How can I design a data saving system for my games abilities? It doesn’t rely on inventory and has a custom gui for each ability, and the ability is useable by checking if the player is inside of an abilityOwners table, if anyone can help tytyty if not all good

i mean you should be able to do this yourself, maybe by activation of a button the player gets added to a specific table, and you can go further with this
however i have trouble with data, quite frankly i never worked with it

once you have the time you can do it
just learn it yourself its not that hard
unless this chat was just to ask others to make the script for you?
because thats not allowed..
Trust me you got this, if you spend your motivation to try and actually be able to do the things you want to do. You will achieve it. You could go to roblox learn and search up different topics because that helps me

was wondering how you would add this to the player?
also not sure if its a great idea to use local abilities because your using a module

would you potentially use a remote event for this script or do you think it also works standalone depending on the context?

sure you could also use textbuttons and such makes sense
if you wanted to go more advanced couldnt you check for the players levels and items of interest to automatically assign them a role?

like that one horror game that checked what you did the most and generated a monster for you

or maybe a preselection screen with different points of interest but that would be a bit annoying for the player
really? is it used alot
mainly is it difficuly

because that horror game really is interesting, staring at beer bottles would give you a sort alcoholic thingy monster, but yeah

you would have to implement alot of details though, if you got the time wouldnt be that much of a problem
so its a bunch of trial and error to your liking

i also imagine how annoying it would be considering you ahve such like folders and models that would be hard to keep them all at the same level
Silent hill shattered memories apparently
they use not only cameras and stuff, but also choices the player makes and removes the combat system for more vulnerability
possibly to have more times to choose

ooh that makes sense
instead of parts directly they use parts around items that basically have the same idea
so they add parts around beer bottles to check if they are staring at that item
and also this

Abilityowners table? That's a super wonky way to do this, you should have a table attached to the player with a list of their abilities

if i summarise it correctly, they use parts and lay them near the same points of interest like sexual posters or characters chest with raycasting, they apply all this data to an algorithm that applys multiplier points based on your choices in the game and therapy. Then after all that the 4 classes with the most points gets chosen and applies new parts and models to the monster based on the total score.
that is a very smart decision and i probably wouldve never guessed that
the parts and raycasting alone tbh

the choices i wouldve guessed too but after that i wouldve been in a pothole
just read that they also use the algorithm for different acts rather than the entire game in one, so if you were to look at family at the start of the game, then looked at posters in a bar it would prioritize the bar more than the family part
also the cherry ontop was that players used a wii remote that also worked as a flashlight, map and others. This made raycasting feel much more natural and better because it was way better readability
Get this, the best way to optimize this all is: By raycasting instead of checking for specific items and whatnot, they only appeared if a lineofsight was overlapping witha point of interest. They also listened per half a second somewhat instead of per frame. They used seamless loading for the most part but keeping the monster modular helped too with optimization. The algorithm didnt really work every time, it really only listened when at major checkpoints or a door for example instead of the world. Together with integer variables they made this work for the ps2 and wii

Up to you
You could make a module with methods:
module.GrantAbility
module.RemoveAbility
and have those functions both add the player to your table and add the ability to their table (and vice versa for the remove function)
Or you could just switch it which will be less confusing in the future
