i dont want to use while loops

can answers be like coroutines and spawn and delay

#2

Could you elaborate on what specifically you want to do? This question is particularly very broad.

basically when the player is added a folder is added and a child added event just runs once so how can i repeat child added in a player adding event?

#4

Then just attach a ChildAdded event in the folder??? That event fires if a child is added to a instance.

#5

you mean insert a script inside the folder i wouldnt or what are you talking about

#6 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
    folder.Parent = plr
    plr.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
        --stuff
    end)
end)
#7

shouldnt it be the folder that im referencing

#8

You said a folder is created when a player joins, meaning you either used Instance.new or cloned a folder. Either will do, just attach an event to it.

#9

so i put the child added event of the folder inside the player.ChildAdded event?

#10

What are you trying to do with the ChildAdded event?

#11

save the players data by using datastore2

#12

Why do you need to attach a ChildAdded event when saving a player’s data?

#13

because datastore2 saves without even using a player added event

it doesnt even print saved when a child is added

#14

When saving data, it should be done in some ways:

  1. Auto save.
  2. Player leaving
  3. Game shutting down

The ChildAdded won’t let you save data.

#15

well im using datastore2 so i dont need any of that

#16

You may look at a post on how to properly save data using Datastore2:

#17

Instead im going to use it in remote events so no one gets confused
