Why can't I save a table with more than 1 value in my datastore?
I'm trying to save 2 values, strength and stamina. I want to save them both as a table in 1 datastore. I know this is possible, but it just isn't working. What am I doing wrong?
01 | -- Code that gives the player their saved stats when they join |
02 | local players = game:GetService("Players") |
03 | local DSService = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('SecretTokenAboutAvatarwwww') |
04 |
05 | players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
06 | local PlayerStats = Instance.new('Folder', player) |
07 | PlayerStats.Name = 'PlayerStats' |
08 | local str = Instance.new('IntValue', PlayerStats) |
09 | str.Name = 'Strength' |
10 | local stm = Instance.new('IntValue', PlayerStats) |
11 | stm.Name = 'Stamina' |
12 |
13 | local uniquekey = "stats-"..player.userId |
14 | local GetSaved = DSService:GetAsync(uniquekey) |
15 | if GetSaved then |

UpdateAsync()
UpdateAsync takes the 2nd parameter as a function, not a table nor value. then you'd return the new value. userId is deprecated, use UserId.
01 | -- the other stuff |
02 |
03 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
04 | local DSService = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('SecretTokenAboutAvatarwwww') |
05 |
06 | Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) |
07 | local userId = "stats-"..player.UserId |
08 | local data = {player.PlayerStats.Strength.Value,player.PlayerStats.Stamina.Value} |
09 |
10 | if data then |
11 | local success, result = pcall(function() |
12 | DSService:UpdateAsync(userId, function(oldvalues) |
13 | local newtable = data or oldvalues |
14 |
15 | return newtable -- return the table |
