DataStore service not saving?

Asked by

Hello I'm learning how to make data stores and made one. However it is giving me issues that aren't displayed in the output so I don't know what is causing the issue.

I have a leader board with 2 stats one is an int value and the other is a string value. I have a part that gives me points to the int value and I want this data store to save the newly added points when I leave the game so that if I returned to the game the points will still be there. However when I tested it, the points are not saved and displayed as 0 (Original amount).

This is my script.


local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Strength")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function (player)

    local stats = Instance.new("IntValue", player)
    stats.Name = "leaderstats"

    local SpiritClass = Instance.new("StringValue", stats)
    SpiritClass.Name = "SpiritClass"
    SpiritClass.Value = "E"

    local Spirit = Instance.new("IntValue", stats)
    Spirit.Name = "Spirit"

    local key = "Player_"..player.UserId

    local savedvalues = DataStore:GetAsync(key)

    if savedvalues then
        -- if the player has played before then it'll load there stats
        -- format of saving is {SpiritClass, SpiritStrength}
        SpiritClass.Value = savedvalues[1]
        Spirit = savedvalues[2]
    else
        local valuesToSave = {SpiritClass.Value, Spirit.Value}
        DataStore:SetAsync(key, valuesToSave)
    end

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function (player)

    local key = "Player_"..player.UserId

    --save key: {Spiritclass, Spirit}
    local valuesToSave = {player.leaderstats.SpiritClass.Value, player.leaderstats.Spirit.Value}
    DataStore:SetAsync(key, valuesToSave)

end)

All your script is right, but you have two errors. Both errors about saving data. If you want to save multiple data you need to save it like this

game.Player.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    local key = "Player_"..player.UserId

    DataStore:SetAsync(key,{
        player.leaderstats.SpiritClass.Value; -- This is a first one
        player.leaderstats.Spirit.Value; --Second
    })
    --and if you saving multiple data you need to put ";" this before typing next
    --that means you have another info
end

-- and on line 24 put "Value" word
Spirit.Value = savedvalues[2]
0
So I say valuesToSave = {player.leaderstats.SpiritClass.Value; player.leaderstats.Spirit.Value;} ? veileno 7 — 5y

The way this is being saved is correct. Both ; and ,  are valid for a list. User#5423 17 — 5y
