Am I doing DataStore right?
I am new to DataStore, I've read the wiki and a few example script's but I am not sure if I am using DataStore right, can someone tell me if I am and if I'm not can you tell me what I am doing wrong about it?
wait(1)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local stats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local cash = stats:WaitForChild("Cash")
local service = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("GameValues")
cash.Changed:connect(function()
service:SetAsync("Cash",cash.Value)
print("Updated cash to "..cash.Value)
end)

1. It's because you have to use a key. Like, for example
local key = "Playerkey"..player.userID
Each key has to be different so you can access the datastore, i believe.
So basically, you have to do
service:SetAsync(key,cash.Value)
2. Guessing by local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer, It's a Localscript.
You can't use DataStoreService in a localscript, only in a serverscript.
If you have any questions, i'll be happy to reply!
