Asked 297 views1 answers

Hello. I am trying to make a game where you just sit and get lazyness and stuff. but my leaderstats wont work. can someone tell me why?

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds1 = ds:GetDataStore("Lazyness")
local ds2 = ds:GetDataStore("LPS")

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

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

	local Lazyness = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
	Lazyness.Name = "Lazyness"

	local LPS = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
	LPS.Name = "LPS"

	Lazyness.Value = ds1:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
	ds1:GetAsync(player.UserId, Lazyness.Value)

	LPS.Value = ds2:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 1
	ds2:GetAsync(player.UserId, LPS.Value)
	
end)

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

	local Lazyness = player.leaderstats.Lazyness
	local LPS = player.leaderstats.LPS

	ds1:GetAsync(player.UserId, Lazyness.Value)

	ds2:GetAsync(player.UserId, LPS.Value)
end)

you never setted the value in synchronization. all you did was GetASync and didnt finish it with SetASync.

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds1 = ds:GetDataStore("Lazyness")
local ds2 = ds:GetDataStore("LPS")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local folder = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	folder.Name = "leaderstats"

	local Lazyness = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
	Lazyness.Name = "Lazyness"

	local LPS = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
	LPS.Name = "LPS"
	
	local userid = "Player_"..player.UserId
	
	local LPSData
	local LazynessData
	local Success, Error = pcall(function()
		LazynessData = ds1:GetAsync(userid)
		LPSData = ds2:GetAsync(userid)
	end)
	
	if Success then
		Lazyness.Value = LazynessData
		LPS.Value = LPSData
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local userid = "Player_"..player.UserId
	
	local Lazyness = player.leaderstats.Lazyness.Value
	local LPS = player.leaderstats.LPS.Value
	
	local Success, ErrorMessage = pcall(function()
		ds1:SetAsync(userid, Lazyness)
		ds2:SetAsync(userid, LPS)
	end)
	
	if Success then
		print("Successfully saved data for: "..player.Name)
	else
		warn("Could not save data for: "..player.Name)
		wait(2)
		error(ErrorMessage)
	end
end)

You can't just get the players name in synchronization and not set it after the player got removed.
