Hello! I dont have much coding experience, and i am making an obby. I am trying to make a “clear progress” button, and i need help with this. Here is what i have so far for removing the async. It doesnt work and i dont know why. I know it might see dumb to all the programmers out there, but reminder, i have barely any experience with lua.
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Stage")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local stageKey = player.UserId.."-Stage"
local success, error = pcall(function()
dataStore:RemoveAsync(stageKey)
end)
if not success then
warn("Failed to wipe data: " .. error)
end
end)
Your script is almost correct, but there are a couple of issues:
Accessing the Player: The MouseButton1Click event is on a GUI button, so the player argument won’t automatically be passed. You need to correctly reference the player interacting with the button.
Here’s a fixed and improved version of your script:
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Stage")
-- Reference the LocalPlayer through the Player GUI
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
-- Ensure the player and their leaderstats exist
if player and player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
local stageKey = player.UserId.."-Stage"
-- Try to remove the player's data from the DataStore
local success, error = pcall(function()
dataStore:RemoveAsync(stageKey)
end)
if success then
-- Reset the stage value in leaderstats
player.leaderstats.Stage.Value = 0
else
warn("Failed to wipe data: " .. error)
end
else
warn("Player or leaderstats not found.")
end
end)
Well, let me tell you one thing: you’re very welcome.
Additionally, just a note from me—I’m available for hire (for free, just to pass the time and have fun).
