My code only reads nil from datastore, help?
Hi guys. Im trying to create a position saver with datastore. This part below is how i saved the data. The second part is where it reads nil aways instead of the saved value.
Why is this happening?
-- saving:
local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
local character = sessionData[playerUserId].Char
sessionData[playerUserId].X = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.X
sessionData[playerUserId].Y = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Y
sessionData[playerUserId].Z = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position.Z
sessionData[playerUserId].x = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector.X
sessionData[playerUserId].y = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector.Y
sessionData[playerUserId].z = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector.Z
print("saved X =",sessionData[playerUserId].X)
local tries = 0
local success
local errormsg
repeat
tries = tries + 1
success, errormsg = pcall(function() playerData:SetAsync(playerUserId, sessionData[playerUserId]) end)
-- reading:
local data
local sussess, errormsg = pcall(function() data = playerData:GetAsync(playerUserId) end)
if data then -- se tiver
warn("DataStore downloaded for", player)
sessionData[playerUserId] = data
print("reading X =", sessionData[playerUserId].X) -- prints nil
spawn(function() -- this part is constanty atualizing character info for when player leaves.
while saving and player.Character do
if character.Humanoid.SeatPart ~= nil then
seat = character.Humanoid.SeatPart
end
if seat then
sessionData[playerUserId].Vehicle = character.Humanoid.SeatPart.Parent.Name
else
sessionData[playerUserId].Vehicle = "None"
end
sessionData[playerUserId].Char = player.Character
print(character, "saving")
wait(2)
end
end)
Notes: I checked that "sessionData[playerUserId].Char" is saving corectly with all infos needed. Also I tried putting a generic number instead of Position.X and it keeps returning nil instead of the number, to make sure I can save Position.XYZ in datastore. The "data" variable is sussessfuly returning a table. All the data saved comes just as "nil nil nil nil".
Is it possible to be corrupt data or something like this?

Do this script:
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds1 = DataStore:GetDataStore("PositionSave")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = Player
local Pos = Instance.new("CFrameValue")
Pos.Name = "PlayerPosition"
Pos.Parent = leaderstats
Pos.Value = ds1:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or CFrame.new(workspace.StartPart) --Make a Part in Workspace called StartPart and put it where players spawn if it's their first time playing.
Player.Character.Head.CFrame = CFrame.new(Pos.Value)
ds1:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Pos.Value)
print(Player.Name.."'s Position was successfully loaded!"
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
Pos.Value = Player.Character.Head.Position
ds1:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Pos.Value)
print(Player.Name.."'s Position was successfully saved!")
end)
It may or may not work, by mark as solved if it did! If it didn't get word to me and I'll try help again.

you cant save a Vector3 value in datastore =\ Necro_las 412 — 3y
0
and moving a players head like that causes instant death Necro_las 412 — 3y

Just try it and I can try something else if it fails JB_SuperGamer 165 — 3y
