The script im using below should work, Im just not sure if I should put the tycoon objects Ids into the save table, or how to put the tycoon purchases into the save tables at all.
``
local DataStoreService= game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore("PretendCodeIsHere")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local db = 3
function SaveTableFunc(player)
local SaveTable = {
}
return SaveTable
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
repeat wait() until player.Character
repeat wait() until script:FindFirstChild("stats")
local save1 = script.stats:Clone()
save1.Parent = player
local stats = player.stats
local save = SaveTableFunc(player)
local playerkey = "player-"..player.userId
local SaveFiles = DataStoreService:GetAsync(playerkey)
function dataInput(player, save)
print("Got saved data for "..player.Name)
end
local Passed, Error = pcall(function()
if SaveFiles == nil then
print(player.Name.." has no save data yet")
else
dataInput(player, save)
end
end)
if Error then
print("***ERROR GETTING SAVE FILE FOR "..player.Name)
local attempts = 0
while wait(db) do
local retries = attempts + 1
attempts = retries
local pass,err = pcall(function()
if SaveFiles == nil then
print(player.Name.." has no save data yet")
else
dataInput(player, save)
end
end)
if pass or attempts == 5 then break end
end
end
end)
function SaveData(player)
local Success,Error = pcall(function()
local playerkey = "player-"..player.userId
local save = SaveTableFunc(player)
DataStoreService:SetAsync(playerkey,save)
print("Saved data for "..player.Name)
end)
if Error then
print("***ERROR SAVING DATA FOR "..player.Name)
local attempts = 0
while wait (db) do
local retries = attempts + 1
attempts = retries
local pass,fail = pcall(function()
local playerkey = "player-"..player.userId
local data = SaveData(player)
DataStoreService:SetAsync(playerkey,save)
print("Successfully saved data for "..player.Name)
end)
if pass or attempts == 10 then break end
end
end
end
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(SaveData)
game:BindToClose(function()
if RunService:IsStudio() then return end
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
for _,player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
SaveData(player)
print("Saved data for "..player.Name.." on shutdown.")
end
end)``

please fix your lua brackets
there sorry about that I didnt see how ugly it looked lol
Thats a really good question. The way i'd probably do it is to just have a bool value and mark them true upon purchase. But depending on if your tycoon is a cookie cutter or custom, you need to make the purchase handler work with the datastore.
If you structure them by name, it allows you to change things down the line easier than a linear 1,2,3 system. Especially if your tycoon allows you to build different paths.
So you’re saying that inside of the save table I should just write the name of the purchase and then put a bool value inside of that script?
More or less. The script you're using youd create a bool, name it whatever "OwnerDoor" or the items name, make sure its false, then have the same thing in the save table. You can see an example on the other question i linked.
I've not personally done a tycoon save system before but, the hard part will be making it so that whenever you purchase the item, it can correctly reference the corresponding bool.
Ok,I really appreciate the help,I’ll try that as soon as I can
Let me know if you need anything else. If you need some inspiration i believe Zeds tycoon kit has a built in save system, so you could check that out for ideas.
