SavaData problem

[patent jewel]

player.character.Hair.Value is not working and not giving a value but when I replace it with a number it does work so its not loading the problem but instead finding the hair value inside the player not working

On line 124, 'data' is reffering to an unknown global. You need to create a local variable above the 'pcall' and define data

In simpler terms, put 'local data' on line 122

[patent jewel]

i will try that

did not work still same problem

I left the game and rejoin and the value did not save

[patent jewel]

@white pollen

[white pollen]

Do you have Studio Access to API Services enabled?

Also what is your output saying?

[patent jewel]

yes it is enable and it was saying cant convert it to number

i am using a int value does that matter

[patent jewel]

@white pollen

[white pollen]

Ohh I see the problem

line 139 make sure you pass the Hair.Value instead of the instance

[patent jewel]

ok

[white pollen]

So line 139 would be

HairData:SetAsync(player.UserId..'-Hair', player.Character.Hair.Value)

[patent jewel]

did not work

i check and it is suppose to be UserId

I replace player.Character.Hair.Value with 500 and it worked'

so the problem is that its not getting the number from player.Character.Hair.Value

not sure why tho

[patent jewel]

@white pollen

[white pollen]

What's the error message it's giving you?

[patent jewel]

currently it is not giving a error because i put a value of 500 and its always loads up since there is no new number to replace it

@white pollen

[white pollen]

Can you send a screenshot?

[patent jewel]

ok

[patent jewel]

@white pollen

[white pollen]

You should use the studio output bar

Can you send a screenshot of the updated script?

[patent jewel]

ok

i put 500 just to test if the rest of the script was working and it does just can find hair value

and now 500 is in save now

[white pollen]

Now if you play the game, switch to the server and change the value, does it save properly?

[patent jewel]

ok let me see

nope

try it did not work

[white pollen]

Hmm
I honestly have no idea

And you replaced the '500' with Player.Character.Hair.Value, right?

[patent jewel]

yes

@sonic portal you trying to help lol?

[sonic portal]

Give me a summary, @patent jewel

[patent jewel]

ok

so basically everything works execpt getting the number from the int value inside of the player, and it wont save

You're not handling the case in which the server shuts down

[patent jewel]

how do I do that?

This is customzation so it will always shut down

[sonic portal]

Convert your Players.PlayerRemoving handler from a throwaway function to a named function:

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    -- ...
end)

-- To:

local function saveData(player: Player)
    -- ...
end

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(saveData)

This gives you access to the data-saving logic elsewhere in your script. You will then need to bind a callback to the server-shutdown process, which can be done so through game:BindToClose:

game:BindToClose(function()
    -- Because your code makes several references to game.Players, it should be stored in a variable.
    for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
        saveData(player)
    end
end)

You should know that Roblox does not guarantee the execution order of your scripts. The following code has the chance to run before Hair is added to the player's character:

You should use Instance:WaitForChild to access that child

[patent jewel]

ok i will try that

this what you mean

[patent jewel]

@sonic portal

[sonic portal]

Look at this carefully

[patent jewel]

like this?

[sonic portal]

Correct 👍

This is not:

Read the docs: https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Instance#WaitForChild

Try to fix your mistake

[sonic portal]

Now look back at where I told you to use WaitForChild

[patent jewel]

@sonic portal

[sonic portal]

Look again

[patent jewel]

@sonic portal

the problem is not that it does not save the problem is that hair.value does not give a number value

if i replace it with a number when it safes its works

For some reason it does not access the data from the intvalue

[patent jewel]

I am thinking the problem is that it cant acces the hair value because the player is gone

[sonic portal]

Make sure to define data as local to your Players.PlayerAdded handler. This must be done outside of your pcall so it may be known to your if-statement

[sonic portal]

Yes, that is correct

Store that information in the player

[patent jewel]

ok

how do I do that

Do I put Hair in players?

[patent jewel]

@sonic portal

nevermind I put in playerscripts

I know this is wrong but where do I put the information in player? @sonic portal

it say debugging

@sonic portal brakes not sure why

local playername = player.Name
playername.hairFolder.Hair.Value = 1

fixed it

does not work

@sonic portal

[sonic portal]

You must create the IntValue and place it under the Player instance

You're also accessing the wrong GUI

StarterGui is nothing but a storage container. Because each client has their own monitor and experience with the UI, its contents are copied and transferred to a folder within the player called "PlayerGui"

That's where the rendered GUIs exist

[patent jewel]

it is created inside the player @sonic portal

[sonic portal]

So how do you know that the data isn't loading?

[patent jewel]

i join the game leave and rejoin and check inside player to see if the hair value is the same as when i lefted

When I switch hairs it changes the value of hair.value

for example there are 5 hairs, and if the player leaves it at the fourh hair the number changes to 4 but when i leave and rejoin its not 4

[patent jewel]

@sonic portal

[sonic portal]

Are you changing that value from the server?

[patent jewel]

yes
