IntValues are 0 even if I gave them other values?
Hello! I'm using a folder with values. They are going to be stored in the database after, but I have a problem. Even tho I set the values to 1 when I define them, if I run the game and look in explorer, their value is 0. This is what I tried:
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataScore")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local ab_folder = Instance.new("Folder")
ab_folder.Name = "abilities"
ab_folder.Parent = player
local points_lvl = Instance.new("IntValue")
points_lvl.Name = "pointsbonus"
**points_lvl.Value = 1**
points_lvl.Parent = ab_folder
local health_lvl = Instance.new("IntValue")
health_lvl.Name = "health"
**health_lvl.Value = 1**
health_lvl.Parent = ab_folder
local agility_lvl = Instance.new("IntValue")
agility_lvl.Name = "agility"
**agility_lvl.Value = 1**
agility_lvl.Parent = ab_folder
local saved_points_level
local saved_health_level
local saved_agility_level
local succes, errormessage = pcall(function()
saved_points_level = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-points_lvl")
saved_health_level = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-health_lvl")
saved_agility_level = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-agility_lvl")
end)
if succes then
points_lvl.Value = saved_points_level
health_lvl.Value = saved_health_level
agility_lvl.Value = saved_agility_level
else
print("There was an error whilst getting your data")
end
end)

Make sure you save the data the player is achieving. DataStoreService will only work on a real server, not Roblox Studio.
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
local UserId = Player.UserId
local Functions = {
function()
return myDataStore:SetAsync(UserId .. "-points_lvl", Player["abilities"]["pointsbonus"].Value)
end,
function()
return myDataStore:SetAsync(UserId .. "-health-lvl", Player["abilities"]["health"].Value)
end,
function()
return myDataStore:SetAsync(UserId .. "-agility_lvl", Player["abilities"]["agility"].Value)
end,
}
for index, value in pairs(Functions) do
local success, response = pcall(value)
if not response then warn("saving error: " .. tostring(response)) continue end
end
end)

you need to see if theres data. when theres no data saved, i think it will auto change to 0. right now you only have 'if succes then' and just change the values to the data which you dont have.

I tried but it still didn't work. Even if it doesn't save from Studio, they have values since I declared them, nothing should change them.
