hi i cant save data with my datastore so i need imput some folder or something else in my game ?

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local energyDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("EnergyDataStore")
local Click = script.Parent

Click.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
-- Load the player's energy value
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local success, energyValue = pcall(function()
return energyDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId .. "_Energy")
end)

if success then
    -- Use the loaded energy value
    print("Energy value:", energyValue)
else
    -- Handle the error
    print("Failed to load energy value:", energyValue)
end

-- Modify the energy value
energyValue = energyValue + 10

-- Save the modified energy value
local saveSuccess, saveError = pcall(function()
    energyDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId .. "_Energy", energyValue)
end)

if saveSuccess then
    print("Energy value saved:", energyValue)
else
    print("Failed to save energy value:", saveError)
end

end)

because you cant save data with a local script

also uh

to imagine a button saving data for each click sounds very expensive for the data store service

id suggest you stick to saving data only when the player leaves and also ofc via server script

you see what are u trying to save? a value, a item, a accesory

[dusk summit]

a value

[craggy gale]

with 1 click?

[craggy gale]

a button?

[dusk summit]

UI button

when you click you gain x amount of energy

yea we can manage that its not hard but to not put a hard time for datastore we can make a cooldown

[craggy gale]

X?

[dusk summit]

x can be like 1 or 10

variable

i see

do u want it to save too?

[craggy gale]

u see u cannot use LocalPlayer in a script

instead u gotta identify the player in other ways

local scripts only do for the client not Publicly for the server

local scripts are mainly used for doors that only open for the player who got the key

Sry typo script* not a local script

[craggy gale]

and also folders are used incase u want to save an item/object
