DataStore not saving? (Filtering Enabled)
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds = DataStore:GetDataStore("hellomynameijks45346345")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
a = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
a.Name = "leaderstats"
Vals = ds:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
print(Vals)
if Vals then
for i, v in pairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.Values:GetChildren()) do
print(v)
Found = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values:FindFirstChild(v.Name)
print("yes")
if Found then
print("Found")
end
end
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr)
Vals = {}
for i, v in pairs(plr.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
print(v.Name)
if v then
table.insert(Vals, v.Name)
end
end
ds:SetAsync(plr.UserId,Vals)
end)
I can't find the problem, when I leave the game, it prints the variable that was in my leaderstats. But when I then enter the game, the GetAsync return nil to Vals. Anyone know why?

Perhaps the script doesn't have enough time to save the values, because the game shuts down before it manages to?
Try keeping the server alive till the data is saved by using game:BindToClose().
local plrs = {}
local allSaved = false
local function GetCount(t)
local i = 0
for _,v in pairs(t) do
i = i + 1
end
return i
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plrs[plr.Name] = true
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local Vals = {} --should be a local variable
for i, v in pairs(plr.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(Vals, v.Name) --shouldn't v.Value be here???
end
ds:SetAsync(plr.UserId,Vals)
plrs[plr.Name] = nil
if GetCount(plrs) == 0 then
allSaved = true
end
end)
game:BindToClose(function()
repeat wait() until allSaved
end)
