I'm having trouble with a Data Store script?

Asked by 8 years ago

I'm pretty new to this, so that's the main reason. Anyway, I have two NumValues inside of the local player's PlayerGui (named Bank and Cash). One is for "Bank" money, and the other is "Cash". I want it so both values save whenever a transaction is made... and if someone has never played before "Cash" defaults to 0, and "Bank" is set to 500. Here's the script:


local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("moneyStore") game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) local playerGuis = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild'playerGUIs' --The GUI the variables are in local cash = playerGuis.ATM.Cash local bank = playerGuis.ATM.Bank local key = "player-"..player.userId --Assigns key to each player local savedMoney = DataStore:GetAsync(key) if savedMoney then --Checks if player has been to game before cash.Value = savedMoney[1] bank.Value = savedMoney[2] else local moneySave = {cash.Value, bank.Value} -- Bank defaults to 500, cash to 0 cash.Value = 0 bank.Value = 500 DataStore:SetAsync(key, moneySave) end cash.Changed:connect(function() --These update the money whenever a transaction is made local moneySave = {cash.Value, bank.Value} DataStore:SetAsync(key, moneySave) end) bank.Changed:connect(function() local moneySave = {cash.Value, bank.Value} DataStore:SetAsync(key, moneySave) end) end)

This doesn't work (it just keeps it at 0 for both values). However, I did test something that sort of gave me a result. I set cash.Value = 0 and bank.Value = 500 right after where I declared the cash and bank variables. That did work. However, it served no purpose because it would just reset to those values every time someone joined.

Data Store doesn't work in studio and build mode, so try going to a server. UltraUnitMode 419 — 8y
