DataStore to save appearance?
I have a menu which changes the players appearance.
I want my character to spawn with the last appearance it had on reset and when he rejoins game.
I have two folders on for Level and Money The other for Shirt , Pants , Hat , Hair , Face , Skin
How would I link a shirt img to a value
not sure if that's the exact question but hopefully someone can understand what I'm saying
Take look at what I came up , new to coding with datastore so please please please help me out .
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerData")
local function onPlayerJoin(player)
print("please wait!")
wait(3)
print("STARTING!")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") --Sets up leaderstats folder
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local Shards = Instance.new("IntValue") --Sets up value for leaderstats
Shards.Name = "Shards"
Shards.Parent = leaderstats
local Level = Instance.new("IntValue")
Level.Name = "Level"
Level.Parent = leaderstats
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local CharStats = Instance.new("Folder") --Sets up leaderstats folder
CharStats.Name = "CharStats"
CharStats.Parent = player
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local Shirt= Instance.new("IntValue") --Sets up value for leaderstats
Shirt.Name = "Shirt"
Shirt.Parent = CharStats
local Pants= Instance.new("IntValue")
Pants.Name = "Pants"
Pants.Parent = CharStats
local Face= Instance.new("IntValue")
Face.Name = "Face"
Face.Parent = CharStats
local Hat= Instance.new("IntValue")
Hat.Name = "Hat"
Hat.Parent = CharStats
local Hair= Instance.new("IntValue")
Hair.Name = "Hair"
Hair.Parent = CharStats
local Skin= Instance.new("IntValue")
Skin.Name = "Skin"
Skin.Parent = CharStats
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local playerUserId = "Player_" .. player.UserId --Gets player ID
local data = playerData:GetAsync(playerUserId) --Checks if player has stored data
if data then
Shards.Value = data['Shards']
Level.Value = data['Level']
Shirt.Value = data['Shirt']
Pants.Value = data ['Pants']
Face.Value = data ['Face']
Hair.Value = data['Hair']
Hat.Value = data['Hat']
Skin.Value = data['Skin']
else
---------------------------------------------Data store is working, but no current data for this player------------------------
Shards.Value = 0
Level.Value = 1
Shirt.Value = 1
Pants.Value = 1
Face.Value = 1
Hair.Value = 1
Hat.Value = 1
Skin.Value = 1
end
end
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local function create_table(player)
local player_stats = {}
for _, stat in pairs(player.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
player_stats[stat.Name] = stat.Value
end
return player_stats
end
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local function onPlayerExit(player) --Runs when players exit
local player_stats = create_table(player)
local success, err = pcall(function()
local playerUserId = "Player_" .. player.UserId
playerData:SetAsync(playerUserId, player_stats) --Saves player data
end)
if not success then
warn('Could not save data!')
end
end

You can try saving the Shirt ID, and the accesory asset ID marijus06 68 — 3y

There is this cool little thing here called HumanoidDescription. It can be used to apply hats, limb colors, accessory, clothing, etc. What we could do is save it to the datastore with Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId, and use the player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription(humanoidDescription) to load it in with the humanoid description. Here is ur script:
local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local playerData = dss:GetDataStore("playerData")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local lead = Instance.new("Folder",player)
lead.Name = "leaderstats"
local shards = Instance.new("IntValue",lead)
shards.Name = "Shards"
local level = Instance.new("IntValue",lead)
level.Name = "Level"
local data
local suc, err = pcall(function()
data = http:JSONDecode(playerData:GetAsync(player.UserId))
end)
if suc then
if data then
player.leaderstats.Shards.Value = data.shards
player.leaderstats.Level.Value = data.level
player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription(data.humDescription) -- load it with the description
else
player.leaderstats.Shards.Value = 0 -- ur default value
player.leaderstats.Level.Value = 0 -- same here
end
else
warn(err)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local data = {
shards = player.leaderstats.Shards.Value,
level = player.leaderstats.Level.Value,
humDescription = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId) -- save the description
}
playerData:SetAsync(http:JSONEncode(data))
end)
Hope you understood it!
