My DataStore isn't saving leaderstats?
Hi. I'm trying to make a data store that saves the amount of cash someone has. But the problem is that it isn't saving. Here is the code.
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore")
function playerJoin(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
Cash.Name = "Cash"
Cash.Value = 0
Cash.Parent = leaderstats
local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
--Load Data
local data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
local data = myDataStore:GetAsync(playerUserId)
end)
if success then
Cash.Value = data
-- Set our data to the current Money
end
end
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
local data = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
myDataStore:SetAsync(playerUserId, data)
end)
if success then
print("Data Succesfully Saved!")
else
print("There was an error when saving data!")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(playerJoin)

Put print statements to debug it. kingblaze_1000 359 — 4y

When using Players.PlayerRemoving event, it doesn't save the last player in the server, the reason why is because the server instantly shuts down when the last player leaves. A way to solve that is use game:BindToClose(). game:BindToClose() is a function that allows to run any code for 30 seconds before the server fully shuts down. Here's how you can solve it:
game:BindToClose(function()
for _, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local userId = v.UserId
local data = v.leaderstats.Cash.Value
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
myDataStore:SetAsync(userId,data)
end)
if success then
print("Data saved and server closed")
else
warn("Error while saving data: "..errorMessage)
end
end
end)
Source: DataModel:BindToClose()
