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

01local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("tablohazerjia1")
02 
03 
04game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
05        local PlayerProfile = Instance.new("Folder")
06    PlayerProfile.Name = "PlayerProfile"
07    PlayerProfile.Parent = player
08 
09 
10    -------------------- [Collected Treasure Verified]-
11    local TreasuresCollected = Instance.new("IntValue")
12    TreasuresCollected.Name = "TreasuresCollected"
13    TreasuresCollected.Parent = PlayerProfile
14    ---------------------------------------------------
15 
16 
17    ---------------------[Treasures]--------------------
18    local GoldRubyC = Instance.new("IntValue")
19    GoldRubyC.Name = "GoldRubyC"
20    GoldRubyC.Parent = PlayerProfile.TreasuresCollected
21    ---------------------------------------------------
22 
23 
24    ---------------------[Collection Value]------------
25    local CollectionValue = Instance.new("IntValue")
26    CollectionValue.Name = "CollectionValue"
27    CollectionValue.Parent = PlayerProfile
28    --------------------------------------------------

31 
32    local key = "user_" .. player.userId
33 
34    local storeditems = datastore:GetAsync(key)
35 
36    if storeditems then
37        TreasuresCollected.Value = storeditems[1]
38        GoldRubyC.Value = storeditems[2]
39        CollectionValue.Value = storeditems[3]
40    else
41        local items = {TreasuresCollected.Value, GoldRubyC.Value, CollectionValue.Value}
42        datastore:SetAsync(key, items)
43    end
44end)
45 
46game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
47    local items = {player.PlayerProfile.TreasuresCollected.Value, player.PlayerProfile.TreasuresCollected.GoldRubyC.Value, player.PlayerProfile.CollectionValue.Value}
48    local key = "user_" ..player.userId

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 Hizar7 102 — 6y

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.

`1`	`game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer()`

then add this to a server script

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

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

1local myName = "TreasuresCollected"
2game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
3 
4local TreasuresCollected = plr.PlayerProfile:FindFirstChild(myName)
5      TreasuresCollected.Value =TreasuresCollected.Value + 1
6end)

let me know if this works!

if this works please accept this answer, I'd appreciate it ! Hizar7 102 — 6y
