Hi,
I'm trying to save the value of an IntValue that's a descendant of a Player, but it doesn't seems to work.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
print('1')
p:WaitForDataReady()
print('2')
p.PrisonTime.Changed:connect(function()
print('3')
while wait(1) do
print('4')
p:SaveNumber("PrisonTime", p.PrisonTime.Value)
print("saved")
end
end)
end)
It doesn't print 'saved'. Any tips?
WaitForDataReady() actually pauses execution until data is ready. While it returns a boolean, I'm not really sure if that signifies anything in particular.
Try instead
player:WaitForDataReady()
while wait(1) do
p:SaveNumber("PrisonTime", p.PrisonTime.Value)
print("saved")
end
Also note that data is never ready unless you are testing on a server (I think it has to be an actual game server, and not a test server, though I'm not sure).
Alternatively, use the boolean DataReady instead of this method, and continue with your if (though I think the approach with :WaitForDataReady() is much cleaner)
Try just removing the while wait() do block, and just leave the if statement. The WaitForDataReady yields the script anyway.
I'm trying to have it so it frequently updates it. Preferably every second.

Attempted your fix, updated script as shown above. Never reaches the second print.
Are you testing on an actual ROBLOX game server, and also receiving no errors?
Oh, no. Let me test it out now.
I just tested, worked flawlessly. Thank you so much.
