DataStore only occasionally saving/retrieving data?

Asked by

5 years ago

So, I asked a question a day or two ago, about my DataStore not working. Well, it works now, but only occasionally.

I'm not sure what to do, because I don't wanna completely break it again, so I came here. If anyone can help, I'm new to scripting so it would be appreciated. Here's my code:

01local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02local StatStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStats")
03 
04game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
05    game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
06    player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
07    player.PlayerGui.Codes.SpeedBoost.Parent = player
08 
09    local Key = player.UserId
10 
11    local Leaderstats = player.leaderstats
12    local Steps = Leaderstats.Steps
13    local SpeedBoost = player.SpeedBoost
14 
15    local DefaultSteps = 0
16 
17    local DefaultData = {
18        0,
19        false
20    }
21 
22    local Stats = {
23        Steps.Value,
24        SpeedBoost.Value
25    }
26 
27    local NewStats
28    local recieved, notRecieved = pcall(function()
29        NewStats = StatStore:GetAsync(Key)
30    end)
31 
32    if recieved then
33        Steps.Value = NewStats[1]
34        SpeedBoost.Value = NewStats[2]
35        print("Stats were recieved")
36        wait(1)
37        StatStore:SetAsync(Key, Stats)
38    else
39        StatStore:SetAsync(Key, DefaultData)
40        print("Stats were not recieved")
41        warn(notRecieved)
42    end
43 
44    wait(0.1)
45 
46    while wait(10) do
47        local saved, notSaved = pcall(function()
48            StatStore:UpdateAsync(Key, function(oldValue)
49                return Stats
50            end)
51        end)
52 
53        if saved then
54            print("Stats were auto saved!")
55        else
56            print("Stats didn't auto save.")
57        end
58    end
59end)
60 
61game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
62    local Key = player.UserId
63 
64    local Leaderstats = player.leaderstats
65    local Steps = Leaderstats.Steps
66    local SpeedBoost = player.SpeedBoost
67 
68    local DefaultData = {
69        0,
70        false
71    }
72 
73    local Stats = {
74        Steps.Value,
75        SpeedBoost.Value
76    }
77 
78    local success, result = pcall(function()
79        StatStore:UpdateAsync(Key, function(oldValue)
80            return Stats
81        end)
82    end)
83 
84    if success then
85        print("Stats were saved!")
86    else
87        print("Stats were not saved.")
88        warn(result)
89    end
90end)

Sorry if it's messy, like I said, I'm new to scripting.

Steps is an IntValue and SpeedBoost is a BoolValue.
