datastore issues

[turbid gazelle]

so what does it print

[final vale]

I think it’s because ur setting a table a fix would be DataTable[1] I think

[red creek]

** You are now Level 1! **

[round briar]

which one

hol up

if i give myself coins and leave it prints the correct amount in the table

but when i join back it says i dont have data

[round briar]

in the LeaderstatsDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Leaderstats",DataTable) line?

if so

[final vale]

Yes

[turbid gazelle]

No

[final vale]

I am on my phonne rn sorry

[turbid gazelle]

you can set tables

Just get back this code and put a bool value named SaveInStudio in server storage set it to true and try again

[round briar]

alr

[round briar]

anything else i have to do with this?

[final vale]

lol

[turbid gazelle]

no

[round briar]

didnt work

this print doesnt work

print("player left, saving data for", player)

[turbid gazelle]

any erros?

[round briar]

nope

[turbid gazelle]

ok instead add into the player added and change it to coins.Changed

[round briar]

this is a server script

[turbid gazelle]

and?

[round briar]

so i have no way to refer to a individual player

oh wait nvm

[turbid gazelle]

yes u do

[round briar]

yeah i see that u said add it to when a player is added

[round briar]

only through certain functions

[turbid gazelle]

yes

u could loop through all players, using player removing, use player added

all work

[round briar]

so how would i do this

[turbid gazelle]

after you set the coins value you add coins.Changed:Connect(function(newValue)
-- code
end)

[final vale]

When I get home I can fix the issues

[final vale]

You shouldn’t do that

You should only save data when leaving

[turbid gazelle]

it depends

[final vale]

Setting player data every single time the value change is bad practice

And it is highly not recommended

Because data stores have limits

[turbid gazelle]

just make it save every tick

[final vale]

Fr

[turbid gazelle]

[turbid gazelle]

yes but it depends on how often you change your value, playerremoving isnt the best in studio

[final vale]

[round briar]

while true do

lol

[final vale]

While task.wait()

Best fr

[round briar]

i use that too

[turbid gazelle]

but if you wanted to use playerremoving you would have to use it in game, not in studio

in typical datastores in studio, the data often cannot save in time

in game, it will successfully fire

[round briar]

it works in my other game

i have actually no clue how too

[turbid gazelle]

it depends

try in game with your old game

[round briar]

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

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" --creating leaderstats
    leaderstats.Parent = player
    
    local Diamonds = Instance.new("IntValue")
    Diamonds.Name = "Diamonds" --creating diamonds in leadertstats
    Diamonds.Parent = leaderstats
    
    local coins = Instance.new("IntValue") --creating coins
    coins.Name = "Coins"
    coins.Parent = player

    local data = LeaderstatsDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Leaderstats")  --data

    if data == nil then
        local Coins = player.Coins
        Diamonds.Value = 0
        Coins.Value = 0
    else
        local Coins = player.Coins
        Diamonds.Value = data["Diamonds"]
        Coins.Value = data["Coins"]
    end
    
end)





game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    local Diamonds = player.leaderstats.Diamonds.Value
    local Coins = player.Coins.Value
    local DataTable = {
        ["Diamonds"] = Diamonds,
        ["Coins"] = Coins}
    
    LeaderstatsDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Leaderstats",DataTable)
end)

print("Leaderstats completed + data store!")

this works entirely

[turbid gazelle]

try in game

[round briar]

ok

what the heck

[turbid gazelle]

legit just copy paste this code

[turbid gazelle]

you have .Connect?

[round briar]

i think i just found what was wrong lol

nvm but

i didnt have a PlayerRemoving

[round briar]

i did

but removed the diamonds

hol up i gotta add a way to get coins in game so i can test in game
