I'm really interested in datastores, and for my game i need to save multiple things. Tables came to my mind.

It did not work.

"Does anyone out there know how to save multiple data in one script?"

HERES MY FAILED ATTEMPT TO SAVE MULTIPLE DATA;

the only difference here is on line 35 and 36 and on line 50 and 51.

01-- services --
02 
03local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
04local SaveGameData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("SaveGameData")
05 
06-- variables
07 
08local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
09 
10-- leaderstats
11 
12game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
13 
14    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
15    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
16 
17    local SavedGames = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
18    SavedGames.Name = "SavedGames"
19 
20    local OtherData = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
21    OtherData.Name = "OtherData"
22 
23    -- getasync functions
24 
25    local PlayerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
26 
27    local Data
28    local sucess, errormessage = pcall(function()
29        Data = SaveGameData:GetAsync(PlayerUserId)
30    end)
31 
32    -- setting data
33 
34    if sucess then
35            SavedGames.Value = Data
36            OtherData.Value = Data
37        end
38 
39 
40    end)
41 
42    -- when the player leaves do
43 
44    game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
45        -- setasync functions

Hello. You need the name of the dictionary's value. For example, instead of writing SavedGames.Value = Data you'd write SavedGames.Value = Data.Games. Try this:

01-- services --
02 
03local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
04local SaveGameData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("SaveGameData")
05 
06-- variables
07 
08local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
09 
10-- leaderstats
11 
12game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
13 
14    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
15    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
16 
17    local SavedGames = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
18    SavedGames.Name = "SavedGames"
19 
20    local OtherData = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
21    OtherData.Name = "OtherData"
22 
23    -- getasync functions
24 
25    local PlayerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
26 
27    local Data
28    local sucess, errormessage = pcall(function()
29        Data = SaveGameData:GetAsync(PlayerUserId)
30    end)
31 
32    -- setting data
33 
34    if sucess then
35        if Data then
36             SavedGames.Value = Data.Games
37                OtherData.Value = Data.OtherData
38        end
39else
40    warn(errormessage)
41        end
42 
43 
44    end)
45 
46    -- when the player leaves do
47 
48    game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
49        -- setasync functions
50 
51        local PlayerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
52 
53        local Data = {
54            Games = player.leaderstats.SavedGames.Value;
55            OtherData = player.leaderstats.SavedGames.Value;
56    }
57 
58        local sucess, errormessage = pcall(function()
59            SaveGameData:SetAsync(PlayerUserId, Data)
60        end)
61 
62        -- if the data saved
63 
64        if sucess then
65            print("Data saved sucessfully")
66        else
67            print("Data did not save because...")
68            warn(errormessage)
69        end

This will work, but you should also add an if statement to see if they actually have data when trying to load, because if a new player joins the game and they don't have any data, it will error. xInfinityBear 1777 — 4y
