Data store not saving information because it is a vector 3 value??
Lately, I have been working on a game. It has to save an objects position like one in miners haven... I am making Instances and turning them into Vector 3 Values to save them and so far it is giving me an error saying "Cannot Store Array In DataStore" Can someone help me?
script error..
01 | local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("HelpMePlease") |
02 |
03 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player) |
04 | local key = "player-"..player.userId |
05 | for _, v in pairs(player.HiddenStats.ItemPos:GetChildren()) do |
06 | print("Saving") |
07 | valuesToSave = {player.HiddenStats["Item Data Store Name"].Value, v.Value} -- I cannot make this local, It has to be global |
08 | print(valuesToSave) |
09 | end |
10 | DataStore:SetAsync(key, valuesToSave) |
11 | end |
12 | end) |
the data store error is the DataStore:SetAsync(key, valuesToSave) although it should save.. API is on.
Thanks for any help

So in order to save a Vector3 value you'll have to save it as a table.
01 | local function serializeVector3(vector3) |
02 | return {vector3.x,vector3.y,vector3.z} |
03 | end |
04 | local function deserealizeVector3(serealizedvector3) |
05 | return Vector3.new(unpack(serealizedvector3) |
06 | end |
07 | --example |
08 | local vector3 = Vector3.new(1,2,3) |
09 |
10 | local vector3holder = serialize(vector3) |
11 |
12 | local unpackvector3 = deserealize(vector3holder) |
13 | print(unpackvector3) -- Vector3.new(1,2,3) |
14 | print(vector3holder) -- table: 2F9381DC |
15 |
16 | --saving |
17 | for i,v in next,DataStore do |
18 | DataStore["Vector3Value"] = unpackvector3 |
19 | end |
You can do this with any Vector3/Color3/ value. --Credits go to. https://scriptinghelpers.org/questions/51612/how-to-save-a-color3-value

Answer by Radstar1 works, but you can also use the tostring() function and some simple interpolation to translate the text into a vector3 value.
