Guys, is there any better way to reset player's data

finite swift

i use a datastore plugin to do that

finite swift Oct 8, 2025, 2:18 AM

#

which plugin did you use?

quick rain Oct 8, 2025, 2:18 AM

#

finite swift which plugin did you use?

finite swift Oct 8, 2025, 2:18 AM

#

How much does it cost?

quick rain Oct 8, 2025, 2:20 AM

#

finite swift How much does it cost?

6,99, It was free when I got it

finite swift Oct 8, 2025, 2:20 AM

#

aww, that's actually bad for me rn

#

let me try to find another plugin

what a waste of 6,99 when the roblox dashboard has a built-in datastore manager

how else are you going to reset a player's data other than to set everything to initial values?

#

note, i specifically say reset and not remove. removal would be like a gdpr request and you would use removeasync for those

finite swift Oct 8, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

like, I actually want to set every player's data to 0

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

finite swift like, I actually want to set every player's data to 0

every? why?

finite swift Oct 8, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

so, like

#

It's a playtime reward thing

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 2:24 AM

#

what are you trying to do exactly

finite swift Oct 8, 2025, 2:25 AM

#

when it resets, every player's playtime data goes to 0

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 2:25 AM

#

quick plume what are you trying to do exactly

what are you trying to do exactly

#

and the answer i'm looking for is not "i'm trying to reset every player's data to 0", the answer involves why you're doing that

#

because this sounds like an xy problem http://xyproblem.info

#

The XY problem is asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem. This leads to enormous amounts of wasted time and energy, both on the part of people asking for help, and on the part of those providing help.

User wants to do X.
User doesn't know how to do X, but thinks they can fumble their way to a solution if they can just manage to do Y.
User doesn't know how to do Y either.
User asks for help with Y.
Others try to help user with Y, but are confused because Y seems like a strange problem to want to solve.
After much interaction and wasted time, it finally becomes clear that the user really wants help with X, and that Y wasn't even a suitable solution for X.

The problem occurs when people get stuck on what they believe is the solution and are unable step back and explain the issue in full.

#

so, when they rejoin they are gonna exactly have 0 playtime, not just the players who are online and gets subscribed by messaging service

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 2:27 AM

#

why tho

#

for what purpose

finite swift Oct 8, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

It's like a pet sim x gift, right? so, when I reset the gifts, all the player's playtime will also go to 0, so they can collect the gifts by waiting again

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

but why would you reset ALL players on the actions of one player?

#

won't each player have their own gift?

#

and what does playtime have to do with anything? why is this being reset? you don't want to know how long someone has played your game? wot

finite swift Oct 8, 2025, 2:30 AM

let me show you the full script

#

I'm bad at explaining

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 2:30 AM

finite swift

code does not tell me what you trying to achieve with this

#

what, are you trying to do daily login reward?

#

you don't need to reset all players to make those

finite swift Oct 8, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

wait wait

quick plume what a waste of 6,99 when the roblox dashboard has a built-in datastore manager

where?

sonic socket Oct 8, 2025, 4:31 AM

finite swift

u can edit the data store table and set the player data to 0

finite swift Oct 8, 2025, 4:32 AM

#

I mean, like

#

For every players

#

But, this way seems to be the slowest one

#

Because Roblox's limitation

if i understand right u wanna do something like psx where u reset the players playtime reward progress on rejoin right?

#

id use a variable to grab the service/data stores once so you dont call them repeatedly

#

but honestly the guy above is kinda right im not sure what u really want lol

pearl schooner Oct 8, 2025, 6:53 AM

#

just do datastore:SetAsync(UserId, nil)

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 7:02 AM

#

pearl schooner just do datastore:SetAsync(UserId, nil)

that is incorrect

#

this will do nothing

#

use removeasync if you want to set to nil

pearl schooner Oct 8, 2025, 7:11 AM

#

no it sets the key in the data store to nil aka nothing

#

I have used this a million times before in my scripts and it has worked every single time

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 7:56 AM

#

pearl schooner no it sets the key in the data store to nil aka nothing

local store = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetGlobalDataStore() local data=store:GetAsync("test") print(data) store:SetAsync("test",10) data=store:GetAsync("test") print(data) store:SetAsync("test",nil) data=store:GetAsync("test") print(data)```
> error: Argument 2 missing or nil

#

setasync(key,nil) errors.

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 7:57 AM

#

pearl schooner I have used this a million times before in my scripts and it has worked every si...

so uh

pearl schooner Oct 8, 2025, 7:57 AM

#

u wanna see my scripts bro

#

when resetting data I set it to nil for testing

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 7:58 AM

#

pearl schooner u wanna see my scripts bro

sure you're not using like profilestore or something?

#

it might be interpreting nil as removeasync

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 7:58 AM

#

quick plume setasync(key,nil) errors.

but setasync definitely errors, there is proof code

pearl schooner Oct 8, 2025, 8:01 AM

#

local function ResetData(Player: Player)
    
    Session[Player] = {
        
        Owned = {},
        Equipped = 0,
        
    }
    
    pcall(function()
        
        CardStore:SetAsync("Card_" .. Player.UserId, Session[Player])
        
    end)
    
    Player:SetAttribute("Card", 0)
    
end

well this just sets to the deafult values wich work aswell

#

but like how much free time do you have bro? I see you on discord like 24/7

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 8:03 AM

#

pearl schooner ```lua local function ResetData(Player: Player) Session[Player] = { ...

this doesn't look like setasync(key,nil)

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 8:04 AM

#

pearl schooner but like how much free time do you have bro? I see you on discord like 24/7

i sometimes leave my computer on, doesn't mean i'm around

pearl schooner Oct 8, 2025, 8:04 AM

#

quick plume this doesn't look like setasync(key,nil)

datastore:SetAsync(urfather, nil)

pearl schooner Oct 8, 2025, 8:05 AM

#

quick plume i sometimes leave my computer on, doesn't mean i'm around

#

quick plume Oct 8, 2025, 8:06 AM
