DataStore That Saves Hats Does Not Work?
I have a folder located within the player where it is used to store hats the player gets. I made this script and put it into workspace (also tried ServerScriptStorage) both didn't work. The script is a regular script...
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds = DataStore:GetDataStore("HatSave")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local hats = player:WaitForChild("Hats"):GetChildren()
for _, child in pairs(hats) do
child.Parent = ds:GetAsync(player.UserId)
ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, child.Parent)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local hats = player.Hats:GetChildren()
for _, child in pairs(hats) do
ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, child.Parent)
end
end)
I don't know how efficient this method is, but feedback is always good

You can't save Instances, you can only save Strings, Numbers, and Booleans. RubenKan 3615 — 6y

Your method is inefficient. What you could do is make an array, put all the hats in the array, then make the DataStoreService save the data.
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds = DataStore:GetDataStore("HatSave")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
--We'll just print the hats saved
local data = dss:GetAsync(player.UserId) or {}
for _,v in pairs(data) do
print(v.Name)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local hatschildren = player:WaitForChild('Hats'):GetChildren()
local hats = {}
for _,v in pairs(hatschildren) do
hats[#hats+1] = v.Name
end
-- Your error handler
local success,message = pcall(function()
ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, hats)
end)
if success then
print("Successfully saved "..player.Name.."'s data")
else
warn("Failed to save "..player.Name.."'s data. :"..message)
end
end)
If there's any errors, please mention
