I basically want to create a button "New Game" and when they press it their stats get reset. I have the gui and in the gui i have the Script That fires an event named "ResetData" but i dont know what to put in the server script that makes the remote event reset the stats

DataStore

01local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02local DataStoreVersion = 10 -- Changing this version will wipe all data of players
03local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStorex"..DataStoreVersion) -- Changing "DataStoreV" will also wipe all data of players
04 
05game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
06    local Stats = Instance.new("Folder",Player)
07    Stats.Name = "Stats"
08 
09    local Strength = Instance.new("IntValue",Stats)
10    Strength.Name = "Strength"
11 
12    local Defense = Instance.new("IntValue",Stats)
13    Defense.Name = "Defense"
14 
15    local Energy = Instance.new("IntValue",Stats)
16    Energy.Name = "Energy"
17 
18    local Speed = Instance.new("IntValue",Stats)
19    Speed.Name = "Speed"
20 
21    local Rebirths = Instance.new("IntValue",Stats)
22    Rebirths.Name = "Rebirths"
23 
24    local loadedstrength
25    local loadeddefense
26    local loadedenergy
27    local loadedspeed
28    local loadedrebirths
29 
30    local success,errormessage = pcall(function()
31        loadedstrength = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Strength")
32        loadeddefense = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Defense")
33        loadedrebirths = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Energy")
34        loadedrebirths = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Speed")
35        loadedrebirths = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Rebirths")
36    end)

Maybe set all Values to 0 and then possibly save them virushunter9 943 — 5y

Can we get an example of the code used to save the data? This will help. Void_Frost 571 — 5y

Ok i tried it but it doesnt save and it doesnt change energy and speed to 0 for some reason

1game.ReplicatedStorage.ResetData.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(clicked)
2    clicked.Stats.Strength.Value = 0
3    clicked.Stats.Defense.Value = 0
4    clicked.Stats.Energy.Value = 0
5    clicked.Stats.Speed.Value = 0
6    clicked.Stats.Rebirths.Value = 0

Use a table. It's so much cleaner compared to using different keys. I've fixed your code:

01local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02local DataStoreVersion = 10 -- Changing this version will wipe all data of players
03local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStorex"..DataStoreVersion) -- Changing "DataStoreV" will also wipe all data of players
04 
05game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
06    local Stats = Instance.new("Folder",Player)
07    Stats.Name = "Stats"
08 
09    local Strength = Instance.new("IntValue",Stats)
10    Strength.Name = "Strength"
11 
12    local Defense = Instance.new("IntValue",Stats)
13    Defense.Name = "Defense"
14 
15    local Energy = Instance.new("IntValue",Stats)
16    Energy.Name = "Energy"
17 
18    local Speed = Instance.new("IntValue",Stats)
19    Speed.Name = "Speed"
20 
21    local Rebirths = Instance.new("IntValue",Stats)
22    Rebirths.Name = "Rebirths"
23 
24    local loadedstrength
25    local loadeddefense
26    local loadedenergy
27    local loadedspeed
28    local loadedrebirths
29local DataStoreReturned = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
30    loadedstrength = DataStoreReturned.Strength
31        loadeddefense = DataStoreReturned.Defense
32        loadedenergy = DataStoreReturned.Energy
33        loadedspeed = DataStoreReturned.Speed
34        loadedrebirths = DataStoreReturned.Rebirths
35 
36        Strength.Value = loadedstrength
37        Defense.Value = loadeddefense
38        Energy.Value = loadedenergy
39        Speed.Value = loadedspeed
40        Rebirths.Value = loadedrebirths
41 
42game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
43DataStore:SetAsync(plyr.UserId,{
44Strength = Player.Stats.Strength.Value
45Defense = Player.Stats.Defense.Value
46Energy = Player.Stats.Energy.Value
47Speed = Player.Stats.Speed.Value
48Rebirths = Player.Stats.Rebirths.Value

Also, since you said you were having trouble with tables, heres a very simple example:

1local value={
2TableValue1 = "test"
3}

if you type value.TableValue1 it will be "test"

its saying Expected '}' (to close '{' at line 43. got defense so i put ; after each line and that got rid of the red lines. Then when i tested it the stats did not save ItzSulfonic 61 — 5y

ah, i forgot commas. Please accept my answer :) Void_Frost 571 — 5y

The stats dont save tho ItzSulfonic 61 — 5y

Uh, that's your problem then, maybe because PlayerRemoving? My code is fine though... Any errors? Void_Frost 571 — 5y

no errors ItzSulfonic 61 — 5y

Can you add me on discord? Sulfonic#2593 ItzSulfonic 61 — 5y
