Datastore script wont save data?

Asked by

I've been working on this for like 5 days and can't figure it out because I have tiny brain. I've asked for help here multiple times but no matter what I do it won't work. I know the saving won't work because the data loading works completely fine.

Here's the code I have:

local PlayersService = game:GetService("Players")
local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local boolDataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("BoolDataStore")

PlayersService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) 

    local onMenu = Instance.new("BoolValue") 
    onMenu.Name = "onMenu" 
    onMenu.Parent = player 

    local onMenuData = nil 

    pcall(function() 
        onMenuData = boolDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-onMenu") 
    end)

    if onMenuData ~= nil then 

        onMenu.Value = onMenuData 
    else
        onMenu.Value = true 
    end

end)

local bindableEvent = Instance.new("BindableEvent") 

PlayersService.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) 

    pcall(function() 
        boolDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-onMenu", player.onMenu.Value) 
    end)

    bindableEvent:Fire() 
    print("Saved!") 

end)

game:BindToClose(function() 
    while #PlayersService:GetPlayers() > 0 do 
        bindableEvent.Event:Wait() 
        wait() 
    end
end)

Could you try printing the success and error message returned from the pcall? (local success, errorMessage = pcall(...) 7z99 203 — 1y

^Also you aren't ever calling the save function inside of your game:BindToClose function. 7z99 203 — 1y

Hello! Here is what you need to do:

-- Written by MattVSNNL

local PlayersService = game:GetService("Players")
local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local boolDataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("BoolDataStore")

PlayersService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) 

    local onMenu = Instance.new("BoolValue") 
    onMenu.Name = "onMenu" 
    onMenu.Parent = player 

   onMenu.Changed:Connect(function()
        boolDataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, onMenu.Value)
    end)

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    ds:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats.onMenu.Value) 
end)

Also make sure that "Enable Studio Access to API Services" is enabled in your game.

I'm not 100% sure if it's going to work, but if it does not, I'm here to help!

Make sure "Enable Studio Access to API Services" is enabled in your game settings.
