Asked by

i am working on a system that saves player data when a player leaves or joins, but it doesn't seems to be working, but I not getting any errors and it says its saving properly, how do I fix it?

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Stage =  DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Stage")

local player
local playerid
local usertable

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    player = plr.Name
    playerid = plr.UserId

    usertable = 'player_' .. playerid

    local success , currentlevel = pcall(function()
        return Stage:GetAsync(usertable)
    end)

    if success then
        game.ReplicatedFirst.Level.Value = Stage
        print('data loaded:' .. game.ReplicatedFirst.Level.Value)
    else
        print('ok that dident work')
    end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
    local success , Stage = pcall(function()
        Stage:SetAsync(usertable,game.ReplicatedFirst.Level.Value)
    end)

    if success then
        print('data saved: ' .. game.ReplicatedFirst.Level.Value)
    end
end)

I personally write all my DataStores in a dictionary format.

local dsService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds = dsService:GetDataStore("Stage")

local playerData = {}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

    local key = plr.UserId

    playerData[plr.Name] = {}
    playerData[plr.Name].Stage = 0

    local getData 
    local succ, err = pcall(function()
        getData = ds:GetAsync(key)
    end)

    if succ then
        if getData then
            print("data successfully loaded")
            playerData[plr.Name] = getData
        else
            playerData[plr.Name].Stage = 0
            print("no save")
        end
    else
        warn(err)
    end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    local key = plr.UserId
    local succ, err = pcall(function()
        ds:SetAsync(key, playerData[plr.Name])
    end)
    if succ then
        print("save successful")
        playerData[plr.Name] = nil
    end
end)

Do a quick FireServer(), validate if everything seems true and alright, then run playerData[plr.Name].Stage = playerData[plr.Name].Stage + 1 CalvinTLincoln 2 — 4y
