How can i make something save until the player joins back?
I'm trying to create a currency system where it gives you the amount of coins you entered + your existing ones, so say i put in like 54 the textlabel's text would do 0+54 and read 54 but then when you leave and re-join its back to 0
the ammount you have is put in is:
game.starterGui.SquidCoins.Frame.TextLabel.Text
where you put how many coins you want is in:
game.starterGui.SquidCoins.TextBox.Text

For this you need to use Datastores. Put this in a normal script in ServerScriptService:
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local experienceStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("SquidCoins")
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr) --When a player is leaving
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
experienceStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.PlayerGui.SquidCoins.Frame.TextLabel.Text)
end)
--It saves data when a player is leaving
if not success then
print(errorMessage)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) --When a player joins
local success, currentExperience = pcall(function()
return experienceStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
end)
--it loads saved data when player joins again
if success then
plr.PlayerGui.SquidCoins.Frame.TextLabel.Text = currentExperience
end
end)
