Data Storage Not Working Have Code?
I have this but it does not seem to store any data.
01 | local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
02 | local ds = DataStore:GetDataStore("AbilitySaveSystem") |
03 | print(ds) |
04 |
05 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
06 | print(player.userId) |
07 | local Power = Instance.new("StringValue",player) |
08 | Power.Name = "Power" |
09 | print(ds:GetAsync(player.userId)) |
10 | if ds:GetAsync(player.userId) ~= "None" then |
11 | Power.Value = ds:GetAsync(player.userId) |
12 | print("He had an ability") |
13 | else |
14 | Power.Value = "None" |
15 | print("He had no ability") |

Why are you calling GetAsync like 10 times in the PlayerAdded User#19524 175 — 6y

I called it in the prints for me to check if it would print out in the console and I don't really know how to type it better. But it always defaults to the else as it finds the ability to always be None webman42 0 — 6y

this is my method of using regular datastores it works pretty well for me
01 | local Data = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("AbilitySaveSystem") |
02 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
03 | local Power = Instance.new("StringValue") -- i think using instance parent is deprecated so i didnt use it here |
04 | Power.Name = "Power" |
05 | Power.Parent = player |
06 | print("Gave "..player.Name.." Power Data") |
07 |
08 | local SavedItems = Data:GetAsync(player.UserId) -- userId is Deprecated use UserId |
09 | if SavedItems then |
10 | Power.Value = SavedItems.Power or "None" |
11 | print(player.Name.." had Power data") |
12 | else |
13 | Power.Value = "None" |
14 | print(player.Name.." didn't have Power data") |
15 | end |

Hey, I appreciate the help but I seems the script still has problems. Let me go more in depth. I have system that if your role is none and you click on this altar you roll an ability, in this case I rolled ShadowStep. I then end the testing and hit play yet the ability reverts back to none. Am I missing something else? Sorry about the trouble just now to Lua I do python and java. webman42 0 — 6y
