How do you fix this leaderboards script for my game?

Asked 197 views1 answers

Okay, so basically I tried making a leaderboard script and I cannot fix it at the moment. Its not an localscript its a regular script and I dont understand how its not working. Its 100% broken right now.

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local CashStore = DataStore:GetDataStore("CashStore")
local RebirthStore = DataStore:GetDataStore("RebirthStore")
local StageStore = DataStore:GetDataStore("StageStore")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
 
 local stats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
 stats.Name = "leaderstats"
 
 local cash = Instance.new("IntValue",stats)
 cash.Name = "Cash"
 cash.Value = CashStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
 print("Data Loaded.")


local rebirths = Instance.new("IntValue",stats)
rebirths.Name = "Rebirths"
rebirths.Value = RebirthStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
print("Data Loaded")

local stage = Instance.new("IntValue",stats)
stage.Name = "Stage"
stage.Value = StageStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
print("Data Loaded")


 
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
 CashStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,player.leaderstats.Cash.Value)
 print("Data Saved.")

end)?

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    RebirthStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,player.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value)
end)


game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    StageStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,player.leaderstats.Stage.Value)
end)

Also don’t use AlvinBlox, or free Scripts, they’re very deprecated

Ok, so firstly, since these are all IntValues, I see no reason why you can't use a Table to Save the Values, rather than three different DataStores.

Secondly, sometimes when using the GetAsync - or method, the getasync is read as nil and kept as the value of the item, rather than your "or" value, so you should preset the intvalue and check if there is data that needs to be loaded, since if the player has never played the game, then they have no DataStore info (the getasync would return nil)

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Storage = DataStore:GetDataStore("Numerical")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local stats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	stats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local cash = Instance.new("IntValue", stats)
	cash.Name = "Cash"
	cash.Value = 0

	local rebirths = Instance.new("IntValue", stats)
	rebirths.Name = "Rebirths"
	rebirths.Value = 0
	
	local stage = Instance.new("IntValue", stats)
	stage.Name = "Stage"
	stage.Value = 0

	local LoadArray = Storage:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	if LoadArray then
		player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = LoadArray[1]
		player.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value = LoadArray[2]
		player.leaderstats.Stage.Value = LoadArray[3]
		print("Data Loaded.")
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local SaveArray = {player.leaderstats.Cash.Value, player.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value, player.leaderstats.Stage.Value}
	Storage:SetAsync(player.UserId, SaveArray)
	print("Data Saved.")
end)
