What do you want to achieve? I want to have the HumanoidDescription to wait for the datastore values to load before it runs
-
What is the issue? without a wait function of some sort it works fine alot of the time but sometimes the HumanoidDescription loads before the datastore values causing the game to never load
-
What solutions have you tried so far?
I tried adding a “wait(3)” (and trying other numbers) at the beginning of the HumanoidDescription but that’s not a really good solution
HumanoidDescription script
-- Stop automatic spawning so it can be done in the "PlayerAdded" callback
game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
-- Create a HumanoidDescription
--wait (3)
local humanoidDescription = Instance.new("HumanoidDescription")
humanoidDescription.HatAccessory = player.AvatarConf.Hat.Value
humanoidDescription.Face = player.AvatarConf.Face.Value
humanoidDescription.GraphicTShirt = player.AvatarConf.Shirt.Value
humanoidDescription.LeftLegColor = player.AvatarConf.Legs.Value
humanoidDescription.RightLegColor = player.AvatarConf.Legs.Value
humanoidDescription.TorsoColor = player.AvatarConf.Torso.Value
humanoidDescription.RightArmColor = player.AvatarConf.Arms.Value
humanoidDescription.LeftArmColor = player.AvatarConf.Arms.Value
humanoidDescription.HeadColor = player.AvatarConf.Head.Value
-- Spawn character with the HumanoidDescription
player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription(humanoidDescription)
end
-- Connect "PlayerAdded" event to "onPlayerAdded()" function
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
DataStore script
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("AvatarData")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Data = {
Face = 0;
Shirt = 0;
Pants = 0;
Hat = 0;
Torso = {5, 105, 174};
Arms = {245, 206, 44};
Head = {245, 206, 44};
Legs = {165, 190, 69}
}
local playersavetable = {};
local function loadStarterData(Player)
local CharData = Instance.new("Folder")
CharData.Name = "AvatarConf"
CharData.Parent = Player
for statname, statvalue in pairs(Data) do
if type(statvalue) == 'number' then
local intvalue = Instance.new("IntValue")
intvalue.Name = statname
intvalue.Value = statvalue
intvalue.Parent = CharData
else
local colorvalue = Instance.new("Color3Value")
colorvalue.Name = statname
colorvalue.Value = Color3.fromRGB(statvalue[1],statvalue[2],statvalue[3])
colorvalue.Parent = CharData
end
end
end
local function loadData(player)
local Data
local s, e = pcall(function()
Data = DataStore:GetAsync('UserId'..player.UserId)
end)
if s then
print (player.Name.."Data loaded")
else
print(player.Name.."Data failed to load")
end
if Data then
for statname, statvalue in pairs(Data) do
player.stats[statname].Value = statvalue
end
print(player.Name.."Data has been loaded")
else
print(player.Name.."No data found! generating..")
end
end
local function saveData(player)
if RunService:IsStudio() then return end
local Data = {}
for _, stat in pairs(player.Stats:GetChildren())do
Data[stat.Name] = stat.Value
end
local s, e = pcall(function()
DataStore:SetAsync('UserId'..player.UserId)
end)
if s then
print(player.Name.."Data has been saved")
else
warn (player.Name.."Data failed to save")
end
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
playersavetable[player] = tick()
loadStarterData(player)
loadData(player)
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
saveData(player)
end)
