Im making a simple obby, but i just have no idea how to make the stages save for the player.

If they get up to stage 40 or something and then lose connection, they will dislike the place.

I need a script and info on where to put the script, thats pretty much the only problem I have.

If anyone could help, I would really appreciate any answers!

Use DataStore to store a value every checkpoint.

Name the spawn points 1-whatever

local currentPlayerStage = {}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
wait(3)
for _, v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit:IsA("SpawnLocation") then --CHECKS IF THEY'VE TOUCHED A SPAWN LOCATION, change if the spawn points aren't spawn locations lol.
if tonumber(hit.Name) == currentPlayerStage[plr] or not currentPlayerStage[plr] then
currentPlayerStage[plr] = tonumber(hit.Name)
end
end
end)
end
end
end)
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
currentPlayerStage[plr] = nil --just tidies everything up as the server gets older
end)

Make every checkpoint it sets the value named "stage" inside the player.

o if they disconnect, misread. Use datastores.


local dsService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerLevelData = dsService:GetDataStore("PlayerLevelData")--name of datastore for player level data



game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
playerLevelData:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats.Level.Value)
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
repeat wait() until plr:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
repeat wait() until plr:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):FindFirstChild("Level")
plr.leaderstats.level = playerLevelData:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
end)

Server script is a type of script, studio just straight up calls it "Script".

Oh I see, Ive inserted this script into the 'Script' thing


local DSService = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('PUT SOME RANDOM KEY HERE')

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local uniquekey = ('id' .. player.userId)
local stage = Instance.new('IntValue', player)
stage.Name = 'stage'

local GetSaved = DSService:GetAsync(uniquekey)
if GetSaved then
stage.Value = GetSaved[1]
else
local NumbersForSaving = {stage.Value}
DSService:SetAsync(uniquekey, NumbersForSaving)
end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
local uniquekey = ('id' .. player.userId)
local Savetable = {player.stage.Value}
DSService:SetAsync(uniquekey, Savetable)
end)



I change the put some random key to 'Checkpoint'

And where it says stage.name = 'stage' I changed it to 'Checkpoint' since every check point i have placed down is named 'Checkpoint' in the workspace?


Did I do it right? I suppose not because nothing worked, Ive read the script a few times but still dont see the problem.



Anyway to add you on discord and show you my screen?

Make the random key something random, that is how you can access your DataStore, so if someone else has it they can also access the DataStore. And there is nothing in the workspace. There is a value in the player named stage unless you changed it to .Name = 'Checkpoint', and that is a number value. You still need to make checkpoints set the value but I did the DataStore for you.

Im extremely sorry, But I just dont understand this, I havent covered the full basics of rbx lua yet.

If you possibly could, may you please take a copy of my game and do everything in there?

Once you are done I will read everything a couple of times to understand what you did there, so that you didnt just do everything I dont understand at all.

I can pay 30 robux right now, from my primary as robux is currently very limited to me with no builders club.


Please reply with a yes if you can do this, I will uncopylock the game
