How to remove/edit data from DataStore from a Local Script

[sonic agate]

Because when I try to do getDataStore("datafolder") it makes an error because clients can't access DataStore

[frank sleet]

you don't, you send remote events with the data you want to change

or update

just don't send the actual data through the remote

like amount of coins

do sanity checks through the server

and then insert to the player

[sonic agate]

how do I do this tho

[summer minnow]

Use a remote event

Ping me if you have any questions

[sonic agate]

So I might have difficulties but I think I could solve it myself if I could see the the server's DataStoreService, is there a way to do that?

You conmect the OnServerEvent in your datastore script

Wait hold up

Why do you need to have access to the data in the client?

To modify the data or to just have it ?

[sonic agate]

i need to modify / remove the data

like for exemple if i want to discard an item, i want to remove the item data from the server data storage

[summer minnow]

You could use a single event

And make at least 3 arguments

The first one would be the value affected, then the 2nd would be a datatype like a number (1 or 2) and if it’s 1 you destroy the value, but if its 2 you edit it by using a 3rd argument that would be the value you would set your data to

[sonic agate]

alr thx now i know how to edit but how do I remove the data, when i do data:Destroy(datapath)
it says the Parent is locked or smthing like that
Thats also why I want to see by myself how the data is stored from DataStoreService

[summer minnow]

What is the data ?

[torn meadow]

You don't use :Destroy to remove data from a datastore

Please Google your question

[sonic agate]

so i made datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
then data = datastore:GetDataStore("item_folder")

[sonic agate]

oh okay

[frank sleet]

"Data:Destroy()" 💀

[sonic agate]

is it RemoveAsync ? Because if it is, i tried using it but it doesnt work

[sonic agate]

no i put the path to the data i wanted but didnt work too

[summer minnow]

What’s the datatype of your data ?

[sonic agate]

u mean, part,model etc ?

[summer minnow]

No

"String", "Number", "Boolean"

[torn meadow]

Yes it is

Try using it like they use in the documentation
