Datastore not saving

[rustic kayak]

I want to save the kills value when the player leaves, but sometimes it saves it normally, and other times it doesnt save at all.

and before you guys ask, the values are incremented on server side

okay so i found something that is working a lot better, instead of trying to save it when the player leaves, i save it when the value increments, since this isnt gonna be a big project ill call this solved unless issues arrise

You need to use pcalls for DataStoreService

i tried

still had the same issue

[sour cipher]

All methods from the DataStoreService are unstable and can sometimes fail

Can you show us your datastore script?

The server could shut down before the PlayerRemoving event happens

so you need to do

which basically forces the server to do something, before it shuts down

That makes the most sense on what the issue would be, I'll try this when I'm back home

Im still new to scripting and recently learnt datastores so that's why my coding looks kinda crappy lol

[winter mortar]

its all good, we all have to start at that crappy annoying stage but once you get past it, its alot smoother from there

thank you, had to tinker a bit with it but i got it working, now i can manually reset my data without resetting others when i need to ❤️‍🩹
