Why this script don't save table?

[ShkatulkaGames]

Oh ye! I was testing in actuall game so i couldn’t see errors after leaving but i tested in studio and it seems that i have error:

Is there any way i can save value of tool that equipped/inside character?

i will try add waitforchid

[megatank58]

I think Character might be removed before your script runs

[astraIboy (The Batman)]

Try to add waitforchild and see what happens then

[megatank58]

Wait for child isn’t going to help it clearly says attempt to index nil which means Humanoid parent isn’t there

[astraIboy (The Batman)]

Yeah wait for the parent which is the character

local character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

[ShkatulkaGames]

yeah… it didn’t gave any error but it don’t work

[megatank58]

that’s not going to work either instead use

player.CharacterRemoving

[ShkatulkaGames]

i can use this function inside this one?

The reason why you are getting this error is because you spelt Humanoid wrong. Here is your code with the correct spelling:

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	player.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
	local valuesToSave = {}
	
	for _, v in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
		valuesToSave[v.Name] = v:WaitForChild("Amount").Value
	end
	
	MyDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, valuesToSave)
end)

Instead of using SetAsync() you should look into using UpdateAsync() because

“SetAsync() can be hazardous since it overwrites any value currently in the entry. If you’re updating an existing entry, UpdateAsync() is recommended because it considers the old value before making changes.” - Quoted from the developers hub

Stop using SetAsync() to save player data

Update Notice 2022 If you want to setup reliable datastores quickly and without having to worry about all the quirks which come with the datastore API, definitely check out ProfileService. This thread is reasonably outdated whereas a resource like ProfileService is actively maintained by @loleris. It covers scenarios you might not typically account for such as preventing the duplication of items when trading with session-locking. Quick Disclaimer 2021 This post is a few years old now and my…

There is 1 problem with this actually that It would fire everytime player respawn

[astraIboy (The Batman)]

He spelled humanoid wrong thats why it wasnt working.

[ShkatulkaGames]

lol didn’t noticed that. but it still don’t save

[ShkatulkaGames]

i noticed that if i remove humanoid:UnequipTools() then it will save

[megatank58]

As i was wondering Now here is what you can do get a Character Removed event in Your script and do the

@ShkatulkaGames

player.Character.Humamoid:UnequipTools()
	local valuesToSave = {}
	
	for _, v in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
		valuesToSave[v.Name] = v:WaitForChild("Amount").Value
	end

there
You can then later just save it in main function

Have you activated the HTTPS Service in Studio? You can try in-game (not studio) if this can help.

[rogchamp (pasta)]

This doesn’t use HttpService, so HttpEnabled is not relevant.

[nooneisback]

Using :UnequipTools() is not required and the reason why it errors is because your character is already removed by the time PlayerRemoving fires.

@megatank58 using CharacterRemoved can be hazardous as it fires every time you die. Never do this for anything involving anything but in game death.

[Eternalove_fan32 (FrostDracony)]

@ShkatulkaGames

MyDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, valuesToSave)

This is datastore, and datastore need the https service to be activted.

Nvm, go to: Home»GameSettings»Options and enable „Enable Studio Access to API Services“

You might want to use pcall() so it finishes the code properly.

I know I haven’t recommended it here and i have also started it’s back effects
