So I'm making an adventure game and I want Coins and Crystals to save between places (worlds) in the game (universe) but I'm literally stumped and I can't come up with anything at all so I'd really appreciate if someone could help me out here.

DataStores. Unlike Data Persistence, DataStores can save information place to place so long as the places are in a single universe/game. M39a9am3R 3210 — 8y

DataStores

DataStores allow you to save data across all places in a game. It can only save primitive datatypes and some tables, so complex data will need to be serialized.

How do I save?

You can use DataStore.SetAsync

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetGlobalDataStore();
-- Assumes Player to be predefined
DataStore:SetAsync(Player.userId..'Coins', Player.leaderstats.Coins.Value);
DataStore:SetAsync(Player.userId..'Crystals', Player.leaderstats.Crystals.Value);

How do I load?

You can use DataStore.GetAsync

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetGlobalDataStore();
-- Assumes Player to be predefined
Player.leaderstats.Coins.Value = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.userId..'Coins')
Player.leaderstats.Crystals.Value = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.userId..'Crystals');

Any questions? Ask.
