Datastore Creates New Value But Doesn't Pop up in explorer!?

Asked 305 views1 answers

So I have this datastore but the problem is that it will create a value that I don't want! Help!?

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
ds1 = ds:GetDataStore("popularity")
ds2 = ds:GetDataStore("boost")
ds3 = ds:GetDataStore("multiplier")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	local value = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
	value.Value = ds1:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
	value.Name = "Popularity" -- Currency Name
	local value2 = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
	value2.Value = ds2:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
	value2.Name = "Boost"
	local value3 = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
	value3.Name = "Multiplier"
	value3.Value = ds3:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 1
	value.Changed:Connect(function()
		pcall(function()
			ds1:SetAsync(player.UserId,value.Value)
		end)
	end)
	value2.Changed:Connect(function()
		pcall(function()
			ds2:SetAsync(player.UserId,value2.Value)
		end)
	end)
	value3.Changed:Connect(function()
		pcall(function()
			ds3:SetAsync(player.UserId,value3.Value)
		end)
	end)
	game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
		pcall(function()
			ds1:SetAsync(player.UserId,value.Value)
			ds2:SetAsync(player.UserId,value2.Value)
			ds3:SetAsync(player.UserId,value3.Value)
		end)
	end)
end)

by using this way it's more efficient. 

local Data = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Data")
local Save = "Save"
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local folder      = Instance.new("Folder",plr)
	folder.Name       = "leaderstats"
	local Popularity  = Instance.new("IntValue",folder)
	Popularity.Name   = "Popularity"
	local Boost 	  = Instance.new("IntValue",folder)
	Boost.Name        = "Boost"  
	local Multiplier  = Instance.new("IntValue",folder)
	Multiplier.Name   = "Multiplier" 
	

	local PlayerData = Data:GetAsync(Save .. tostring(plr.UserId))

	if PlayerData then
			Popularity.Value = PlayerData[1] or 0 --change the 0 to your start value
			Boost.Value = PlayerData[2] or 0
			Multiplier.Value = PlayerData[3] or 0
	else
	
		Data:SetAsync(Save  .. tostring(plr.UserId), {
			Popularity.Value,
			Boost.Value,
			Multiplier.Value
		})
	end
end)
	
	
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	Data:SetAsync(Save  .. tostring(plr.UserId), {
		plr.leaderstats.Popularity.Value,
		plr.leaderstats.Boost.Value,
		plr.leaderstats.Multiplier.Value
	})
end)
