Plr.Plot.Value}?

#3

what kind of value is Players.LocalPlayer.Plot?

#4

I have tried still did not work

#5

Object Value Inside the player

#6

the semi colon will not affect the compilation of the code as it can be used as a seperator of values in a table, it also wont have an effect if placed at the end of an expression i.e declaring a variable [ abc = 2; ]

Data stores dont support storing instances

#8

So how can I make it when someone builds it will load the plots data to the one they select when they load back up

#9

You can do it multiple ways. One way you can do it is you can loop through the plot and save each part / models name and position, and then in server storage or replicated storage when you want to load the plot you can pull the models / parts from it and set their position

#10

Is there a forum I can see an example of this so i think my theory of this would be right.

#11

I’m not exactly sure, but you can probably look for a retail tycoon uncopylocked game and look at the datastore code

#12

Instances can be saved inside datastores through a process called serialization basically you have to convert every property and value of the instance(and its children) into an array, and save the array or the string(using HttpService:JSONEncode(array)) to the datastore.

To deserialize the data you have to reverse the algorithm serializing it.
