PLS HELP data wont store

The entire reason for my question is to see if he even did it right.

#24

I believe the datastore was cut off and the code snippet wasn’t the whole thing, but you could be completely right here. Seems weird it wasn’t included.

local TimeStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("MinutesPlayed")

full code here
~~lua

local DataStoreService = game:GetService(“DataStoreService”)
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore(“TimeStats”)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local Leaderstats = Instance.new(“Folder”)
Leaderstats.Name = “leaderstats”
Leaderstats.Parent = Player
local Time = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
Time.Name = “Time”
Time.Value = 0
Time.Parent = Leaderstats

local Data = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
if Data then
	Time.Value = Data
end

coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
	while true do
		wait(60)
		Time.Value = Time.Value + 1
	end
end))

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Time.Value)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
for i, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Time.Value)
end
end)

#26

idk why that posted weird but there i tried changing all values straight from minutes over to time

#27

try adding a print line inside player removing then test it

#28

You posted ‘~’ instead of ‘`’. You just held shift down, no worries.

I think this should work fine. Again, why is the coroutine even necessary though?

the coroutine just felt simplier to put in (i understood its use a little more)

#30

You’re using phone quotation marks(“”) instead of computer ones(""). rlua does not work with phone quotation marks.

#31

Here is it with normal quotation marks that will work with rlua:

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

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local Leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	Leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	Leaderstats.Parent = Player
	local Time = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Time.Name = "Time"
	Time.Value = 0
	Time.Parent = Leaderstats

	local Data = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
	if Data then
		Time.Value = Data
	end

	coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
		while true do
			wait(60)
			Time.Value = Time.Value + 1
		end
	end))
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
	DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Time.Value)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	for i, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Time.Value)
	end
end)

the coroutine isnt the problem though the time works perfectly it just doesnt save to it the datastore aka TimeStats

#33

Instead of having local Data = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId) when loading do local Data = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Time.Value) (maybe)

#34

doesnt work good shout though appreciate it

#35

what comes up when you print(data) on loading

#36

What is rlua?

Install a different keyboard and try again. I believe Swype doesn’t do this.

Does it save when there’s multiple players in a server, and only one leaves?

#37

yes it doesnt save when its one player in server and it shuts down as far as i know when multiple players are in server and one leaves and rejoins it does save

#38

rlua stands for Roblox lua :exploding_head:

hey i tried using your scripts to test but its still not saving which leads me to believe its something else

#40

When you load the data could you just do print(data) and show me what it says please

#41

i fixed it i had a seperate script from a temp mod menu which was cleaning my datastores everytime game shutdown

#42

Ah, well thats good to know that its all fixed now :+1:
