Why does leaderstats not show up in my player? (player.leaderstats)
I'm using Datastore 2 and sometimes, when I play, I get an error: "leaderstats is not a valid member of Player "Players.Hoogidy_Boogidy" - Client - DisplayCoinsAmount:4". If you used Datastore 2 before, or watched Alvin Blox's tutorial about it, then you know that you can save data in studio by adding a Boolean Value set to true in ServerStorage. If leaderstats isn't showing up because of that, then please tell me.
I have 2 scripts. The first one is "DisplayCoinsAmount", which is the one that gave the error and the one that displays the amount of coins the player has, in a GUI. The second script is "SaveData", which is the one that creates the Folder, "leaderstats" and saves the coins for the player. I can't get Roblox studio to give me the error again. It only happened twice.
Here is my 2 scripts:
DisplayCoinsAmount:
local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
game:GetService('RunService').RenderStepped:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Text = tostring(plr.leaderstats.Coins.Value)
end)
SaveData:
local DS2 = require(1936396537)
local DefaultValue = 0
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local coinsDS = DS2('Coins', plr)
local leaderstats = Instance.new('Folder', plr)
local coins = Instance.new('IntValue', leaderstats)
leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'
coins.Name = 'Coins'
local function updateCoins(updatedValue)
coins.Value = coinsDS:Get(updatedValue)
end
updateCoins(DefaultValue) -- Idk what these two lines are supposed to do
coinsDS:OnUpdate(updateCoins) -- I just copied Alvin Blox :|
while wait() do
coins.Value = coinsDS:Get()
end
end)
I would appreciate if you would help! Thank you! :D
Edit:
I tried using game.Loaded, but I don't know what that does
Code:
local DS2 = require(1936396537)
local DefaultValue = 0
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local coinsDS = DS2('Coins', plr)
repeat wait() until(game.Loaded)
local leaderstats = Instance.new('Folder', plr)
local coins = Instance.new('NumberValue', leaderstats)
leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'
coins.Name = 'Coins'
local function updateCoins(updatedValue)
coins.Value = coinsDS:Get(updatedValue)
end
updateCoins(DefaultValue)
coinsDS:OnUpdate(updateCoins)
while wait() do
coins.Value = coinsDS:Get()
end
end)

Sorry for the late answer, but this should work!
Problem: It's pretty hard to explain but the reason it didn't work was because the playerevent was declared after the variables, when it should be on top:
(Also ensure that this is in a server script (normal script) I changed your last script!
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local DS2 = require(1936396537)
local DefaultValue = 0
local coinsDS = DS2('Coins', plr)
repeat wait() until(game.Loaded)
local leaderstats = Instance.new('Folder', plr)
local coins = Instance.new('NumberValue', leaderstats)
leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'
coins.Name = 'Coins'
local function updateCoins(updatedValue)
coins.Value = coinsDS:Get(updatedValue)
end
updateCoins(DefaultValue)
coinsDS:OnUpdate(updateCoins)
while wait() do
coins.Value = coinsDS:Get()
end
end)

put wait(3) on line 1 it will wait 3 seconds so it will be loaded and wont make error bcs it will find it. this is script for saving folders. if someone need normal saving for folders :)
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerData")
local function onPlayerJoin(player)
local folder = Instance.new("Folder", player)
folder.Name = "leaderstats"
local money = Instance.new("NumberValue", folder)
money.Name = "Money"
local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
local data = playerData:GetAsync(playerUserId)
if data then
money.Value = data["Money"]
-- here u can add more values from top
else
money.Value = 0
end
end
local function create_table(player)
local player_stats = {}
for _, stat in pairs(player.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
player_stats[stat.Name] = stat.Value
end
return player_stats
end
local function onPlayerExit(player)
local player_stats = create_table(player)
local success, err = pcall(function()
local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
playerData:SetAsync(playerUserId, player_stats)
end)
if not success then
warn("Could not save data")
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerJoin)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(onPlayerExit)
