How to make my Datastore load the player's Cash?

Asked by 4 years ago

Script so when the player joins the game, it gives the leaderstats folder + the Cash value inside

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
    wait()
    local stats = Instance.new("Folder")
    stats.Name = "leaderstats"

    local score = Instance.new("IntValue")

    score.Name = "Cash"
    score.Value = 0

    score.Parent = stats    
    stats.Parent = newPlayer
end

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

Datastore Script

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("CashData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) --Load

    wait(0.2)

    local plrkey = "id_"..plr.userId
    local leaderstats = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
    local cash = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Cash")

    local GetSaved = ds:GetAsync(plrkey)

    if GetSaved then
        cash.Value = GetSaved[1]
    else
        local NumberForSaving = {cash.Value}
        ds:GetAsync(plrkey, NumberForSaving)
    end

    while wait(300) do --AutoSave
        ds:SetAsync("id_"..plr.userId, {plr.leaderstats.Cash.Value})
    end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr) --Save
    local leaderstats = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
    local cash = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Cash")
    ds:SetAsync("id_"..plr.userId, {cash.Value})
end)

[Error is from the Datastore script]:

"ServerScriptService.CashDatastore:14: attempt to index number with number"

Not sure if that's the problem, but line 17 (data store script) contains GetAsync(), and it seems like you want to save, not load, so change it to SetAsync(). That might be the problem (No data). But I am not sure since you get Attempt to index number with number, and not nil.
