Hi, i dont know a thing about studio, but im doing a game -_-

i was searching some videos on yt and trying a LOT of diferent strats but none of them worked

#

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

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
-- Create a NumberValue to store the Gold
local goldValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
goldValue.Name = "Gold"
goldValue.Parent = Player

-- Retrieve value from DataStore
local success, playerData = pcall(function()
    return GoldStore:GetAsync(tostring(Player.UserId))
end)

if success then
    if playerData ~= nil then
        goldValue.Value = playerData
        print("Gold value retrieved from DataStore for " .. Player.Name .. ": " .. playerData)
    else
        goldValue.Value = 225
        print("No data found in DataStore. Default value of 225 used for " .. Player.Name)
    end
else
    warn("Failed to get data for " .. Player.Name .. ": " .. playerData)
    goldValue.Value = 225
end

-- Connect value change to save in DataStore
goldValue.Changed:Connect(function()
    local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
        GoldStore:SetAsync(tostring(Player.UserId), goldValue.Value)
    end)
    
    if not success then
        warn("Failed to save data for " .. Player.Name .. ": " .. errorMessage)
    else
        print("Gold value saved in DataStore for " .. Player.Name .. ": " .. goldValue.Value)
    end
end)

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
local goldValue = Player:FindFirstChild("Gold")
if goldValue then
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
GoldStore:SetAsync(tostring(Player.UserId), goldValue.Value)
end)

    if not success then
        warn("Failed to save data for " .. Player.Name .. ": " .. errorMessage)
    else
        print("Gold value saved in DataStore for " .. Player.Name .. ": " .. goldValue.Value)
    end
end

end)

#

When i enter the game it says that i have 225 gold, but in my last play i was at a diferent one, like 125

dry ivy Is this a game that you want to make?

ye

dry ivy Aug 29, 2024, 10:52 PM

#

thin sentinel ye

I don't recommend making a game while your also trying to learn Lua

#

i recommend to learn everything first and to practice certain aspects

#

untill you know some things to implement into your game

#

i have a game planned but im learning some stuff about Lua to get myself ready to make a game i want to make

#

but also make some games first to understand in the long run

ty, but can u help me with the code?

#

what's the problem?

thin sentinel Aug 29, 2024, 10:56 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 1! ** studio

thin sentinel Aug 29, 2024, 10:56 PM

#

the data store dont update

dry ivy Aug 29, 2024, 10:57 PM

#

thin sentinel the game keeps saying that i have 225 gold

maybe because you set the value equal to 225 gold

thin sentinel Aug 29, 2024, 10:57 PM

#

the starter value is 225

#

but when i change this, leave and come back, it goes back to 225

dry ivy Aug 29, 2024, 10:59 PM

#

then it saved the data, no?

#

did you retype the value inside of the client?

thin sentinel Aug 29, 2024, 11:00 PM

#

dry ivy then it saved the data, no?

data is saved with 225

dry ivy Aug 29, 2024, 11:00 PM

#

thin sentinel data is saved with 225

excatly

#

then it worked

thin sentinel Aug 29, 2024, 11:01 PM

#

but it was suposed to save with another gold value

dry ivy Aug 29, 2024, 11:01 PM

#

can you video of the situation?

dry ivy Aug 29, 2024, 11:01 PM

#

dry ivy ```lua local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") local GoldSt...

which gold value are you referring to?

thin sentinel Aug 29, 2024, 11:02 PM

#

local goldValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
goldValue.Name = "Gold"
goldValue.Parent = Player

thin sentinel Aug 29, 2024, 11:03 PM

#

dry ivy can you video of the situation?

no

dry ivy Aug 29, 2024, 11:03 PM

#

so is the gold value where you placed the "225" value?

thin sentinel Aug 29, 2024, 11:04 PM

#

thin sentinel but it was suposed to save with another gold value

yes, is the starter value when the player first enter the game

#

but when i spend the gold, the data stil saves 225

#

but it is suposed to save the actual gold

dry ivy Aug 29, 2024, 11:05 PM

#

you saved the data to set it as 225


    if success then
        if playerData ~= nil then
            goldValue.Value = playerData
            print("Gold value retrieved from DataStore for " .. Player.Name .. ": " .. playerData)
        else
            goldValue.Value = 225
            print("No data found in DataStore. Default value of 225 used for " .. Player.Name)
        end

dry ivy Aug 29, 2024, 11:05 PM

#

thin sentinel but when i spend the gold, the data stil saves 225

ohhh

#

then after you spent it, it's meant to subtract it right?

#

if not then i don't possibly know

thin sentinel Aug 29, 2024, 11:06 PM

#

dry ivy then after you spent it, it's meant to subtract it right?

yes

#

and save the value 225 - spent value

dry ivy Aug 29, 2024, 11:07 PM

#

thin sentinel yes

then whatever script you have that does this, make sure your subtracting the value after someone buy's something

thin sentinel Aug 29, 2024, 11:08 PM

#

dry ivy then whatever script you have that does this, make sure your subtracting the val...

im sure that is subtracting it

thin sentinel u here? <@1133189120378798090>

#

I feel like you should figure out why the data isn’t saving

#

Maybe break the code down to understand why that’s happening

#DataStore dont work
