How can I use data stores correctly?
01 | local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("mnaj22 level") |
02 |
03 |
04 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
05 | wait() |
06 |
07 | Level = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Value |
08 |
09 | local key = "player-" ..player.userId |
10 |
11 | local savedValues = DataStore:GetAsync(key) |
12 |
13 | if savedValues then |
14 | Level.value = savedValues(1) |
15 | else |
16 | local valuesToSave = (Level) |
17 | DataStore:SetAsync(key, valuesToSave) |
18 | end |
19 | end) |

I'm not well-versed with data stores as yet, so I know I'm not the most qualified to answer this question -- but no one else is doing so. From looking at it (and checking the wiki a bit), it doesn't look as if your problem is in using the storage itself, but that you're setting your 'Level.value' to 'savedValues(1)' rather than just 'savedValues'. Not sure if I'm just misreading it.

Yes, the parenthesis indicate he's trying to call a function from a number, that would break the script each time. He'll need to remove the (1). M39a9am3R 3210 — 9y

Few syntax mistakes. When you want to access a member of a table, use square brackets [] not parentheses ().
