Data sometimes does not save even though there are no errors

[elfin harness]

So i have a problem where my datastores sometimes doesnt load anything even though there are no errors, but then when i test again at another time it loads everything back. Are datastores outdated? If so, does anyone know a better way to save data

What does it look like

[elfin harness]

Its just saving one variable

Some have for loops some dont

[native wren]

So here’s a example

so its like thislua local DataStore = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('Value') function PlayerAdding(player) local ls = Instance.new('Folder',player) ls.Name = 'leaderstats' local Cash = Instance.new('NumberValue',ls) Cash.Name = 'Cash' local Stage = Instance.new('NumberValue',ls) Stage.Name = 'Stage' local TpStage = Instance.new('NumberValue',ls) TpStage.Name = 'TeleportStage' local Saving = DataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) for i,v in pairs(ls:GetChildren()) do v.Value = Saving[v.Name] end end function UpdateData(player) local Saving = {} local ls = player:FindFirstChild('leaderstats') for i,v in pairs(ls:GetChildren()) do Saving[v.Name] = v.Value end return Saving end function PlayerRemoving(player) local Update = UpdateData(player) DataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,Update) end local Player = game.Players Player.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) PlayerAdding(player) end) Player.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) PlayerRemoving(player) end)

So does that example look good to u

[elfin harness]

i did something similiar to this but sometimes lets say i get no cash and then when i rejoin a few mins later i get cash i had gotten before

ill try and review my code

[native wren]

Was it from a texbutton that increases the stats

And I forgot u don’t need a pcal

does it say in the console that you're fetching from the datastore too often? sometimes it doesnt fulfill datarequest Get/SetAsync calls because they're called too quickly within other calls

[elfin harness]

nope its like u did, leaderstats. it just saves the leaderstats values every thirty seconds and when they leave

there are no errors and i made sure the auto save doesnt save too early when the player doesnt have any values in the leaderstats

[native wren]

For me it never goes away

[elfin harness]

well at some point it did so i changed it up a lil bit and now it doesnt

[native wren]

Also use a game bind to close to help it increases a chance to save if player didn’t leave on accident

[elfin harness]

yea i do

[native wren]

So what does the one u have look like

[elfin harness]

hold on

[twilit coral]

not to take away from the main point of the thread but what do you mean by a game bind? like the players.PlayerRemoving event?

[elfin harness]

the convert to string is to make the Tools in the inventory into stringvalues so i can save it into the datastore

[native wren]

Ye sometimes StringValue does that

[elfin harness]

?

[native wren]

Some times for me stringvalue doesn’t save for me also

[elfin harness]

oh

[elfin harness]

what i mean is like

im just saving the value of the strings and its working fine

but sometimes it doesnt load the entire data store

[native wren]

Try the example of what I did but write it so it can look good
