Saving Bool or Int Value

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#24

datastores are just like tables

#25

because you are in studio, i’ve set the setasync so it doesn’t work on studio, to prevent data loss

#26

only 1 localplayer when in localscript so what are u talking abt

#27

but that localscript gets replicated to all players, which means a lot of local scripts running the same code, also, never use clients for a simple datastore like this

#28

Sorry! Forgot some things! this should make a value under a player and save it if it changes. Why did you want to put the value in lightning by the way?

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local thisDataStore = DSS:GetDataStore("PixelBootsDataStore")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

local defaultData = 2 --set this to whatever you'd like

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local pixelBoots = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	pixelBoots.Name = "PixelBoots"
	pixelBoots.Parent = plr
	local data
	local success, response = pcall(function()
		data = thisDataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
	end)
	if success then
	  if data then
		pixelBoots.Value = data.PixelBoots
	  else
		pixelBoots.Value = defaultData
	  end
	  plr:SetAttribute("HasLoadedDataStore", true)
	end
end)
players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	local pixelBoots = plr.PixelBoots
	local data = {pixelBoots.Value}
	local hadLoadedAttribute = plr:GetAttribute("HasLoadedDataStore")
	local success, response = pcall(function()
		if not runService:IsStudio() and hadLoadedAttribute == true then
			thisDataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, data)
		end
	end)
end)

Because, you don’t use lighting for things, so I thought I could use it to store values.

#30

My recommendation is to store the player’s data on a folder created for each player on join in serverstorage, but that may be advanced for you, if it is then just save values into a player instance, because you can also access that data with local scripts (clients cannot access serverscriptservice and serverstorage because they do not get replicated for them)

#31

Also tell me if the script worked, (won’t work in-studio)
I remade it so it can work with studio if you want

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local thisDataStore = DSS:GetDataStore("PixelBootsDataStore")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

local canRunInStudio = true --change this to whatever you'd like

local defaultData = 2 --set this to whatever you'd like

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local pixelBoots = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	pixelBoots.Name = "PixelBoots"
	pixelBoots.Parent = plr
	local data
	local success, response = pcall(function()
		data = thisDataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
	end)
	if success then
	  if data then
		pixelBoots.Value = data.PixelBoots
	  else
		pixelBoots.Value = defaultData
	  end
	  plr:SetAttribute("HasLoadedDataStore", true)
	end
end)
players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	local pixelBoots = plr.PixelBoots
	local data = {pixelBoots.Value}
	local hadLoadedAttribute = plr:GetAttribute("HasLoadedDataStore")
	local success, response = pcall(function()
		if (not runService:IsStudio() or canRunInStudio == true) and hadLoadedAttribute == true then
			thisDataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, data)
		end
	end)
end)

I can’t tell you right now, because I had to go and I’m on my phone right now.

#33

It doesn’t work, I’m checking the value in studio and it doesn’t save everytime I change it.

Hello? Can someone help? (30 letters)
