How do I save the player color at the click of one button and load it at the click of another?

Asked 41 views1 answers

I want to be able to click a save button ingame, which saves the player's body color, and have a continue button, which (after a player dies and the continue button is clicked) loads the player's color.

Currently, I'm trying to use a table to do so, but that returns nil when continue is pressed. The script is a LocalScript under PlayerGui.

The script:

-- [[ Player ]] --
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character
player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0

-- [[ Title Camera ]] --
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local CameraLocation1 = Vector3.new(-22.5, 35.5, -58.5)
local CameraDirection1 = Vector3.new(-8, 4.5, -92)
local titlecam = true

cam.CameraType = "Scriptable"
game["Run Service"].RenderStepped:connect(function()
     if titlecam == true then
    cam.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(CameraLocation1,CameraDirection1)
    end
end)

titleframe.Style = "RobloxRound"

titlebutton.Position = UDim2.new(0.4, 0, 0.30, 0)

titlebutton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(144, 0, 0)

I was going to add the output as well, but it exceeded 10,000 characters.

Also, as far as I've been able to tell with printing, the saving isn't the problem. The characterData value doesn't load back in after reset. Do all of the variables reset when the player does?

Well tables don't save so you would have to make a model that holds all variables you want to save, in the model it will be safe from reload until the player actually quits the game. In the model you can have defaults and stuff. And then on continue just make it reference the model.
