Cannot store Array in DataStore?

I was searching around for this error, found another answer on scriptinghelpers, but the fix the guy gave didn't work for me. I get the error 17:48:16.066 - Cannot store Array in DataStore 17:48:16.067 - Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 49 17:48:16.068 - Stack End" Note: That is not the actual data store name..

local DSService = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore("Name") 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	local uniquekey = 'id-'..plr.userId
	local leaderstats = Instance.new('IntValue', plr)
	local savevalue =  Instance.new('IntValue')
	local SaveFolder = Instance.new('Folder')
	local SaveStone = Instance.new('IntValue')
	local SaveClay = Instance.new('IntValue')
	local SaveBrick = Instance.new('IntValue')
	local SaveRawIron = Instance.new('IntValue')
	local SaveIron = Instance.new('IntValue')
	leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'
	savevalue.Parent = leaderstats
	savevalue.Name = 'Cash'
	SaveFolder.Name = "SaveFolder"
	SaveFolder.Parent = plr
	SaveStone.Name = "SaveStone"
	SaveStone.Parent = SaveFolder
	SaveClay.Name = "SaveClay"
	SaveClay.Parent = SaveFolder
	SaveBrick.Name = "SaveBrick"
	SaveBrick.Parent = SaveFolder
	SaveRawIron.Name = "SaveRawIron"
	SaveRawIron.Parent = SaveFolder
	SaveIron.Name = "SaveIron"
	SaveIron.Parent = SaveFolder
	local GetSaved = DSService:GetAsync(uniquekey)
	if GetSaved then
		savevalue.Value = GetSaved[1]
		SaveFolder = GetSaved[2]
		SaveStone.Value = GetSaved[3]
		SaveClay.Value = GetSaved[4]
		SaveBrick.Value = GetSaved[5]
		SaveRawIron.Value = GetSaved[6]
		SaveIron.Value = GetSaved[7]
	plr.PlayerGui.Invintory.Inv.Stone.Text = "Stone: "..SaveStone.Value
	plr.PlayerGui.Invintory.Inv.Clay.Text = "Stone: "..SaveClay.Value
	plr.PlayerGui.Invintory.Inv.Bricks.Text = "Stone: "..SaveBrick.Value
	plr.PlayerGui.Invintory.Inv.RawIron.Text = "Stone: "..SaveRawIron.Value
	plr.PlayerGui.Invintory.Inv.Iron.Text = "Stone: "..SaveIron.Value
	else
		local NumbersForSaving = {savevalue.Value,
								  SaveFolder,
								  SaveStone.Value,
								  SaveClay.Value,
								  SaveBrick.Value,
								  SaveRawIron.Value,
								  SaveIron.Value}
		DSService:SetAsync(uniquekey, NumbersForSaving)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr)
local uniquekey = 'id-'..plr.userId
local Savetable = {plr.leaderstats.Cash.Value,
				   plr.SaveFolder,
				   plr.SaveFolder.SaveStone.Value,
				   plr.SaveFolder.SaveClay.Value,
				   plr.SaveFolder.SaveBrick.Value,
				   plr.SaveFolder.SaveRawIron.Value,
				   plr.SaveFolder.SaveIron.Value}
DSService:SetAsync(uniquekey, Savetable)
end)

You can only have one (1) type of statistic stored in a table in a datastore...

plr.SaveFolder cannot be saved, because it is not the same type of object as plr.SaveFolder.SaveStone.Value

Solution?

JSONEncoding, and JSONDecoding...

To do JSONEncoding:

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/HttpService/JSONEncode

Why is this useful? You can convert data into Strings.

But how do I do this? First, you must access the HttpService, this does not mean HttpService needs to be enabled though:

HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")

Now, you will give the table you want to encode:

local atable = {"A","B","a","b"}

Since you have this, you can now begin to encode it...

local encoding = HttpService:JSONEncode(atable)
print(encoding)

Now, you have a string.

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/HttpService/JSONDecode

When retrieving the data given to the datastore, you must now decode the encoding... You can go about this by using the JSONDecode("AString") event...

local decoding = HttpService:JSONDecode(encoding)

Now you have a table... hooray.

As for your script, now that I have explained this... will go as follows:

HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService") -- Put this at the start of the script.

local EncodedTable = DSService:GetAsync(uniquekey)
local DecodedTable
if EncodedTable then
	DecodedTable = EncodedTable:JSONDecode(EncodedTable)
end
if DecodedTable ~= nil then
	savevalue.Value = DecodedTable[1]
	SaveFolder = DecodedTable[2]
	SaveStone.Value = DecodedTable[3]
	SaveClay.Value = DecodedTable[4]
	SaveBrick.Value = DecodedTable[5]
	SaveRawIron.Value = DecodedTable[6]
	SaveIron.Value = DecodedTable[7]
	plr.PlayerGui.Invintory.Inv.Stone.Text = "Stone: "..SaveStone.Value
	plr.PlayerGui.Invintory.Inv.Clay.Text = "Stone: "..SaveClay.Value
	plr.PlayerGui.Invintory.Inv.Bricks.Text = "Stone: "..SaveBrick.Value
	plr.PlayerGui.Invintory.Inv.RawIron.Text = "Stone: "..SaveRawIron.Value
	plr.PlayerGui.Invintory.Inv.Iron.Text = "Stone: "..SaveIron.Value
else
	local NumbersForSaving = {
		savevalue.Value,
		SaveFolder,
		SaveStone.Value,
		SaveClay.Value,
		SaveBrick.Value,
		SaveRawIron.Value,
		SaveIron.Value}
	local EnocdedNFS = HttpService:JSONEncode(NumbersForSaving)
	DSService:SetAsync(uniquekey,EncodedNFS)
end

That's for the PlayerAdded, for the PlayerRemoving:

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr)
local uniquekey = 'id-'..plr.userId
local Savetable = {plr.leaderstats.Cash.Value,
                   plr.SaveFolder,
                   plr.SaveFolder.SaveStone.Value,
                   plr.SaveFolder.SaveClay.Value,
                   plr.SaveFolder.SaveBrick.Value,
                   plr.SaveFolder.SaveRawIron.Value,
                   plr.SaveFolder.SaveIron.Value}
local EncodedSt = HttpService:JSONEncode(Savetable)
DSService:SetAsync(uniquekey, EncodedSt)
end)

This should do it for you... There could be errors, it was done in the Tab for this.
