Why is my data store not recognising the Value of my IntValue?
Ok, so my first issue is the Data Store not updating when a Variable changes. The current code I have for this is
var1.Changed:Connect(function()
print("Saving. . .")
data1:SetAsync(player.UserId, var1.Value)
print(player.Name.. "'s data of "..var1.Value.." "..var1.Name.." has been saved!")
end)
To me, it seemed like it wasn't recognising that the Value had changed because it never printed 'Saving...' but I can't understand why...
Second of all the data never saves when the player leaves the game.
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
print("Saving. . .")
data1:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Credits.Value)
print(player.Name.. "'s data of "..var1.Value.." "..var1.Name.." has been saved!")
end)
This prints out PureGamerGames's data of 0 Credits has been saved! however, I never set the Value to 0.
The only possible solution I thought maybe the issue was the game not recognising var1, however, I have it declared here.
local var1 = Instance.new("IntValue", stats)
var1.Name = "Credits"
var1.Value = data1:GetAsync(player.UserId, var1.Value) or 0
data1:SetAsync(player.UserId, var1.Value)
One thing to note is that I have API access enabled and I was testing this out in play test..

Hey there! Your script is difficult to read and everything is scattered. I hope you will not mind if I write a new script and explain. :D
For first insert a script into ServerScriptService and type in:
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local CreditsData = DataStore:GetDataStore("Credits") -- gets data store for credits
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- starts when player joins
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") -- creating folder inside of player
leaderstats.Parent = player
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local Credits = Instance.new("IntValue") -- creating credits inside of leaderstats
Credits.Paraent = leaderstats
Credits.Name = "Credits"
Credits.Value = 0
local PlrData = CreditsData:GetAsync(player.UserId) -- getting data from datastore
if PlrData ~= nil then -- checking if player already have data or not
Credits.Value = PlrData -- set credits value the value from datastore
print("Successfuly loaded " .. player.Name .. " 's data. Got " .. PlrData .. " credits from datastore.")
else -- if player has not data in datastore then:
CreditsData:SetAsync(player.UserId, Credits.Value) -- saves information into datastore
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) -- starts when player leave
CreditsData:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.leaderstats.Credits.Value) -- saves data
end)
I recommend to use ":UpdateAsync()" when you want to update your data store information, but player still doesnt leave
Here is example:
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local CreditsData = DataStore:GetDataStore("Credits") -- gets data store for credits
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- starts when player joins
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") -- creating folder inside of player
leaderstats.Parent = player
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local Credits = Instance.new("IntValue") -- creating credits inside of leaderstats
Credits.Paraent = leaderstats
Credits.Name = "Credits"
Credits.Value.Changed:Connect(function() --starts when credits value changed
CreditData:UpdateAsync(player.UserId) -- updating value
end)
end)
