How would I save/load my textbutton?

Asked by 8 years ago
Edited 8 years ago

I've tried getting the arguments right in the methods :GetAsync() and :SetAsync() but nothing new happens like it doesn't save. I don't know if my arguments are wrong or what, no error occurs either. Any help?

-----Saving
    game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr)
local Data=game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local button=workspace.PartTwo:FindFirstChild("SurfaceGui").Frame:WaitForChild("Button")
-----Name
Data:GetDataStore("SaveApplication")
-----Save
    while wait(3) do
Data:SetAsync("Keysave",button)
    end
end)
------Loading
    game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
local Data=game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local button=workspace.PartTwo:FindFirstChild("SurfaceGui").Frame:WaitForChild("Button")
-----Name
Data:GetDataStore("SaveApplication")
-----Save
Data:GetAsync("Keysave",button)
    end)

You cannot save instances directly to ROBLOX DataStores. However, you can save the parameters of the TextButton.

For example, the position and text. An example of saving text, is

Data:SetAsync("Keysave", button.Text)

When a player joins another server, you can have the script create the TextButton and apply the DataStore's values.
