How would I save a table using SetAsync?

I don't know what the people above me are talking about with HTTP Service and stuff. Just save it like anything else. http://prntscr.com/ma4rd3 GFink 0 — 6y

You can use the http service. The script may has some error:
01 | local table = {a = "0",b = "0"} -- The main table |
02 | local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService") -- datastore service |
03 | local hs = game.HttpService -- the http service |
04 | local nds = ds:GetDataStore("test") |
05 | local value = hs:JSONDecode(nds) |
06 | if value == nil then -- if it the first time you start the game then you start with the main table |
07 | value = table |
08 | else |
09 | value.a = value.a + 1 --we want to add 1 to a every time |
10 | value.b = value.b + 2 --we want to add 2 to b every time |
11 | end |
12 | local encode = hs:JSONEncode(value) |
13 | hs:SetAsync("test",encode) -- may be it (encode,"test") |

You would save it as you would another type of data, but do remember the 65536 character limitation and that it saves the table encoded in JSON, to get the length of the encoded table length, doprint(string.length(game:GetService('HttpService'):JSONEncode(table)))
Example:
1 | game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('AName'):SetAsync('table',{'a','b','c'}) |
2 | local t = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('AName'):GetAsync('table') |
