How to save 2 Data Stores via Tables?

I know how Datastore work, and how to save on value, eg Wins. But when I try to save 2 Values with it, It doesn't work, I got some help yesterday but it wasn't really helpful, as I am not familiar with Saving data with Tables/Arrays

This is how to Load Players Data, but when he leaves, what should be done, would appreciate in depth help <3

01local dataTable = {
02    Points = Points.Value
03    Wins = Wins.Value
04}
05 
06local success, err = pcall(function()
07    DATASTORE:GetAsync(dataTable)
08end)
09if success then
10    Points.Value = dataTable.Points
11    Wins.Value = dataTable.Wins
12end

When he leaves you are obviously going to want to save the data. The best way to do this is in a PlayerRemoving function. A function that runs when the player leaves the game.

1game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
2 
3 
4 
5 
6end)

The next thing your going to want to do is reference the data. I personally do not know how your data is stored so the next part will likely need to be edited depending on your situation.

01game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
02 
03--This is based off the assumption your data is stored like this. Obviously your data might be saved differently so you'll want to correctly reference it in the table. (I can't just type Points.Value because its a separate function obviously.)
04 
05local Data = {
06 
07        Points = Player.leaderstats.Points.Value
08        Wins = Player.leaderstats.Wins.Value
09}
10 
11 
12end)

The final part you are going to want to do is save this to the player. To do this you are going to need a key. Something which you can identify for each individual player. You are then going to need to try and save that (doing it in a pcall in case it fails).

The final result should look something like this:

01--This Gets The Data Store:
02 
03local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
04 
05--This Creates The Game Data Store With The Name Of Game Data:
06 
07local GameDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("GameDataStore")
08 
09game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
10 
11--This is based off the assumption your data is stored like this. Obviously your data might be saved differently so you'll want to correctly reference it in the table. (I can't just type Points.Value because its a separate function obviously.)
12 
13local Data = {
14 
15        Points = Player.leaderstats.Points.Value
16        Wins = Player.leaderstats.Wins.Value
17}
18 
19--This is the key:
20local PlayerUserId = "Player_"..Player.UserId
21 
22--Wrapped in a pcall this saves the data to the data store
23    local Success, ErrorMessage = pcall(function()
24        GameDataStore:SetAsync(PlayerUserId, Data)
25    end)
26 
27 
28    --We know the datas saved:
29    if Success then
30        print("Data Saved.")
31    else
32    --Data didn't save:
33        print(ErrorMessage)
34    end
35end)

When loading the data you are obviously going to need to reference the key. However since this question was purely about saving data on removal I will only be answering that. (+ if I did much more I would practically be scripting your data save system)

This is all I needed, thank you so much for taking your time and describing everything! Borrahh 265 — 4y
