How would I make a Tycoon Saving Progress and Money? [closed]

So I'm making a tycoon game with a bit of scripting experience. I do get that you can use Data Store but I really don't get it. It could be awesome if someone helped me out a bit. I'm using Zednov's Tycoon Kit for this tycoon game. If you need the scripts, just ask me please.

If you use this code, You gotta try it in a real game

Add a script to server script service and call it dataHandler or whatever you want

Here's the code you use:

01-- Adding variables like the data store service, myData store is your data store, Players left is to detect if there's amount of players to detect when the server can shutdown
02local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
03local myDataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("RobloxDataStore")
04local playersLeft = 0
05 
06game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
07 
08    -- every time a player joins it add 1 more to the players left
09 
10    playersLeft = playersLeft + 1
11 
12    -- Adding money to the play
13    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
14    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
15    leaderstats.Parent = player
16 
17    local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
18    money.Name = "Money"
19    money.Value = 0
20    money.Parent = leaderstats
21 
22    -- This adds data into the player data with userid
23 
24    local PlayerUserId = player.UserId
25 
26    -- Making a blank variable to store data
27 
28    local player_data
29 
30    -- Checks if it's successful or else you get an error message
31    -- Makes a pcall so if there's an error it won't break the script
32 
33    local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
34 
35        -- Sets player_data as players userid in your datastore
36 
37        player_data = myDataStore:GetAsync(PlayerUserId)
38    end)
39 
40    -- If it's successful then the money will be what we saved
41 
42    if success then
43        money.Value = player_data.Money
44    end
45end)
46 
47-- Makes a bindable event, Used to tell the script to do something when the game is shutting down
48 
49local bindableEvent = Instance.new("BindableEvent")
50 
51-- Fires what a player leaves the game
52 
53game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
54 
55    -- Gets the userid again
56 
57    local playerUserId = player.UserId
58 
59    -- The player_data you can save money is your money value
60 
61    local player_data = {
62        Money = player.leaderstats.Money.Value
63    }
64 
65    -- When a player leaves it will set your money to money in player data at the amount of money you have
66 
67    local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
68        myDataStore:SetAsync(playerUserId, player_data)
69 
70        -- Removes from players left
71 
72        playersLeft = playersLeft - 1
73 
74        -- Fires the bindable event
75 
76        bindableEvent:Fire()
77    end)
78 
79    -- If it was successful then it prints saved to tell you that it was successful else it tells you what the problem is
80 
81    if success then
82        print("Saved!")
83    else
84        warn(errorMessage)
85    end
86end)
87 
88-- If the players left is above 0 then the server is gonna wait until everyone's data was saved and then it can shut down
89 
90if playersLeft > 0 then
91    bindableEvent.Event:Wait()
92end

All right, I will try it out and see if it works. Thank you so much. SynnDC 8 — 4y

So, I tried it out and all it does is make a new leaderstat from the one I already have. SynnDC 8 — 4y

Yes I did that but is there any way I can make it save money and save the tycoon? Not just adding a different value to the leaderboard. SynnDC 8 — 4y

If you want to save the tycoon, that would require saving a model to the datastore,,, i found this link, but it looks complicated: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-i-can-make-a-model-data-store/225105 . I am no expert but if you are making a regular tycoon where the player has to buy stuff and add it, maybe you can save what the player has bought so when they rejoin it has the info Omq_ItzJasmin 666 — 4y
