Can you help with sharing data stores between places?

Asked by 6 years ago

Hello,

I have multiple games, each with a cash leaderboard. I have tried to make it, so when someone leaves the game with cash and deaths, it saves their amount of cash and deaths and then allows the other games to load and save over that value. I don't know if its possible. Can you help?

I do not want to save the variable Stage in any way.

Here is my code so far from ServerScriptStorage:

local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Deaths")
local ODS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetOrderedDataStore("WinsFixed")
local globalDataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetGlobalDataStore()
amount = 1
timedelay = 40
currencyname = "Cash"
local Pages = ODS:GetSortedAsync(false,10)
local Data = Pages:GetCurrentPage()
local GUI1=game.StarterGui.LeaderboardUI
local GUI2=game.StarterGui.LeaderboardUI1

function oa(object)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(object)
    if player ~= nil then
        local ls = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
        local sl = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(ls.Stage.Value)
        object.UpperTorso.CFrame = object.UpperTorso.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,3,0)
        wait()
        object.UpperTorso.CFrame = sl.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,3,0)
    end
end
function oe(object)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(object)
    if object.className == "Player" then
    local ack = Instance.new("IntValue")

        ack.Name = "leaderstats"
        ack.Parent = object

        local ack2 = Instance.new("IntValue")
        ack2.Name = "Stage"
        ack2.Value = 1
        ack2.Parent = ack

        local ack100 = Instance.new("Folder")
        ack100.Name = "winstats"
        ack100.Parent = object

        local ack101 = Instance.new("NumberValue")
        ack101.Name = "Wins"
        ack101.Parent = ack100


        local ack3 = Instance.new("IntValue")
        ack3.Name = "Deaths"
        ack3.Value = dataStoreService:GetAsync(object)
        ack3.Parent = ack
        object.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
            local d = true
            Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
                if (d) then
                    d = false
                    ack3.Value = ack3.Value + 1
                end
            end)
        end)
        local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
        Cash.Name = "Cash"
        Cash.Value = globalDataStoreService:GetAsync(object.UserId) or 0
        Cash.Parent = ack

        while true do
            wait(timedelay)
            for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
                if v:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
                    v.leaderstats[currencyname].Value = v.leaderstats[currencyname].Value + amount
                end
            end
        end
    end
end
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    local Points = plr.winstats.Wins
    local Dead = plr.leaderstats.Deaths
    local Money = plr.leaderstats.Cash
    if Points then
        print("saved")
        ODS:IncrementAsync(plr.Name,Points.Value)

        dataStoreService:SetAsync(plr.UserId, Dead.Value)

        globalDataStoreService:SetAsync(plr.UserId, Money.Value)
    end

end)

local function Update()
    local succ,err = pcall(function()
        local Template = GUI1.Template
            for i,v in pairs(GUI1.MainFrame:GetChildren()) do
                if v:IsA("Frame") then
                    v:Destroy()
                end
            end
        local Template2 = GUI2.Template
            for i,v in pairs(GUI2.MainFrame:GetChildren()) do
                if v:IsA("Frame") then
                    v:Destroy()
                end
            end
        for a,k in pairs(Data) do
            local PlayerName = k.key
            local PlayerPoints = k.value
            local NewTemp = Template:Clone()
            NewTemp.Name = PlayerName
            NewTemp.FrameName.Text = PlayerName
            NewTemp.FrameValue.Text = PlayerPoints
            NewTemp.Visible = true
            NewTemp.Parent = GUI1.MainFrame
            NewTemp:Clone().Parent = GUI2.MainFrame
        end
    end)
    if err then
        warn("An error has occurred when trying to update leaderboard: " .. err)
    end
end

Update()

spawn(function()
    while wait(60*3) do
        Update()


    end
end)

I have looked into it. The only way to do this type of thing is to store and save data through google docs. This is less than ideal, but it is the only way.

Actually, GlobalDataStore can be helpful, here's the link; http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/GlobalDataStore Next_Byte 21 — 6y

I have looked into to using GlobalDataStores, but I can't get them to work. Can you modify the code attached to make it work? Tweakified 117 — 6y
