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..
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("HelpMePlease")
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
local key = "player-"..player.userId
for _, v in pairs(player.HiddenStats.ItemPos:GetChildren()) do
print("Saving")
valuesToSave = {player.HiddenStats["Item Data Store Name"].Value, v.Value} -- I cannot make this local, It has to be global
print(valuesToSave)
end
DataStore:SetAsync(key, valuesToSave)
end
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.
local function serializeVector3(vector3)
return {vector3.x,vector3.y,vector3.z}
end
local function deserealizeVector3(serealizedvector3)
return Vector3.new(unpack(serealizedvector3)
end
--example
local vector3 = Vector3.new(1,2,3)
local vector3holder = serialize(vector3)
local unpackvector3 = deserealize(vector3holder)
print(unpackvector3) -- Vector3.new(1,2,3)
print(vector3holder) -- table: 2F9381DC
--saving
for i,v in next,DataStore do
DataStore["Vector3Value"] = unpackvector3
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.
