[Solved] Error with DataSave, DataStore can't be accessed from client?

Asked by 5 years ago
Edited 5 years ago

I'll try to word this constructive to others as well. I'm working with a generic Data Save script to save money (Dollars). Just a normal DataStore to keep a players money the same when the disconnect and reconnect. I have the code in a NORMAL SCRIPT in the workspace, but when I run the game I get no errors but the money does not save so I manually run the script and it says, "DataStore can't be accessed from client". I'm not sure what this means, it would be awesome if someone could clarify the error or see if theres an error in the code. Thanks a ton.

local DSS = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('TestingTesting123')
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local unique = 'id-'..plr.userId
    local leaderstats = Instance.new('IntValue',plr)
    local savevalue = Instance.new('IntValue',leaderstats)
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    savevalue.Parent = leaderstats
    savevalue.Name = "Dollars"
    leaderstats.Value = 10


    local GetSaved = DSS:GetAsync(unique)
    if GetSaved then
        savevalue.Value = GetSaved[1]
    else
        local NumbersForSaving = {savevalue.Value}
        DSS:SetAsync(unique, NumbersForSaving)
    end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    local unique = 'id-'..plr.userId
    local Savetable = {plr.leaderstats.Dollars.Value}
    DSS:SetAsync(unique, Savetable)
end)

Scripts in studio test run locally. You should test in a test server or try it in-game Rare_tendo 3000 — 5y
