Hello, I was wondering how to save the total playtime of a player on my game using the DatastoreService.
I know that is possible with something call os.time or something like that but I couldn't find more
And aditionnally, for esthetic purposes, I was wondering if it's also possible to update this data every minute (so in my statistics gui it's always updated) but for that I heard that each datastore has limitations so is this a problem if I want to update it every minute?

look into tick()

look into tick()
I can barely see any difference between tick() and dateTime()

if u store the tick when they leave and the tick when they join
you can subtract them from eachother to get the amount of seconds the player was in the game for
then you can do whatever with that

but isn't it the same with dateTime?

no clue i always use tick when i need to though
its just the amount of seconds since a certain date in like 1980

ok thanks

and if I want to constantly update the gui so it display the live time played, so it means constantly fire client with a remoteEvent and so constantly trying to get the data from datastore
Is there a datastore limit that could prevent me from doing that?

I recommend not grabbing it from the datastore
When they join grab it from the datastore and increment onto that
Then when they leave save it onto their datastore

Yea that’s what I did, if I would want to update every minute the Datastare wouldn’t like that and just being over requested
