Setting the amount of coins a user with specific ID using DataStore2

Hi, I’m trying to make it so that if a specific user joins, they will have 999,999 coins. Here is my code:

local DataStore2 = require(game.ServerScriptService.DataStore2)
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

local defaultCashValue = 0


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local coinsDataStore = DataStore2("Coins", plr)
	
	local cash = Instance.new("StringValue")
	cash.Name = "Cash"
	
	
	local function coinsUpdated(updatedValue)
		cash.Value = coinsDataStore:Get(updatedValue)
		game.ReplicatedStorage.UpdateClientCurrency:FireClient(plr, coinsDataStore:Get(defaultCashValue))
	end
	
	coinsUpdated(defaultCashValue)
	
	coinsDataStore:OnUpdate(coinsUpdated)
	
	if plr.UserId == 34355831 then
		coinsDataStore:Set(999999)
	end



end)

what is the problem?

No errors occur. The player doesn’t get the amount.

#4 
if plr.UserId == 34355831 then
		coinsDataStore:Set(999999)
coinsUpdated(999999)
	end
#5

That did not work. It’s Set and get, instead of SetAsync and GetAsync.

#6 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local coinsDataStore = DataStore2("Coins", plr)
local cash = Instance.new("StringValue")
cash.Name = "Cash"

local newValue = coinsDataStore:Get(100)

if plr.UserId == 34355831 then
	newValue= 999999
end
cash.Value = newValue
coinsDataStore:Set(newValue)
game.ReplicatedStorage.UpdateClientCurrency:FireClient(plr, newValue)

end)

What? That’s getting rid of the default value. That completely changes my Datastore.

#8

All I’d like is to set an amount for a specific user who joins to ONLY that user.

#9

yes, that will work for someone with that userid

#10

It still did not work. It kept the same amount the user originally had.

#11

the problem is when you do

coinsDataStore:Get(updatedValue)

you were giving the argument as a number

#12

That’s how it works, ::Get() takes any argument and sets it as a default value when data doesn’t exist.

@WooleyWool try something like this


local DataStore2 = require(game.ServerScriptService.DataStore2)
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

DataStore2.Combine("MainKey", "Coins")
local defaultCashValue = 0


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local coinsDataStore = DataStore2("Coins", plr)
	
	local cash = Instance.new("StringValue")
	cash.Name = "Cash"

	
	local function coinsUpdated(updatedValue)
		cash.Value = coinsDataStore:Get(updatedValue)
		game.ReplicatedStorage.UpdateClientCurrency:FireClient(plr, coinsDataStore:Get(defaultCashValue))
	end
	
	coinsUpdated(defaultCashValue)
	
	coinsDataStore:OnUpdate(coinsUpdated)
	
	if plr.UserId == 34355831 then
           local v = 99999
           coinsDataStore:Set(v)
           cash.Value = v
	end

 -- cash.Parent = player.leaderstats ? 

end)
