My DataStore script won't save/load?

Asked by

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 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.

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!
