Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

hello

  1. What do you want to achieve? I want to have this save script save your head size through the leaderstats script

  2. What is the issue? I cannot save the leaderstats nor the head size

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I looked at tutorials, the devforum, and the toolbox

  4. Ask me anything, I can try to answer

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local playerData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("playerData")

local Players = game:GetService("Players")


Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		--making leaderstats
		task.spawn(function()
			while task.wait() do 
				HeadSize.Value = Character.Head.Size.Magnitude
				end
				end)
				local data 
				local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
					data = playerData:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-HeadSize") 
				end)
				if success then 
					HeadSize.Value = data
				else
					print("Error while getting your data")
					warn(errormessage)
				end
			end)
end)	
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		playerData:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-HeadSize", player.leaderstats.Value.Value)
	end)

	if success then
		print("Data successfully saved!")
	else
		print("There was an error while saving the data")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)
		
		
		thankth alot for reading

  1. Where’s the leaderstats?
  2. You typed in the SetAsync value Value.Value
  3. Make sure API services are on…

whats the point of making a leaderstats folder every time the character respawns?

using :GetAsync repeatly can cause a lot of lag, there is no point (especially in your code)

whole code block is messed up

If you want some easy-to-use alternatives to Datastores in general that are really simple i’d suggest:

or

you only have to create a leaderstats folder joins the game, or Player.PlayerAdded. The leaderstats doesn’t delete or go anywhere whenever the character respawns or dies
