Problems with Data Stores

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am having problems with my Datastores. And what really confuses me is that there are no errors coming up so I can’t figure it out that way. Would anybody have any solutions?

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

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local LeaderStats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	LeaderStats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue", LeaderStats)
	Cash.Name = "Cash"
	
	local Data
	
	local Success, ErrorMessage = pcall (function()
		Data = MyDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Cash")
	end)
	
	if Success then
		Cash.Value = Data
		print(Data)
		print("Player data was successfully retrieved")
	else
		print("There was an error retrieving your data")
		warn(ErrorMessage)
	end 
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local Success, ErrorMessage = pcall (function()
		MyDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Cash", player.leaderstats.Cash.Value)
	end)
	
	if Success then
		print("Player data successfully saved")
	else
		print("There was a problem saving the data")
		warn(ErrorMessage)
	end
end)

According to the output it is saying that scripts are being saved and retrieved but the value is simply 0 which it shouldn’t be.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You said “-Cash”

local Success, ErrorMessage = pcall (function()
		Data = MyDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Cash")
	end)

Is this a fixed version? I can’t tell.

#5

Yes try it and see if it works

#6

No this isn’t the problem because I don’t think it matters what it’s called so long as they are both the same.

#7

Have you enabled api services in game settings

#8

Yes I have done this.

Join in the game and the do “/console” in the chat and tell if there is any errors

#10

No, There are no errors in the output

#11

Try publishing the game and testing it

#12

I have been doing this all along.

#13

I will just rewrite the entire code. And start from fresh.

I have been able to get it working by simply re-writing the entire thing from scratch. Here’s the finish product:

I made two separate scripts one for Leaderstats and one for Datastores

Datastores:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local cashStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerMoney")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local success, currentCash = pcall(function()
		return cashStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	end)

	if success then
		player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = currentCash
	end
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		cashStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Cash.Value)
	end)

	if success then
		print("Success!")
	else
		warn(err)
	end
end)

Leaderstats:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
	cash.Name = "Cash"
	cash.Value = 0
	cash.Parent = leaderstats
end)
