[FIXED]Datastore update async not running?
I used to use update async and recently I started developing a new game and I'm having trouble with the update async. These are the variables
local gui = game.ServerStorage.Overhead--ignore its useless
local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local skill = ds:GetDataStore("Levels")
local key = "-level"
Then this is the part of the script that doesn't work
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(pla)
local suc, err = pcall(function()
print('hi')--prints
skill:UpdateAsync(tostring(pla.UserId..key), function(oldval)
print('update')--doesn't print
if tonumber(oldval) == nil then print("it is nil and saved") return pla.leaderstats.Level.Value end
if pla.leaderstats.Level.Value >= oldval then
print('returned more')
return pla.leaderstats.Level.Value
else
print('less than save')
return oldval
end
end)
end)
end)

You are calling UpdateAsync inside of a pcall. pcall is short for protected call, essentially meaning any error that kicks will not cause Lua to error, but instead be returned as strings. This is to let you handle those errors within Lua.
local status, errorString = pcall(function()
return datastore:SetAsync(key, value)
end)
if status == false then -- this boolean will be false if an error happened in the pcall
warn(errorString) -- warn the error to output so you can read it without halting execution
else -- otherwise it all worked out without erroring, do what you need to here
end

im using updateasync and my problem is updateasync not the status or the success its the function not calling HappyTimIsHim 652 — 4y

So that would mean UpdateAsync is running, it's your saved value that is not what you expect it to be. Make sure Level.Value is correct and that it's not hitting the oldValue condition. InfinityDesign 280 — 4y
