Trouble With Finding Leaderstats Value For A Table

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi, I am trying to save data to a datastore but the script to create a table won’t find the leaderstats value in the first place. I have made sure it is definitely a problem with this part of the script and not another part of the datastore process. Basically, what happens when I get it to print the values it prints the values as 0 instead of the value that the leaderstat is set to.

function create_table(player)
	local plr_stats = {}
	for i, v in pairs(player.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
		plr_stats[v.Name] = v.Value 
	end
	return plr_stats
end

I am not sure why this is happening and I would like your advice on this, thank you.

Maybe this will work.

local plr_stats = {}
function create_table(player)
	for i, v in ipairs(player.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
		if not plr_stats[v.Name] then
			plr_stats[v.Name] = v.Value 
		end
	end
	return plr_stats -- or just get the plr_stats from the other functions
end

All I did was put the table outside the function and add a check to see weither there is something in the table already

Tip

please dont be like me and forget that ipairs exists (its faster than using just pairs. ipairs goes in order and pairs goes in a random order*)
