Cannot store Array in DataStore?
I am trying to save a table of values to a datastore but It says its an array even though they are all values.
local PSavedData = PrimaryDataStore:GetAsync(id)
if PSavedData then
PTransparency.Value = PSavedData[1]
PLocalColor.Value = PSavedData[2]
PMeshId.Value = PSavedData[3]
PMeshTextureId.Value = PSavedData[4]
PPETextureId.Value = PSavedData[5]
PSpread.Value = PSavedData[6]
PPELocked.Value = PSavedData[7]
else
local PDataForSaving = {
PTransparency.Value,
PLocalColor.Value,
PMeshId.Value,
PMeshTextureId.Value,
PPETextureId.Value,
PSpread.Value,
PPELocked.Value
}
PrimaryDataStore:SetAsync(id, PDataForSaving)
end

Color3 values cannot be saved. You need to save each part of a Color3 separately. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 5y

Color3 values cannot be saved via datastore in its original format. In order to get around this problem, we can store each variable of the Color3 value into a table. Once we've done this, we can save this value using JSONEncode that allows us to convert the table into a string in a format where DataStore can save it (JSON: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/JSON. Use this as an example.
local NewTable = {PARTNAME.Color.r,PARTNAME.Color.g,PARTNAME.b}
local JSONTable = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONEncode(NewTable)
PrimaryDataStore:SetAsync(id, JSONTable)
--In order to load the color we saved we can do something like this--
local ColorTable = PrimaryDataStore:GetAsync(id)
local DecodedTable = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONDecode(Color3Table)
local ColorValue = Color3.new(DecodedTable[1],DecodedTable[2],DecodedTable[3])
