[Data store] Only some of the stats loading?

Asked by 8 years ago

Brief Summary

I'm working on a data store for saved outfits after the player customizes their character. Once they select the article of clothing, it saves the shirt/pants ID in a StringValue inside the Player. When the player returns, the shirt they previously saved loads properly, but the pants do not.

Scripts

Here's a snippet of the script from the button they press to select the shirt/pants (basically same for both):

local shirt = game.ReplicatedStorage.Customizer.Male.Shirt.GoldTee.Value
game.Players.LocalPlayer.clothes.Shirt.Value = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id="..shirt

The script above seems to work fine, but I figured it might help to get a better understanding.

Here's a snippet of the script designed for loading the outfit:

local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(player.Name.."outfit")
player:WaitForChild("clothes")
wait(1)
local stats = player:FindFirstChild("clothes"):GetChildren()
for i = 1, #stats do            
stats[i].Value = datastore:GetAsync(stats[i].Name) or "was nil" -- I imagine this is where problem lies
print("stat "..i.." has been found")

Snippet of script for saving the outfit:

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
    local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(player.Name.."outfit")

local statstorage = player:FindFirstChild("clothes"):GetChildren()
for i =  1, #statstorage do
    datastore:SetAsync(statstorage[i].Name, statstorage[i].Value)
    print("saved "..i)

end 
end)

Extra Information

The "clothes" is the name of the IntValue that contains the Shirt & Pants StringValues. I added "was nil" since it's a StringValue and now the Pants.Value reads, "was nil". I'm sure I am overlooking something simple/doing something stupid, but I'm not good with DataStores. If you could throw out some ideas or point out my mistake, I'd greatly appreciate it!
