[UNSOLVED] Loading multiple StringValues when the player joins

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Hi, I was wondering if I could load string values when the player is added

My current script:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("KeybindsStore")

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local keybinds = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Keybinds")







local function create_table()

	local player_stats = {}

	for _, stat in pairs(keybinds.Shoot:GetChildren()) do

		player_stats[stat.Name] = stat.Value

	end

	return player_stats

end



local function onPlayerExit(player) 



	local player_stats = create_table(player)

	local success, err = pcall(function()

		local playerUserId = "Player_" .. player.UserId

		DataStore:SetAsync(playerUserId, player_stats) 

	end)



	if not success then

		warn('Could not save data!')

	end

end
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(onPlayerExit)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You need to use :GetAsync to loads something that are saved.

Use player added then use get async to load the string values that were saved?

Yes you need to do it like that.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("KeybindsStore")

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local keybinds = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Keybinds")




local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	local data
	
	local success , err = pcall(function()
		data = DataStore:GetAsync("Player_" .. player.UserId)
	end)
	
	if success then
		warn('Loaded data for player: ' .. player.Name)
	elseif not success then
		warn('Loading data for player: ' .. player.Name .. " has failed!")
	end
end


local function create_table()

	local player_stats = {}

	for _, stat in pairs(keybinds.Shoot:GetChildren()) do

		player_stats[stat.Name] = stat.Value

	end

	return player_stats

end



local function onPlayerExit(player) 



	local player_stats = create_table(player)

	local success, err = pcall(function()

		local playerUserId = "Player_" .. player.UserId

		DataStore:SetAsync(playerUserId, player_stats) 

	end)



	if success then

		warn('Saved data for player: ' .. player.Name)
	elseif not success then
		warn('Saving data for player: ' .. player.Name .. " has failed!")

	end

end



game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(onPlayerExit)

But when I change one of the string values, it successfully saves but doesn’t load the players data

maybe try to change local data to local data = {}

and can you try to print the data that loaded using for i v loop?

Ok, I will try this.

Yeah, It doesn’t work.
