data store service isn't saving?

Asked 271 views1 answers
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
 
local PlayerCash = DSS:GetDataStore("Tix")
 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
    	local Folder = Instance.new("Folder")
		Folder.Name = "Data"
    	Folder.Parent = Player
    	local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Cash.Name = "Tix"
    	Cash.Parent = Player.Data
    	Cash.Value = PlayerCash:GetAsync(Player.userId) or 0
 
		game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(Player)
			PlayerCash:SetAsync(Player.userId, Cash.Value)
		end)
	end)
end)

When I test out to see if it works, it doesn't save at all. If I change the intvalue, it changes. But when I stop studio to see if it worked and play it again. It sets back to zero.

You're doing players removing inside of player added?

Am I supposed to put them in separate scripts?

No, just not inside of eachother.

So, you would take out the removing, and put it under the last end)

Do you have API services enabled?

If you already do then I don't know what's going on. However, I do have a script made by XxxLloyd061302xxX, my favorite youtuber.

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("--Cash01")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local key = "cash-"..player.userId
	local folder = Instance.new("Folder",player)
	folder.Name = "leaderstats" -- Must be lowercase
	local currency = Instance.new("IntValue",folder)
	currency.Name = "Money"
	currency.Value = 0
	
	local save = ds:GetAsync(key)
	if save then
		currency.Value = save
	end
	currency.Changed:Connect(function()
		ds:SetAsync(key,currency.Value)
	end)
end)

You can chose to use it or not. I just thought I might put this up here for others with the same question. Subscribe to the script maker here

Best wishes, Jail
