Offline Player's Leaderstats

Hello, can someone help me with getting Offline player’s Bool value (with datastore)?

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to get the offline players bool value and if its true it will do something. Basicly I want to get a True/False word from the offline player.

  2. What is the issue?
    I have no clue how to solve this.

Example:

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("DataStore")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local Leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	Leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	Leaderstats.Parent = Player

	local IsVip = Instance.new("BoolValue")
	IsVip.Name = "IsVip"
	IsVip.Parent = Leaderstats

	local IsVipData

	local Success, ErrorMessage = pcall(function()
		IsVipData = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-IsVipData")
	end)

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
	pcall(function()
		DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId.."-IsVipData", Player.leaderstats.IsVip.Value)
	end)
end)

--------Now tricky part comes:

-- offline player is called "DavidLolHun"
local Name = "DavidLolHun"

if DavidLolHun.leaderstats.IsVip.Value == true then
    print("Offline player named DavidLolHun is Vip")
else
    print("Offline player named DavidLolHun is NOT Vip")
end

You already have your answer with the code you provided. Take a look at this:

What you’re doing here essentially is whenever a player joins, you’re looking to see if that specfic datastore is true or false. This is exactly what you need to do to get the information, with a few changes.

Because you’re looking for a username, you need to convert that to a userId. This can be done with Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync. Then, simply feed that value into a function similar to your PlayerAdded. If you’re confused on anything let me know and I’ll try and provide a sample, however that should work fine.

Sorry to say I still don’t find the way to make the script. How would you make the script?

#4

There is a topic about it already.

How did you get the player name? Can you get the userId from it? If yes then all you need to do is

local userId = 1234567 --change
local IsVipData

local Success, ErrorMessage = pcall(function()
	IsVipData = DataStore:GetAsync(userId.."-IsVipData")
end)
print(IsVipData)

I think he wants to edit their datastore But if he isn’t then he can do this.
But if he wants to edit it there is a plugin that does that
DataStore Editor V3 (Paid)
Free Datastore Editor plugin! [11K installs] [OPEN-SOURCE] (Free)

If he wants to edit it, he can also change the value then use SetAsync.

Ye I can get the UserId from it, but the main thing I would ask is when I try your code, it only prints out “nil” and not “false” or “true”. How can I get them printed out?

#9

If it’s nil it means that no data existed.

#10

How do I solve it? xdd You mean if you I write like a “IsVip.Value = false” at the beginning it should work right?

#12

No I mean that the data wasn’t saved / didnt exist.

#13

How do I add a new data to it so it would exist?

#14

How did not my script save it? ooo

#15

This means that the data wasn’t saved, in this part your just loading, did you ever save the data?

#16

Ummm lemme try save and publish the game and see if its all good

#17

Well you see, if you never save the data how do you expect to load it…

#18

well the script I made should save it right?

#19

No the script you made just loads it, to save use SetAsync with the key as the first parameter and the value as the second, SetAsync with the same exact Datastore.
