How To SAVE DATA With DataStore!

Guide on how to save and load player data using DataStore! Managing data is used in almost every game, so it's important to know how to do!

Give it a try and see what you can make with it!

[RealAlphaMango]

NOTE: The script won't save data changed on the client, so make sure you're setting it on the server!

To check if the values are being set properly, you can print the PlayerData when it's being saved, if the values are all 0 or not the same as the values they should be, they're not being set on the server.

Good luck! :)

[GoblinsDev]

Bro thank you! Ive been wanting to learn datastore since I decided to learn scripting which was a long time ago like 1 - 2 years ago but all the tutorials are outdated yours worked! I'm subbing!

You made data stores easy to learn, and after 6 years I finallt understand them. One problem: someone just told me about profile service. 😅

Bro, thx u so much, i was trying to find a tutorial that works like 1 month, but your is the only that works, thx

[Sunvr]

hey bro does the number value have to be a number value or can mine be a int Value

[ZyanFernando]

You can also save your data when it is changed. Suppose you died, so to increase death value by 1 you can use
()
--- Save Data using SetAsync ()
end)

Old short but how could I save any other folder I make in the future to the datastore? For example I make an upgrades folder and every IntValue is saved inside the datastore without the value resetting to 0?

Bro not gonna lie ur underrated ur shorts R od bro but nobodys watch them keep going bro am pretty sure one day u'll go viral

[Dimayuplay]

Hey, shouldnt you set the parent of an instance AFTER assigning all its other properties when using instance.new?? It optimizes the game by quite a lot, from what ive heard.

How do you get the ordered data store to show up in your script files. When I type local it shows up in a dark blue format

[Mysterykingdom]
