Datastores

[tardy fox]

I want a PlayerData datastore with a structure like this, where a table like this is stored under every playerId:

local PlayerDataSchema = {
    General = {
        Currency = 0,
        Experience = 0
    },
    Moderation = {
        AdminStatus = "Normal",
        ModerationHistory = {},
        ModerationStatus = "None"
    },
    PurchaseLog = {}
}

I've looked up a bunch of videos about saving data, but it never mentioned saving a particular value, and they were instead pushing the entire table up to the datastore every time. Is there any way I could set the Currency to a different number without having to use the entire table?

and i believe u just index which data your trying to acess

server i shot u a dm

[tardy fox]

how do you index it in the SetAsync args?

if you know

[cobalt reef]

i dont know

[tardy fox]

it asks for a key

[cobalt reef]

but u index in the table

[tardy fox]

the table would be in the datastore

[cobalt reef]

yes

yes and no

the table would be saved

and all you would have to do is add more data to the data store and then save it

[tardy fox]

so i will need to get it first and then update

[cobalt reef]

yes

[lament cloud]

That's how you retrieve the data

By doing

Datastore:GetAsync(key)

[tardy fox]

it also asks for one when setting

which is why i was wondering if it was possible to set a value in that key

Well duh
