Data store script to store a part's property isn't working?
I wanna make it so when the part is touched it changes it's color, also I want it to Data Store that part's Color when a player joins and when a player leaves, it's my first time trying to Data Store a part's property so of course it's going to fail the first time and that's why I'm here, to get some help from you Advanced scripters. :D
Code, a bit too long.
local datastoreservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("BrickColorDatastore")
local part = game.Workspace.coolpart
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local success,errmsg = pcall(function()
datastoreservice:SetAsync(player.UserId,part.BrickColor)
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
end)
if success then
print("Part's color has been stored")
else
print("Part's color failed to store")
warn(errmsg)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local success, errmsg = pcall(function()
datastoreservice:SetAsync(player.UserId,part.BrickColor)
end)
if success then
print("Data store successed")
else
print("Data store failed")
warn(errmsg)
end
end)
Output errors:
So this is what the output is showing when I join the game in Roblox Studio:
Cannot store int in data store. Data stores can only accept valid UTF-8 characters.
Details.
I don't really know if its possible to data store a part's property but I believe it can.
The script is parented to ServerScriptService
The Part name is "coolpart". Probably not helpful of a detail.
Anyways, thanks for helping if you did or tried your best, I think it's a easy thing for you to solve this right..?

I think it means you have to store the value in less than 8 characters. You should find a way to shorten the color value, here's a solution that may not be the GREATEST but, it fixes your problem.
local datastoreservice = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("BrickColorDatastore")
local part = game.Workspace.coolpart
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local color = Instance.new("IntValue")
color.Name = "BrickColorStore"
color.Parent = player
local success, errmsg = pcall(function()
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
if part.BrickColor == "Really red" then
player.BrickColorStore.Value = 1
datastoreservice:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.BrickColorStore.Value)
end
if part.BrickColor == "Hot pink" then
player.BrickColorStore.Value = 2 -- continue to do this for all the colors will be
datastoreservice:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.BrickColorStore.Value)
end
end)
if success then
print("Part's color has been stored")
else
print("Part's color failed to store")
warn(errmsg)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local success, errmsg = pcall(function()
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
if part.BrickColor == "Really red" then
player.BrickColorStore.Value = 1
datastoreservice:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.BrickColorStore.Value)
end
if part.BrickColor == "Hot pink" then
player.BrickColorStore.Value = 2 -- continue to do this for all the colors your part will be
datastoreservice:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.BrickColorStore.Value)
end
end)
end)
I don't know why you would need to get a value just to change the color of a part to a set color but I'm not you so I wouldn't know lol
