Why does this value not save [DataStore]?
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local grandopeningkitsds = DataStore:GetDataStore("GrandOpeningKits")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local stats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
stats.Name = "stats" -- creates a leaderboard
local statsloaded = Instance.new("BoolValue")
statsloaded.Parent = player.stats
statsloaded.Name = "StatsLoaded"
-- CREATES GRAND-OPENING-KITS VALUE --
local grandopeningkits = Instance.new("NumberValue")
grandopeningkits.Parent = player.stats
grandopeningkits.Name = "GrandOpeningKits" -- creates a leaderstat value
grandopeningkits.Value = grandopeningkitsds:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0 -- gets past value
grandopeningkitsds:SetAsync(player.UserId,grandopeningkits.Value) -- sets a new value
local grandopeningkitnum = grandopeningkits.Value
-- SETS STATSLOADED VALUE TO TRUE --
statsloaded.Value = true
-- LEAVE BACKUP SAVE --
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
print("Saving Data for user "..player.UserId)
grandopeningkitsds:SetAsync(player.UserId,player.stats.GrandOpeningKits.Value)
print(player.UserId.."'s Data has been saved successfully.")
if error then
print("DATA ERROR: "..player.UserId.."'s Data has been saved unsuccessfully")
end
end)
end)
I use a similar script on another game and it works fine. Anybody know whats going on?

If you're just going off of "if error then" It should save. You never defined error so "error" is always the error function. Otherwise can you post an error? Or is there no errors. fireboltofdeathalt 118 — 7y

Perhaps you need to save the value rather than the Value Object. (i.e, line 27 add a .Value to the end of GrandOpeningKit) Async_io 908 — 5y

Hello. I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, but here's the code I have created. (cloned and edited)
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local grandopeningkitsds = DataStore:GetDataStore("GrandOpeningKits")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local stats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
stats.Name = "stats" -- creates a leaderboard
local statsloaded = Instance.new("BoolValue")
statsloaded.Parent = player.stats
statsloaded.Name = "StatsLoaded"
statsloaded.Value = false
-- CREATES GRAND-OPENING-KITS VALUE --
local grandopeningkits = Instance.new("NumberValue")
repeat wait() print('Waiting for stats folder..') until player.stats
grandopeningkits.Parent = player.stats
grandopeningkits.Name = "GrandOpeningKits" -- creates a leaderstat value
local amt = grandopeningkitsds:GetAsync(player.UserId)
if amt == nil then amt = 0 end
grandopeningkits.Value = amt
-- SETS STATSLOADED VALUE TO TRUE --
statsloaded.Value = true
-- LEAVE BACKUP SAVE -- Bad idea. It will cause Datastore limit errors to break the script.
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
print("Saving Data for user "..player.UserId)
if player.stats.StatsLoaded.Value == true then
local success, err = ypcall(function()
grandopeningkitsds:SetAsync(player.UserId,player.stats.GrandOpeningKits.Value)
end)
if success == true then
print(player.UserId.."'s Data has been saved successfully.")
else print(player.UserId.."'s Data has been saved unsuccessfully.")
end
else
print(player.UserId.."'s Data has been saved unsuccessfully. Had not loaded.")
end
end)
