How do I add another stat datastore save to my stats script?

Asked by 4 years ago

Hello, So I'm making a game and I was wondering how can I add so my kills stat would save. I already added it so I just need the save thingy. The problem is that a guy on here gave me this script and I don't really understand it that much.

My code:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local CashDS = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Cash")
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
    Cash.Name = "Cash"
    Cash.Parent = plr
    Cash.Value = 0

    local Kills = Instance.new("IntValue")
    Kills.Name = "Kills"
    Kills.Parent = plr
    Kills.Value = 0

    local data
    local g, err = pcall(function()
        data = CashDS:GetAsync("cash_"..plr.UserId)
    end)

    if not g then
        warn(err)
    else
        if data ~= nil then
            Cash.Value = data
        end
    end
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
    if RS:IsStudio() then return end
    local plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers()

    for _, plr in pairs(plrs) do
        local data = plr.Cash.Value

        if plr:FindFirstChild("TagValue") then
            data -= 50
        end

        if data then
            local g, err = pcall(function()
                CashDS:UpdateAsync("cash_"..plr.UserId, function(old)
                    local new = old or 0
                    new = data
                    return new
                end)
            end)

            if not g then
                warn(err)
            end   
        end
    end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    local data = plr.Cash.Value

    if plr:FindFirstChild("TagValue") then
        data -= 50
    end

    if data then
        local g, err = pcall(function()
            CashDS:UpdateAsync("cash_"..plr.UserId, function(old)
                local new = old or 0
                new = data
                return new
            end)
        end)

        if not g then
            warn(err)
        end   
    end
end)

These leaderstats are good but there are better ones that use NumberValues as leaderstats, and it's so much easier to add more of them and it goes up to even infinite amounts of leaderstat names! Simply put this script inside of ServerScriptService and put NumberValues inside of it. Make sure the values are named after the leaderstats u want in ur game. Only one of the leaderstats will work inside of Studio, normally they all work, so u should probably make a testing place if u dont have one already. Hope this helped!

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

     local leader = Instance.new("Folder",player)
leader.Name = "leaderstats"

for i,v in pairs(script:GetChildren()) do 
local d = DataStore:GetDataStore(v.Name)
local x = Instance.new("NumberValue",leader)
x.Name = v.Name
x.Value = d:GetAsync(player.UserId) or v.Value



end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    for i,v in pairs(script:GetChildren()) do 
        print("Getting")
        local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
        local d = DataStore:GetDataStore(v.Name)
        d:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats[v.Name].Value)
        print("Saved")
    end
end)
