I need DATASAVER Script

[feral magnet]

I will tell you my game based

So my game is based rng, where you have to roll button to roll auras

for example i click roll

Thats great right, now

When i leave game and join back my data is not saved

I tried using ai

But its not working

He gave me this script:

-- Step 1: Get necessary services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

-- Step 2: Define the DataStore
local testDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("TestSaveData")

-- Step 3: Function to save player data
local function saveData(player)
print("[SERVER] Attempting to save data for player:", player.Name)

local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
    -- Save a simple number to the DataStore
    local userId = tostring(player.UserId)
    print("[SERVER] Saving data for user ID:", userId)
    testDataStore:SetAsync(userId, 42) -- Example value
end)

if success then
    print("[SERVER] Data saved successfully for player:", player.Name)
else
    warn("[SERVER] Failed to save data for player:", player.Name, "Error:", errorMessage)
end

end

-- Step 4: Function to load player data
local function loadData(player)
print("[SERVER] Attempting to load data for player:", player.Name)

local success, savedData = pcall(function()
    -- Load the data from the DataStore
    return testDataStore:GetAsync(tostring(player.UserId))
end)

if success and savedData then
    print("[SERVER] Data loaded successfully for player:", player.Name, "Data:", savedData)
else
    warn("[SERVER] Failed to load data for player:", player.Name, "Error:", savedData)
end

end

-- Step 5: Connect to Player events
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(saveData) -- Save data when a player leaves
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(loadData) -- Load data when a player joins

Go look up a tutorial please, chat gpt or whatever gave you an example script that just saves the number "42", you didn't connect this to your other scripts

[feral magnet]

Tutorial?, like what should i ask youtube to search

[fading burrow]

"roblox datastore service tutorial"

[feral magnet]

Alright, but all those tutorials are for like obbys

i will see now

thanks

[fading burrow]

Yet you will still learn shit like inter-script communication (and hopefully also cross client-server-boundary communication)

[feral magnet]

Finally i asked roblox asistent it helped me

Thanks for helping

[haughty depot]

please do not rely on ai

[bright grail]

Never use ai to make code logic brother😭

only use it as a tool for revision or to point you in a direction

Use a module like Profile Service or Profile Store as they make the process much easier, here is a vid that can help

[fading burrow]

Learning how to set them up properly is way more useful in the long run

[bright grail]

for a beginner I think a library is useful and can help you enhance your knowledge on other coding while still giving a little focus to how something like data saving works

[fading burrow]

Yet datasaving also often makes you think about proper data management (and also a bit about proper replication)

[bright grail]

bro can you help explain to the guy on the "tp to spawn" scripting-help request why he needs to make a server script

pls

[fading burrow]

Please learn about network ownership

[bright grail]

Okay I've heard of that but I've never looked into it could you explain it real quick

[bright grail]

also isn't it just simply better in this case to use server sided tps instead of client to prevent cheating?

[fading burrow]

Any assembly (basically, any mixture of unachored parts) have a network owner, this defaults to the server. If you give network ownership to a player, then you can modify stuff like it's position (or cframe) on the client, and those changes replicate to the server

[fading burrow]

Any exploiter can teleport already, unless you actually make server sided checks to prevent it

The default network owner for any character is the player

[bright grail]

okay, thanks I did not know that

[fading burrow]

Anyways, as always, trust is good. Checking is better. A very simple test can show off my "theory"
