How to get/create Datastore tables? [ANSWERED]
Currently, I am trying to make a script for a global banned list. I am trying to add playerIds to a table and possibly retrieve these playerIds. So far I got the part down where I can match playerIds (raw data for them though) and the part where they get kicked. Other than that I need help. Can anyone lead me in the right direction (new to using DataStores and I don't understand the wiki well)?

referencing or creating new data store name
local DataStore = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('Name');
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
function to authenticate player ban status
if true, banned, elseif false, not? :D
function RequestBanStatus(player)
return DataStore:GetAsync(player.userId)
end
function to update playerId's data store
depending on boolean argument
local SetBanState = function(playerId, boolean)
DataStore:UpdateAsync(playerId ,function(state)
if boolean == false then
return false
else
return true
end
end)
end
calls RequestBanStatus function and
kicks player if returned value true
Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
if RequestBanStatus(player) then
pcall(function()
print(player,'banned')
end)
end
end)
You could also create a BindableEvent and connect it to the
SetBanStatefunction so that you can call it in your chat based administration scripts. You can also create a table within the script containing permanently banned userIds which you would of course add in theRequestBanStatusfunction in addition to the already existing check.
local DataStore = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('Name');
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local SetBanState = function(playerId, boolean)
DataStore:UpdateAsync(playerId ,function(state)
return boolean or state
end)
end
function RequestBanStatus(player)
return DataStore:GetAsync(player.userId)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
if RequestBanStatus(player) then
pcall(function()
warn('player, banned')
end)
end
end)
