My DataStore script won't save/load?

Asked 293 views1 answers

My DataStore script won't save or maybe won't load players data. I have a button in game that raises the values of GoldRubyC and CollectionValue


local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("tablohazerjia1")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
		local PlayerProfile = Instance.new("Folder")
	PlayerProfile.Name = "PlayerProfile"
	PlayerProfile.Parent = player
	
	
	-------------------- [Collected Treasure Verified]-
	local TreasuresCollected = Instance.new("IntValue")
	TreasuresCollected.Name = "TreasuresCollected"
	TreasuresCollected.Parent = PlayerProfile
	---------------------------------------------------
	
	
	---------------------[Treasures]--------------------
	local GoldRubyC = Instance.new("IntValue")
	GoldRubyC.Name = "GoldRubyC"
	GoldRubyC.Parent = PlayerProfile.TreasuresCollected
	---------------------------------------------------
	
	
	---------------------[Collection Value]------------
	local CollectionValue = Instance.new("IntValue")
	CollectionValue.Name = "CollectionValue"
	CollectionValue.Parent = PlayerProfile
	--------------------------------------------------

	
	
	local key = "user_" .. player.userId
	
	local storeditems = datastore:GetAsync(key)
	
	if storeditems then
		TreasuresCollected.Value = storeditems[1]
		GoldRubyC.Value = storeditems[2]
		CollectionValue.Value = storeditems[3]
	else
		local items = {TreasuresCollected.Value, GoldRubyC.Value, CollectionValue.Value}
		datastore:SetAsync(key, items)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
	local items = {player.PlayerProfile.TreasuresCollected.Value, player.PlayerProfile.TreasuresCollected.GoldRubyC.Value, player.PlayerProfile.CollectionValue.Value}
	local key = "user_" ..player.userId
	
	datastore:SetAsync(key, items)
end)

Go into your game through your profile, go into the command page and give yourself these values, tell me if they save when you do it that way

Hi mark, the problem is you're trying to get the values through a local script. you're going to need to use a server script. Use a remote Event from the local script to tell the server script to add the points, ill demonstrate here. Put a RemoteEvent inside the ReplicatedStorage, its an addable item through right click options. then put this into the local script after the button has been pressed. 

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer()

then add this to a server script 

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)

then add underneath that line to add the values to the folder. like this 

local myName = "TreasuresCollected"
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)

local TreasuresCollected = plr.PlayerProfile:FindFirstChild(myName)
	  TreasuresCollected.Value =TreasuresCollected.Value + 1
end)

let me know if this works!
