datastore

[stoic flint]

Like write a datastore script entirely for you?

[surreal nimbus]

leaderstats is a good place to STORE data ?

[graceful stump]

They are not the best places to store data. Also a datastore is used for saving data

[surreal nimbus]

ye but datastore saves an already existing data which is located somewhere

[sacred pollen]

leaderstats is a folder, you can save data from everything, there is no best type. It depends mainly of your data store script

[surreal nimbus]

but scripters can't edit their leaderstats folder ?

[sacred pollen]

yes they can

why couldnt we

[surreal nimbus]

my bad, I mean exploiters

[sacred pollen]

oh nono

[surreal nimbus]

Is player service accessible by the client side

[surreal nimbus]

ok

[sacred pollen]

today it's even more complicated since roblox did a collab with synapse x exploit

[surreal nimbus]

lol wtf

[sacred pollen]

exploiting became really complicated

[surreal nimbus]

It's a nice thing for devs

[sacred pollen]

indeed

[surreal nimbus]

I used to script there is 3-4 years

It was really easy

[graceful stump]

I prefer scripting via a data managing module. I think they’re easier to access via different scripts

[surreal nimbus]

like a teamplate ?

[graceful stump]

Teamplate?

[surreal nimbus]

I saw some devs using profile service library for datastoring. They used several scripts to manage theirs datas, like a teamplate, a manager and a state module script. I'm trying to figure out how it all works together but it's tricky.

[graceful stump]

It’s really dependent on the kind of game you’re making

e.g. a tycoon can easily get away with a single module handling data. But some larger ones try to split their data up into different types of data

[willow rampart]

im currently trying to make a checkpoint system

[unreal sedge]

** You are now Level 3! **

[willow rampart]

so that when you step on a checkpoint

itll save

and when you rejoin you go back to that checkpoint

but what i currently have isnt working

[surreal nimbus]

I'm making a tycoon what a coincidence, so you think I should store all my datas in a module script ?

[graceful stump]

I would just use a module yeag

[willow rampart]

btw @stoic flint i have the script written down, just that somethings not workign i just need help

[stoic flint]

Alright, send script

[willow rampart]

im going to bed in a sec, ill send the script tho

should i add you collab to the game?

[stoic flint]

Nope, I don't want any collabs atm

[willow rampart]

here :
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("ObbyDataStore")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local data

local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
    data = DataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-stage")
end)

if success then
    print("Success")
    if data then
        print("Test1")
        player.Team = game.Teams[data]
    else
        print("Test2")
        player.Team = game.Teams.Stage1
    end
else
    print(errorMessage)
    player.Team = game.Teams.Stage1
end

player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDefaults()

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local teamName = player.Team.Name

local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
    DataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-stage", teamName)
end)

if success then
    print("All went well")
else
    print(errorMessage)
end

end)

[willow rampart]

i mean it was just so that u could work on it since i have to go

[stoic flint]

For now I'm hoping somebody would take my place

[willow rampart]
