Autosave script (stat saving script)?

Asked 660 views2 answers

I am making a stat saving script but it just says ServerScriptService.Script:38: Expected ')' (to close '(' at line 34), got 'end' when i test the game... I turned on HTTP and API... Heres the script:

**game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)

local StartingMoney = (0)

-------------------------------------------------------- 

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

local money = Instance.new("NumberValue")
sticks.Name = "Sticks"
sticks.Parent = leaderstats
sticks.Value = StartingSticks

local dataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("SticksData")

starterSticks = 0--This is the starter money

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = plr

local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
sticks.Name = "Sticks" --Put ur currency name here, mine is Money
sticks.Value = dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or starterSticks
sticks.Parent = leaderstats

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)

dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats.Sticks.Value)

end**

Howdy!

You're missing a parenthesis at the very bottom of your script. Replace your PlayerRemoving function with what I got below.

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats.Sticks.Value)
end)

You're also missing a "end)" at the end of your PlayerAdded. But before I address that, why do you have a PlayerAdded function INSIDE of a PlayerAdded function? It's a little arbitrary.

I recommend that you just remove the line in the middle of your script that says game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr). It's breaking the script and it's too unnecessary to keep in so there is no reason to fix it. Just remove it.

I removed game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) and tested the game but now it says ServerScriptService.Script:34: Expected 'end' (to close 'function' at line 1), got ; did you forget to close 'function' at line 21?

Heres the script:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)

local StartingMoney = (0)

-------------------------------------------------------- 

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

local money = Instance.new("NumberValue")
sticks.Name = "Sticks"
sticks.Parent = leaderstats
sticks.Value = StartingSticks

local dataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("SticksData")

starterSticks = 0--This is the starter money

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = plr

local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
sticks.Name = "Sticks"
sticks.Value = dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or starterSticks
sticks.Parent = leaderstats
	
	
	
dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats.Sticks.Value)

end)
