1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,530
Now let's actually save the data from the leaderboard to the data store.

2
00:00:04,540 --> 00:00:09,650
We initialized it, but we haven't saved anything that we've obtained in the game.

3
00:00:09,670 --> 00:00:17,300
Let's go down below initialized player data and above our player added.

4
00:00:17,330 --> 00:00:19,000
Want to add another function?

5
00:00:20,260 --> 00:00:28,780
Local function save player data and then we will have the player get passed in.

6
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:33,910
I'm going to get a data, a data variable.

7
00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:37,090
Just initialize it to an empty table right now.

8
00:00:37,180 --> 00:00:50,260
And then I'm going to get my data points from player leader stats, dot points, dot value.

9
00:00:50,620 --> 00:00:52,600
I'm going to do three of these.

10
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,380
Write control.

11
00:00:53,380 --> 00:00:59,680
C control V control V one is going to be kills, one is going to be Dats doesn't have doesn't matter

12
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,220
what order kills, but doesn't matter about spelling.

13
00:01:03,220 --> 00:01:04,780
So make sure you spell these right.

14
00:01:05,110 --> 00:01:06,910
And kills here.

15
00:01:08,730 --> 00:01:10,020
Deaths.

16
00:01:12,210 --> 00:01:12,900
Oh, my goodness.

17
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:13,560
There we go.

18
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:14,730
Deaths.

19
00:01:17,730 --> 00:01:19,070
Deaths there.

20
00:01:19,110 --> 00:01:31,400
And then we're going to do our DS set async for our player user ID and just pass in the data.

21
00:01:31,410 --> 00:01:36,300
So we're going to get all the stuff from the leader stats and then put it in this data structure, this

22
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:39,510
data table right here and then save it off.

23
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:48,660
But we also want to save things intermittently as the game runs just in case something weird happens.

24
00:01:48,930 --> 00:01:57,630
Let's do this local function save loop and I'm going to save the data for all the players.

25
00:01:57,630 --> 00:01:59,010
Periodically.

26
00:01:59,970 --> 00:02:06,030
I'll do a while and I'm going to do it for 5 seconds because this is a demo you might actually want

27
00:02:06,030 --> 00:02:08,310
to make it like every 30 seconds or something.

28
00:02:08,970 --> 00:02:16,920
Do so while wait five 5 seconds do local players is going to be my player service.

29
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:21,210
I'm going to do a game dot players, colon, get children.

30
00:02:21,210 --> 00:02:22,980
It's going to get all the players in the game.

31
00:02:22,980 --> 00:02:35,970
They'll do a for loop for I and player in pairs from our players right that's the group of players do

32
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:44,580
we'll get our board let's check to see if there's a board because there might not be right We start

33
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:48,840
initializing players and doing things prior to the board being added.

34
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,850
This is going to fire for everybody in the game, not just the player being added.

35
00:02:53,850 --> 00:02:56,700
So it's possible you get a player that doesn't have a board.

36
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:01,740
Let's check to make sure they have a board because we're using it for saving stuff.

37
00:03:01,740 --> 00:03:05,000
So we'll just say leader stats, right?

38
00:03:05,010 --> 00:03:09,180
We're going to get the player, we're going to do a fine first child for leader stats, make sure they

39
00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:10,140
have the board.

40
00:03:11,070 --> 00:03:18,450
If board, then we'll call this save player data for that player

41
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,860
and we can print two, right?

42
00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:32,730
So we do a print print in save loop in save loop for player and you'll want to get rid of this because

43
00:03:32,730 --> 00:03:35,370
if you have like 50 players is going to loop for everybody.

44
00:03:35,580 --> 00:03:38,640
Player dot name.

45
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,110
It'll be good for testing though.

46
00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:41,100
You know what I'm going to do?

47
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:45,570
I'm just going to put a little bit weight in between there because we are making calls to the data store,

48
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,970
maybe slow down the network traffic a little bit.

49
00:03:48,660 --> 00:03:48,930
All right.

50
00:03:48,930 --> 00:03:53,130
So where do we call this and where do we call this?

51
00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:58,590
Well, this one we definitely want to call it when there's a player being removed from the game.

52
00:03:59,010 --> 00:03:59,400
Right.

53
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,960
So let's copy that.

54
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,150
So we keep it in mind.

55
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,500
I'm going to do this.

56
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:05,970
I could do this below.

57
00:04:05,970 --> 00:04:07,050
Player added.

58
00:04:07,050 --> 00:04:08,160
I think I will.

59
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:17,250
Let's go down to the bottom, the very bottom of the script game players player removing.

60
00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:20,340
So that's when a player is being yanked from the game or one leaving the game.

61
00:04:20,340 --> 00:04:28,170
Right When they're leaving the game, connect save player data and the player will get passed in as

62
00:04:28,170 --> 00:04:30,930
an argument because it's much like Player added.

63
00:04:30,930 --> 00:04:36,930
So the player that's being removed is going to have the variable in sent to save player data.

64
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:43,920
Now, one thing to keep in mind when you're leaving Roadblock Studio, this might not fire fast enough

65
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,270
because Roadblock Studio shuts down right away, so the player removing will be fired.

66
00:04:48,270 --> 00:04:52,470
You might not save data when testing if that's really important to you.

67
00:04:52,470 --> 00:04:56,580
You should look up something called bind to close.

68
00:04:58,740 --> 00:05:04,710
Bind to close fires when the server is shutting down so that you could make sure you get one last save

69
00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:05,370
in there.

70
00:05:05,370 --> 00:05:12,390
And it's good for studio testing, but in actuality you're really only going to have to watch the player

71
00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:13,350
removing event.

72
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:18,480
You're just going to have to be careful when you're doing your test in studio that this might not save

73
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,380
everything.

74
00:05:19,740 --> 00:05:20,220
All right.

75
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:25,830
So we have that firing when somebody leaves, we need to get this going.

76
00:05:26,490 --> 00:05:31,500
So I think what I'm going to do is copy, maybe do a control C for that.

77
00:05:31,860 --> 00:05:36,180
And we only want that to start one time.

78
00:05:37,020 --> 00:05:43,470
Like not every single time a player enters, maybe just on server startup.

79
00:05:43,470 --> 00:05:53,430
So let's do a spawn save loop and this is going to spawn off of a thread for the save loop and it should

80
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:57,390
only happen on server startup when people join our game.

81
00:05:57,390 --> 00:06:00,030
This is going to happen every time someone joins the game.

82
00:06:00,030 --> 00:06:01,200
We don't need that many.

83
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:07,560
We don't need that many calls to our our save loop because it is already calling all of our players.

84
00:06:07,770 --> 00:06:14,640
Let's go ahead and give it a try, see if we can get some data going now and save it off in between

85
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,950
our in between our games.

86
00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:19,680
We're going to get a couple of coins maybe, and then die.

87
00:06:19,710 --> 00:06:20,820
Maybe two.

88
00:06:21,570 --> 00:06:22,410
Let's see.

89
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,320
We can't do kills because we only have one player.

90
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,760
We can die, though.

91
00:06:27,970 --> 00:06:28,840
Let's try that.

92
00:06:33,140 --> 00:06:33,460
Bam.

93
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:34,940
So we got a death.

94
00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:38,210
And we can get.

95
00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:38,700
What was that?

96
00:06:38,850 --> 00:06:39,820
That was my head.

97
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:41,820
We can get a we can get a zombie.

98
00:06:41,820 --> 00:06:42,540
Two or a coin.

99
00:06:42,540 --> 00:06:43,560
Let's get a coin.

100
00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:45,730
We got our gun.

101
00:06:50,940 --> 00:06:52,650
So we got ten points there.

102
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,390
20 points, maybe 30.

103
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,910
So we got 30 points and we got one death.

104
00:06:57,930 --> 00:07:00,580
Let's take a look at our output window.

105
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:06,030
Remember, we may not be able to save as we're leaving because the player removing event doesn't fire

106
00:07:06,030 --> 00:07:08,250
fast enough for the studio to shut down.

107
00:07:08,250 --> 00:07:10,860
It will for regular for regular servers in your game.

108
00:07:10,860 --> 00:07:16,020
But we're getting all kinds of these calls that the data store data store request was added to the queue.

109
00:07:16,110 --> 00:07:16,560
All right.

110
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,360
Let's go ahead and shut down.

111
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,620
We're all shut down.

112
00:07:23,620 --> 00:07:24,910
Let's go ahead and play.

113
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:32,150
And there we go.

114
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,300
30 points.

115
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:34,350
One death.

116
00:07:34,350 --> 00:07:35,640
That's looking good.

117
00:07:36,030 --> 00:07:38,460
Now, there's a couple of things you need to keep in mind.

118
00:07:38,460 --> 00:07:44,420
We tested our data store in Roadblock studio for our player.

119
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:51,660
If you play that player in the game in roadblocks on a legit roadblocks player in a regular game, that

120
00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:53,340
date is still going to be there.

121
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:59,360
The data store is not test test data store data, it's the actual data store.

122
00:07:59,370 --> 00:08:05,340
So if you mess up your data in Roadblock studio, you're going to mess up your data in the game.

123
00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:12,150
Now, the test server data, although it is the same data store, same as the production game, your

124
00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:13,830
user IDs are different.

125
00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:16,260
They usually make it like negative one and negative two.

126
00:08:16,260 --> 00:08:18,390
I don't know if they change that anytime soon.

127
00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:25,290
Probably they change a lot of stuff in roadblocks, but if we test under the test server, we're going

128
00:08:25,290 --> 00:08:31,800
to not we're not going to be able to see the results if we play in regular studio, not with the test

129
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,960
server or in the game.

130
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,870
And I'm going to demonstrate because that's really hard to explain.

131
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:38,090
I'm going to pause the video.

132
00:08:38,090 --> 00:08:39,330
All this is starting up.

133
00:08:40,290 --> 00:08:40,620
All right.

134
00:08:40,620 --> 00:08:44,100
So I got him down to almost dead.

135
00:08:45,620 --> 00:08:49,140
And there we go.

136
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,930
So we got to kill.

137
00:08:51,020 --> 00:08:54,220
And other player got a death.

138
00:08:54,230 --> 00:08:56,090
Let's shut this down.

139
00:08:56,090 --> 00:08:57,110
Bring it up.

140
00:08:57,110 --> 00:09:00,060
See if we maintained our leaderboard.

141
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,490
I'll pause the video again.

142
00:09:01,490 --> 00:09:02,210
Shut it down.

143
00:09:02,210 --> 00:09:02,810
Bring it up.

144
00:09:02,810 --> 00:09:05,270
You can see I'm going to do clean up right here.

145
00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:08,480
And we got it right.

146
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,610
We got our one kills and one death.

147
00:09:11,630 --> 00:09:13,640
Now he's at 50 points.

148
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,600
One kill, one death.

149
00:09:15,620 --> 00:09:23,830
What happens if we close this all out and start up our regular or regular test server on Roadblock studio?

150
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,570
Not the under the test tab.

151
00:09:26,570 --> 00:09:30,050
So if we go here, try this out.

152
00:09:33,150 --> 00:09:37,740
We have our original 30 points one deaths with no kills.

153
00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:43,380
So you can see that they use different IDs on this test tab for this server right here.

154
00:09:43,380 --> 00:09:45,750
So that actually is considered the test server.

155
00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:48,780
This isn't the test server, this is roadblock studio testing.

156
00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:56,160
So keep that in mind When you start doing the test server with a different players, your user IDs are

157
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,040
going to be like negative one, negative two, negative three.

158
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:06,090
And this is the actual player user ID when I just hit the test right here, the play button right here

159
00:10:06,090 --> 00:10:07,470
in Roadblock Studio.
