Trying to Make Table Datastore

I think you need the bindtoclose function then. Add that in to see if that fixes it.

Added it in, still doesnt work @DarkDanny04 @CherryMolotov, I used @Cameron4009’s BindToClose function image

#23

On line 32 you have a ; on the first value. Instead, try this:

skin1= plr.skins.NoobSkin.Value,
skin2 = plr.skins.BussinessManSkin.Value;
#24

You literally stole that from my mouth :rage:

That doesn’t make a difference. You can use commas or semi-colons with tables.

Instead of kicking the player in your bind to close, just simply add a wait(3). Just tested it, and it works with a wait(3) in the bind to close.

Ah, that’s our bad, I never see people use semi-colons to be fully honest, good to know!

Btw the print(“Data Saved Successfully”) still isnt printing something to do with the playerremoving function

I see your mistake now. On line 25 you have have “data.NoobSkin” The table doesn’t have that. Instead, it has “data.skin1”

Just to clear it up, change line 25 and 26 to this:

skin1.Value=data.skin1
skin2.Value = data.skin2

I think i found the problem, you declared the data as skin2 and skin1 and then when loading you do data.NoobSkin and data.BussinessManSkin, try editing that!

You could also try to automate the process as i tried to say before i accidentally clicked enter with:

-- when loading
for i, v in pairs(data) do
 local value = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
 value.Name = v.Name
 value.Value = v
end

-- when saving
for i, v in pairs(plr.skins:GetChildren()) do
 data[v.Name] = v.Value
end

It should work, and also make your code a bit cleaner :wink:

Now to test the BussinessMan one real quick :grinning:

#35

That worked aswell! image
That means I should be able to add another skin into the table if I wanted? Like this? image image image

Yep you could do it like that. Be careful with how much data you keep in one table though, because if you have over 180K characters, you will see some errors coming from the datastore.
