Data not being saved

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Alright so today I was following one of AlvinBlox’s tutorials, and I came across the fact after I was done that the data didn’t save, and it Studio didn’t print any errors. What’s the problem?

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore") game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")	leaderstats.Name = leaderstats	leaderstats.Parent = player	local cash = Instance.nwe("IntValue")	cash.Name= "Cash"	cash.Parent = leaderstats	local data	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()	data = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-cash")	end)	if success then	cash.Value = data	else	print("There was an error while retrieving data")	warn(errormessage)	end end) game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()	myDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-cash",player.leaderstats.Cash.Value)	end)	if success then	print("Player Data Successfully Saved!")	else	print("There was an error when saving data")	warn(errormessage)	end end)

spelt new wrong, it isn’t spelt “Instance.nwe” it’s spelt “Instance.new”

i did not read the fact that the output didnt print out any errors, usually i would expect it to print “attempt to index nil with nwe” Hope my solution worked for you. Also make sure to change the intvalue on the server and not the client

Still not printing errors or working, thanks for point that out duh.

Note: I’m using the new beta output, but that shouldn’t change anything.

leaderstats.name was an error actually that I didn’t see, putting it in quotations and trying again…

@akitsuya It’s still not working yet.

myDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId…“-cash”,player.leaderstats.Cash.Value)

Do:

myDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId…“-cash”, player.leaderstats.Cash.Value)

Alright now I’m just really confused. “Cash” doesn’t save data, and “Coins”, the one I was scripting, completely disappeared!

When you define leaderstats and the name you need to put quotation marks leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats".

12 
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStoreTest1") game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"	leaderstats.Parent = player	local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")	cash.Name = "Cash"	cash.Parent = leaderstats	local coins = Instance.new("IntValue")	coins.Name = "Coins"	coins.Parent = leaderstats	local data	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()	data = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."GameData")	end)	if success then	if data ~= nil then	cash.Value = data["Cash"]	coins.Value = data["Coins"]	end	-- Set Data if Data Exists	else	print("There was an error while retrieving data")	warn(errormessage)	end -- Warn Failure end) game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)	if player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then	local data = {}	data["Cash"] = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value	data["Coins"] = player.leaderstats.Coins.Value	local tries = 0	local success	repeat	tries = tries + 1	success = pcall(function()	myDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."GameData", data)	end)	if not success then wait(1) end	until tries == 5 or success	if not success then	warn("Cannot save data for player!")	end	end end)

I rewrote everything, now saving both the cash and coins to one table. This is called a dictionary.
try this in a real game and see if your coins and cash are saved.

I made a function that retries saving your data 10 times if your data somehow doesn’t save.

@DarkDanny04 I already fixed that issue.

I see it retrying 5 times but that seems like more than enough so you don’t need to edit it. Testing now…

@Awesom3_Eric I put in the script and leaderboards don’t show up at all.

16

Recopy the code because I made a typo from your old script with the “nwe”

17

I didn’t see any edits to that post, and I searched for “nwe” in that pasted script and found nothing.

Publish this to your place and try it out

Do you have two scripts running? My script only instances one folder called leaderstats.

21

There is no leaderboard when I play that file

Yes, it was another script, that’s why I deleted the post.

22

Did you publish the file to a place and enable api accees?
