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.
01 | local PSavedData = PrimaryDataStore:GetAsync(id) |
02 | if PSavedData then |
03 | PTransparency.Value = PSavedData[1] |
04 | PLocalColor.Value = PSavedData[2] |
05 | PMeshId.Value = PSavedData[3] |
06 | PMeshTextureId.Value = PSavedData[4] |
07 | PPETextureId.Value = PSavedData[5] |
08 | PSpread.Value = PSavedData[6] |
09 | PPELocked.Value = PSavedData[7] |
10 | else |
11 | local PDataForSaving = { |
12 | PTransparency.Value, |
13 | PLocalColor.Value, |
14 | PMeshId.Value, |
15 | PMeshTextureId.Value, |

Color3 values cannot be saved. You need to save each part of a Color3 separately. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

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.
1 | local NewTable = {PARTNAME.Color.r,PARTNAME.Color.g,PARTNAME.b} |
2 | local JSONTable = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONEncode(NewTable) |
3 | PrimaryDataStore:SetAsync(id, JSONTable) |
4 | --In order to load the color we saved we can do something like this-- |
5 | local ColorTable = PrimaryDataStore:GetAsync(id) |
6 | local DecodedTable = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONDecode(Color3Table) |
7 | local ColorValue = Color3.new(DecodedTable[1],DecodedTable[2],DecodedTable[3]) |
