DataStore not working?

Asked by

Alright, so I have been making a game recently and need to try to save a stat called BankedMoney located under the Player it is not in a leaderboard* it's a GUI. here is the code that I am trying to use if you could look over it and tell me where I went wrong that would be great!

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("gameowner")

print("Money Leaderboard Working")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    local Money = Instance.new("IntValue")
    Money.Name = "Money"
    Money.Parent = player

    local BankedMoney = Instance.new("IntValue")
    BankedMoney.Name = "BankedMoney"
    BankedMoney.Parent = player

    local Key = "player-"..player.userid

    local savedvalues = DataStore:getasync(Key) 

    if savedvalues then
        BankedMoney.Value = savedvalues[1]
      else
        local valuestosave = {BankedMoney.value}
        DataStore:setasync(Key, valuestosave)
    end

end)

I also have a player leaving script for the DataStore

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("gameowner")

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)

local Key = "player-"..player.userid

local valuestosave = {player.BankedMoney.Value}
DataStore:setasync(Key, valuestosave)

end)

The problem with your code is userid should be UserId Enter:

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("gameowner")

print("Money Leaderboard Working")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    local Money = Instance.new("IntValue")
    Money.Name = "Money"
    Money.Parent = player

    local BankedMoney = Instance.new("IntValue")
    BankedMoney.Name = "BankedMoney"
    BankedMoney.Parent = player

    local Key = "player-"..player.UserId

    local savedvalues = DataStore:getasync(Key) 

    if savedvalues then
        BankedMoney.Value = savedvalues[1]
      else
        local valuestosave = {BankedMoney.value}
        DataStore:setasync(Key, valuestosave)
    end

end)

Leaving:

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("gameowner")

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)

local Key = "player-"..player.UserId

local valuestosave = {player.BankedMoney.Value}
DataStore:setasync(Key, valuestosave)

end)

In my opinion, I think there are some capitalization problems. Like try typing :GetAsync() instead of :getasync() since it would be read as one word, and GetAsync are two separate words.

Here! I fixed the capital issues for you.

Main Script:

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("gameowner")

print("Money Leaderboard Working")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    local Money = Instance.new("IntValue")
    Money.Name = "Money"
    Money.Parent = player

    local BankedMoney = Instance.new("IntValue")
    BankedMoney.Name = "BankedMoney"
    BankedMoney.Parent = player

    local Key = "player-"..player.UserId

    local savedvalues = DataStore:GetAsync(Key)  -- Changed.

    if savedvalues then
        BankedMoney.Value = savedvalues[1]
      else
        local valuestosave = {BankedMoney.value}
        DataStore:SetAsync(Key, valuestosave) -- Changed.
    end

end)

Leaving Script:

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("gameowner")

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)

local Key = "player-"..player.UserId

local valuestosave = {player.BankedMoney.Value}
DataStore:SetAsync(Key, valuestosave) -- Changed.

end)

Next time, NEVER forget to separate words using capital letters at the start of each word (without space in scripts, of course)!!!
