Data Stores problem?

Asked 312 views1 answers

I originally took this to ROBLOX's SH but no-one's suggestions seemed to help.

What I am trying to do is create a player level which currently increments when you click script.Parent, a brick with a ClickDetector.

Also, it works in Solo Mode. Nothing else.

local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("PlayerLevel")

wait(10)--Too lazy to check for character properly 

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(plr)	
	local key = "user_"..plr.userId
	local gui = plr.PlayerGui.MainUI.plrLevelGui.PlrLvlNum
	datastore:IncrementAsync(key, 1)
	gui.Text = datastore:GetAsync(key)
end)

Are you getting any kind of output?

Don't get lazy when coding. The more lines you have and the more things you check for then the more efficient and unbreakable your code is.

Here's how the wiki demonstrates use of IncrementAsync.

local number = DataStore:IncrementAsync(key, 1)

That would increase the DataStore's value by one, and also return the value of the new value, since GetAsync doesn't yield immediately after IncrementAsync is used. Here's a fixed version of your script:

local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("PlayerLevel")

wait(10)

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(plr)
local key = "user_"..plr.userId
local gui = plr.PlayerGui.MainUI.plrLevelGui.PlrLvlNum
local newValue = datastore:IncrementAsync(key, 1)
gui.Text = tostring(newValue)
end)

This was taken from the wiki and edited to fit your needs. If there's any problems, comment. If this works, upvote!
