UpdateAsync params

[solid scarab]

im trying to use UpdateAsync to make a datastore. I get the first arguement, its the key, THAT i understand, but the second parameter is confusing me. Do i need a function to use it???

if it helps:

[grave gulch]

the second parameter is just a function. And whatever the function returns will be the new value for the DataStore

its just like SetAsync but the functions value is the new value

[solid scarab]

yes but i tried typing a function there and a return after but since it was already in a function it thought i was trying to return from the main function (savedata()) it was inside

[grave gulch]

But you do understand that the 2nd parameter needs to be a function

[solid scarab]

yes but how can i do that with the UpdateAsync already in a function

[grave gulch]

DataStore:UpdateAsync(Key, function()

end)

[solid scarab]

thats what i DID

[grave gulch]

and?

[solid scarab]

whole function stops after the return

(by function i mean savedata())

[grave gulch]

maybe make a new function called GetData which returns the new data

and give it to the 2nd parameter

This cannot be that entertaining 💔

watching how long it takes for someone to come up with a correct answer is lowkey pretty entertaining

specially for something as obvious and simple to research as this

consider referring to the source code of ProfileStore and review how they use it
