Data Stores will not load data. How to fix?
This is my code:
01 | local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
02 | local PointsStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("BBSystems", "PointsValueHolder") |
03 |
04 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) |
05 | local Key = "uid_" .. Player.UserId |
06 | local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") |
07 | local Points = Instance.new("NumberValue") |
08 | local Rank = Instance.new("StringValue") |
09 |
10 | leaderstats.Parent = Player |
11 | leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" |
12 |
13 | Points.Parent = leaderstats |
14 | Points.Name = "Points" |
15 | Points.Value = PointsStore:GetAsync(Key) |

and for some reason It will not load the data up when the play joins (Im not sure if it saves it either)
If you could help, that would be much appreciated!

try using a pcall to get the data and set it to a variable. this always works for me
01 | local aDataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("aDataStore") |
02 |
03 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) |
04 | local Key = "uid_" .. Player.UserId |
05 | local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") |
06 | local Points = Instance.new("NumberValue") |
07 | local Rank = Instance.new("StringValue") |
08 |
09 | leaderstats.Parent = Player |
10 | leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" |
11 |
12 | Points.Parent = leaderstats |
13 | Points.Name = "Points" |
14 | Points.Value = aDataStore:GetAsync(Key) |
15 |

It works for me. here, I'll edit it to show the final code. you need to join an actual game by the way- data won't save in studio. I actually did change a few things but it works- saves points and gets the players current group rank. accept my answer if everything works :) Spiritlotus 151 — 5y
