"Cannot store Array in data store. Data stores can only accept valid UTF-8 characters." How to fix?
Uh hello, Also I tried to do a Value saving script also it saves multiple and I became this error: Cannot store Array in data store. Data stores can only accept valid UTF-8 characters. How could I fix this?
Script:
l
01 | ocal DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
02 |
03 | local PetDS = DS:GetDataStore("PetDataStore") |
04 |
05 | local PetsTable = {} |
06 |
07 | local AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL = 60 |
08 |
09 | |
10 |
11 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) |
12 |
13 | local PetsFolder = Instance.new("Folder") |
14 |
15 | PetsFolder.Name = "Pets" |
16 |
17 | PetsFolder.Parent = Player |
18 |
19 | local key = Player.UserId |
20 |
21 | PetsTable = PetDS:GetAsync() |
22 |
23 | if PetsTable then |
24 |
25 | for _,p in pairs (PetsTable) do |
26 |
27 | local In = Instance.new("IntValue") |
28 |
29 | In.Name = p["Name"] |
30 |
31 | In.Parent = PetsFolder |
32 |
33 | In.Value = p["Value"] |
34 |
35 | end |
36 |
37 | end |
38 |
39 | end) |
40 |
41 | |
42 |
43 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player) |
44 |
45 | for _,p in pairs (PetsTable) do |
46 |
47 | table.remove(PetsTable,p) |
48 |
49 | end |
50 |
51 | for _,i in pairs (Player.Pets:GetChildren()) do |
52 |
53 | if i then |
54 |
55 | table.insert(PetsTable,i) |
56 |
57 | PetsTable[i] = {} |
58 |
59 | table.insert(PetsTable[i],"Name") |
60 |
61 | table.insert(PetsTable[i], "Value") |
62 |
63 | PetsTable[i]["Name"] = i.Name |
64 |
65 | PetsTable[i]["Value"] = i.Value |
66 |
67 | print(PetsTable[i]["Name"]) |
68 |
69 | PetDS:SetAsync(Player.UserId, PetsTable) |
70 |
71 | end |
72 |
73 | end |
74 |
75 | end) |
Would be great!

Since arrays aren’t allowed in datastores, you can get around this by encoding them.
1 | -- Change line 69 |
2 |
3 | PetDS:SetAsync(Player.UserId, PetsTable) -- Not allowed |
4 | PetDS:SetAsync(Player.UserId,game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONEncode(PetsTable)) -- Allowed |
This will turn your array into a string, allowing it to be used in datastores.
