Getting data stores in a script in player?

Datastores are just tables. The script can be in the lighting if you wish as long as you use GetAsync you should be able to retrieve the table, no matter where the script is and as long as it's not a local script.

Actually, scripts don't work in Lighting. If they are appropriately placed, they'd be in ServerScriptService or Workspace. If FilteringEnabled is disabled, then they could work in PlayerGui or Backpack.
