Why does my leaderboard datastore not work?
I created a script that stores a players wins when they leave the game, and gets their wins when they join, but it always errors.
01 | datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
02 | WV = datastore:GetDataStore("WinsValue") |
03 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
04 | local folder = Instance.new("Folder") |
05 | folder.Parent = player |
06 | folder.Name = "leaderstats" |
07 | local wins = Instance.new("IntValue") |
08 | wins.Parent = folder |
09 | wins.Name = "Wins" |
10 | ---------------------------- |
11 | local winsvalue |
12 | local suc,err = pcall(function() |
13 | winsvalue = WV:GetAsync(player.UserId) |
14 | end) |
15 | if suc then |

I found out that my datastore was fine, the problem was that in anotehr script I had the wins were updated on the client, where they should be updated on the server.

The value when joining needs to be set to a table in order within the DataStore. The value when leaving needs to be set as an array. Lastly, in the if suc, else statement, don't just print, Run the GetAsync.
01 | datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
02 | WV = datastore:GetDataStore("WinsValue") |
03 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
04 | local folder = Instance.new("Folder") |
05 | folder.Parent = player |
06 | folder.Name = "leaderstats" |
07 | local wins = Instance.new("IntValue") |
08 | wins.Parent = folder |
09 | wins.Name = "Wins" |
10 | ---------------------------- |
11 | local winsvalue |
12 | local suc,err = pcall(function() |
13 | winsvalue = WV:GetAsync(player.UserId) |
14 | end) |
15 | if suc then |
