Problem with saving data

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, i was watching a youtube video to save data. And it had rebirths in it so i removed it, and it’s not working, can you help me? Link to youtube video: Saving Data - How to make a simulator in ROBLOX Part 5 - YouTube and script:

local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("SaveMyData")
game.Players.PlayedAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	wait()
	local plrkey = "Id_"..plr.userid
	local savevalue = plr.leaderstats.Clicks

local GetSaved = DS:GetAsync(plrkey)
if GetSaved then
savevalue.Value = GetSaved(1)
	else
		local NumbersForSaving = {savevalue.Value}
		DS:GetAsync(plrkey, NumbersForSaving)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	DS:SetAsync("id_"..plr.UserId, {plr.leaderstats.Clicks.Value})
end)

What doesn’t work in your script? Any errors?

#3

Yes, only one.
PlayedAdded is not a valid member of Players “Players”

#4

PlayedAdded? Do you mean… PlayerAdded? :joy:

Don’t forget to mark for a solution if I helped. :smiley:

Fixed grammar error, and still doesnt work.

#6

Any output errors you got this time?

#7

None. Tried ingame, doesnt work.

#8

That would only mean GetSaved is failing. Seeing you have

local GetSaved = DS:GetAsync(plrkey)
if GetSaved then

Tbh, that tutorial isn’t good. I’d recommend this one. It’s how I learned how to use data stores:

Is it long? Yes, but he goes through basically everything u need to make a data store.

#10

Yeah, that’s why you should use pcalls to see what’s wrong.

#11

Ok heres the fix I guess.
Also make sure that studio access to api services is enabled.

local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("SaveMyData")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	wait()
	local plrkey = "Id_"..plr.userId
	local savevalue = plr.leaderstats.Clicks
local Success, ErorrMsg = pcall(function()
	local GetSaved = DS:GetAsync(plrkey)
	if GetSaved then
		savevalue.Value = GetSaved
	else
		local NumbersForSaving = savevalue.Value
		DS:GetAsync(plrkey, NumbersForSaving)
	end

	end)
	if Success then
		print("Success loading data")
	else
		warn(ErorrMsg)
	end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	DS:SetAsync("Id_"..plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats.Clicks.Value)
end)

Proof it works:

And I’m still stuck with a probably basic problem on my own topic :sweat_smile:

Hopefully, I could help though!

Try testing it in Roblox player. I heard somewhere that PlayerRemoving doesn’t always run in studio.

#14

This didn’t work. Look at the post the post I did above. That one works.

#15

Turns out you messed up, too. It should be plr.UserId, not plr.userid.
