So this is not about leaderstats data but saving data from previous sessions. If a player has a title equipped and they leave, the next time they join, the same title should be located on their avatar. Another example would be pets. If a player has a pet equipped, the next time they join, the pet should already be sitting next to their avatar.
So I am using this script in serverscriptservice to create leaderstats and values. In the script, it creates the values previousstyle and previoustitle. I want previoustitle to equal the text on top of the characterâs head and then save that value when the player leaves. Here is my script:
local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds = dss:GetDataStore("DATA")
local tools = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Tools")
local titles = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Titles")
function saveData(plrLeaving)
if not plrLeaving:GetAttribute('DataSuccess') then
return
end
local ownedTools = {}
for i, tool in pairs(plrLeaving.OwnedTools:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(ownedTools, tool.Name)
end
local ownedTitles = {}
for i, title in pairs(plrLeaving.OwnedTitles:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(ownedTitles, title.Name)
end
local title;
pcall(function()
title = plrLeaving.Character.Head.NameTag.Title.Text
end)
local output = {
Titles = ownedTitles,
Tools = ownedTools,
Coins = plrLeaving.leaderstats.Coins.Value,
Wins = plrLeaving.leaderstats.Wins.Value,
Skips = plrLeaving.leaderstats.Skips.Value,
Style = "", -- BE SURE TO SAVE THE STYLE!
Title = title,
}
local success, err = pcall(function()
ds:SetAsync(plrLeaving.UserId, game.HttpService:JSONEncode(output))
end)
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local toolsOwned = {}
local titlesOwned = {}
local style = ""
local title = ""
local coins = 0
local wins = 0
local skips = 0
local packedData;
local s, err = pcall(function()
packedData = ds:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
end)
if s then
plr:SetAttribute('DataSuccess', true)
else
print(tostring(err))
end
if packedData then
local s = pcall(function()
packedData = game.HttpService:JSONDecode(packedData)
end)
if typeof(packedData) == 'table' then
titlesOwned = packedData.Titles or titlesOwned
toolsOwned = packedData.Tools or toolsOwned
coins = packedData.Coins or coins
wins = packedData.Wins or wins
skips = packedData.Skips or skips
title = packedData.Titled or title
else
plr:SetAttribute('DataSuccess', false)
end
end
if not plr:GetAttribute('DataSuccess') then
-- notify the player that their data did not load successfully.
local msg = Instance.new('Message')
msg.Name = '__ALEXSMESSAGE'
msg.Text = 'Failed to load your data. Please rejoin.'
msg.Parent = plr:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
game.Debris:AddItem(msg, 5)
end
local ls = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
ls.Name = "leaderstats"
local coinsValue = Instance.new("IntValue", ls)
coinsValue.Name = "Coins"
coinsValue.Value = coins
local winsValue = Instance.new("IntValue", ls)
winsValue.Name = "Wins"
winsValue.Value = wins
local skipsValue = Instance.new("IntValue", plr)
skipsValue.Name = "Skips"
skipsValue.Value = skips
local previoustitle = Instance.new("StringValue", plr)
previoustitle.Name = "previoustitle"
previoustitle.Value = title
local previousstyle = Instance.new("StringValue", plr)
previousstyle.Name = "previousstyle"
previousstyle.Value = style
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
--Varibles
local head = char.Head
local newtext = nametag:Clone()
local uppertext = newtext:WaitForChild("Name")
local lowertext = newtext.Title
local humanoid = char.Humanoid
humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.None -- use enum instead of a string
--Main Text
newtext.Parent = head
newtext.Adornee = head
uppertext.Text = plr.Name
if plr.previoustitle.Value ~= "" then
lowertext.Text = plr.previoustitle.Value
end
--"If" Statements
--You can add as many of these as you wish, just change it to the player's name.
end)
local ownedFolder2 = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
ownedFolder2.Name = "OwnedTools"
local ownedFolder3 = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
ownedFolder3.Name = "OwnedTitles"
for i, owned in pairs(toolsOwned) do
if tools:FindFirstChild(owned) then
tools[owned]:Clone().Parent = ownedFolder2
end
end
for i, owned in pairs(titlesOwned) do
if titles:FindFirstChild(owned) then
titles[owned]:Clone().Parent = ownedFolder3
end
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(saveData)
game:BindToClose(function()
for i, plrLeaving in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
coroutine.wrap(function()
saveData(plrLeaving)
end)()
end
-- stall the server
if not game:GetService('RunService'):IsStudio() then
while wait() do
if math.floor(os.clock()%5)== 0 then
print('OMG WE ALL FINNA DIE')
end
end
end
end)
spawn(function()
while wait(60) do
for i, plrLeaving in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
coroutine.wrap(function()
saveData(plrLeaving)
end)()
end
end
end)
As you can see in the script, it creates a string value called previoustitle. I want it to set the value of previous title to plr.Character.Head.Nametag.Title.Text and whenever a player leaves, the title equipped before the player left is the one they have equipped now.
Lots of nice people have helped me with this script but none of them have seemed to figure out how to to do this and make it work properly. Can you help me?
