Hello!
Somehow, the code reaches the end and states the data is saved. Sadly, when rejoining the game, nothing is saved. I’ve tried figuring out why, but I haven’t succeeded.
I tried putting everything into a single data store since I read it was a better option (rather than having like 5 individual).
Update: Just realized I was printing out the wrong variable. The datastore isn’t saving at all but the table sent is correct.
-- Once player joins game, leaderboard is set and their data is loaded
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
-- Data
local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
folder.Name = "leaderstats"
folder.Parent = player
local Stage = Instance.new("IntValue")
Stage.Name = "Stage"
Stage.Parent = folder
local Rebirths = Instance.new("IntValue")
Rebirths.Name = "Rebirths"
Rebirths.Parent = folder
local playerData
local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
-- Loading data stores
local success, errorMssg = pcall(function()
playerData = playerDataStore:GetAsync(playerUserId)
end)
if success then
if playerData then
print(playerData)
-- Sets all data
local folder_leaderstas = playerData["leaderstats"]
for i, data_folder in pairs( playerData ) do
local tableName = i
-- i = leaderstats, owned items, values data
for j, data in pairs(data_folder) do
--print(j)
-- j = SODA, etc.
if i == "ownedItems" then
ownedItems_data:FindFirstChild(j).Value = data
end
if i == "leaderstats" then
folder:FindFirstChild(j).Value = data
end
if i == "valuesData" then
values_data:FindFirstChild(j).Value = data
end
end
end
else
print("failed")
end
print("Player data should be loaded!")
else
warn(errorMssg)
end
-- Teleport player back to their checkpoint
if player.Character then
teleportPlr(player)
end
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
teleportPlr(player)
end)
end)
local function create_table(player)
-- creates MAIN TABLE for data
local playerData = {
[player.leaderstats.Name] = {},
[values_data.Name] = {},
[ownedItems_data.Name] = {}
}
-- get leaderstats data
for i, stat in pairs(player.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
playerData[player.leaderstats.Name][stat.Name] = stat.Value
end
-- get values data
for i, value in pairs(values_data:GetChildren()) do
playerData[values_data.Name][value.Name] = value.Value
end
-- get shop values data
for i, item in pairs(shopValues:GetChildren()) do
playerData[ownedItems_data.Name][item.Name] = item.Value
end
return playerData
end
local function saveData(player)
-- added this bc of a solved devforum post using this.. not sure if it even
-- makes a difference
local localPDS = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerDataStore", player)
local playerData = create_table(player)
-- save player data table
local success, errorMssg = pcall(function()
local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
localPDS:SetAsync(playerData, playerUserId)
print("end.. saved data")
wait(7)
end)
if success then
-- try to keep saving data here
-- try and catch?? add later
print("Player data saved!")
print(playerData)
else
warn(errorMssg)
end
end
--Once player leaves, their data is saved
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
saveData(player)
end)
-- i read this gives more security when saving -> runs when server shuts down
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
game:BindToClose(function() -- (only needed inside Studio)
for i, player in pairs( game.Players:GetPlayers() ) do
