Tools datastore not saving upon PlayerRemoving?
Hello, so I've been trying to save upon playerremoving but it never wants to work. I even used BindToClose() and I know it works 30 seconds before shutdown they said. But when I leave, the tool wont save.
This is currently my code right now:
01 | local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
02 | local dataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("BackpackSave") |
03 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
04 | pcall(function() |
05 | local tool = dataStore:GetAsync("User-"..player.UserId) |
06 | if tool then |
07 | for i,v in pairs(tool) do |
08 | local toolFound = game.ReplicatedStorage.Items:FindFirstChild(v) |
09 | if toolFound then |
10 | toolFound:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end) |
15 | end) |

Any help is appreciated...

your character is probably spawning after you parent the tool to the backpack, meaning that your backpack gets reset
try parenting a clone of the tool to both player.Backpack and player.StarterGear instead of just player.Backpack

It worked fine for me. Are you sure you have API Services enabled? (Game Settings -> Security -> Enable Studio Access to API Services)? Make sure to restart your studio after you save.

Apparently, I get "22:58:38.509 - DataStore request was added to queue. If request queue fills, further requests will be dropped. Try sending fewer requests.Key = User-28814494" WARN, which I'm aware it happens. But I feel like there's something sketchy in my code. TinfoilbotGamer 35 — 4y

So its not working, and yes I enabled API services. TinfoilbotGamer 35 — 4y

Apparently, it just rarely works. Any ways to fix this? TinfoilbotGamer 35 — 4y

I would recommend making it also auto-save every few seconds since data stores fail saving on player removed especially when there's only one player in the server NotMiskie 78 — 4y
