Does The Data Store Require an HttpService to run?

Asked by 10 years ago

I have a data store script in my place, but I keep on getting a ton of HttpGet errors in the output. Do I need to use GetHttpService or something in my script? If not whats going on?

The error looks like this:

httpGet http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=14994_dn.png failed. Trying again. Error: Input string was not in a correct format..

I am also getting alot of these:

Content failed for http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=14994_ds.png because Input string was not in a correct format.

You are probably trying to set an image somewhere. The URL format isn't correct. It should only post id's, not further characters behind that id.

In other words, one of your scripts tries to set, for example, the texture property of a decal to "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=14994_dn.png" while it should be "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=14994"

Small note: No, DataStore does NOT require HttpService to be inserted and/or enabled.

I'm pretty sure that those errors aren't associated with your Data Store problems.

No, Data Stores do not need HttpService enabled to work.
