Hello guys I have problem of saving using DataStore cuz I’m saving the value of the object Value and it’s not working can someone help me.

Oh sure but I’m using my phone right now I can’t get the script but I can give an example

Just for example

Local Data = game:GetService ("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("objSaving")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
         Local obj = instance.new("ObjectValue")
         Obj.Parent = plr
          Obj.Value = Data:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or nil -- nil for now but when it's not nil and it has obj value it will save
         -- sorry I'm using my phone to make this script and you know I make a another function for SetAsync and this most important script

       If not obj.Value == nil then
              -- clone the value and parent it.
       end
end)

Hope this is fine

why did you put if not object == nil i assume you are trying to see if there is no value in it then try removing the nil or the not:

If not obj.Value  then
              -- clone the value and parent it.
       end
end)

or try this:

   If obj.Value == nil then
                  -- clone the value and parent it.
           end
    end)

But the error say DataStore can’t save the obj value as I understand

6

Oh i get it now its because You are unable to save objects or object value, only properties of an objects or a values in a datastore

7

Yes so there ways to solve it?

8

Actually what kind of object you want to save

I would recommend using datastore2, also using tables instead of ObjValues. Sorry I wasn’t able to help your current dilemma, but I would highly recommend looking into it. I would be able to help you if you provide more infomation/.

A folder that contains more children but when you save the the folder it’s automatic save the children right?

11

Oh I try it maybe later if I use computer

12

oh is there values in the children if there is then try saving them as a table with each children’s values

13

Can I have an example of saving a table?

14

sure here:

local tab = {SomeValue= 4, AnotherValue = 10};
DataStore:SetAsync(key, tab)

i suggest you try using datastore2 for that
