What is the format for saving tables in DataStores?

Asked by

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a perm ban system using DataStores. For this to work efficiently, it needs tables. I don't know what is the correct format to create tables in DataStores. Do I just make up the table name and it will appear?

Here is some example code

store:GetAsync(key, table.insert([TABLE NAME HERE], id)

store:SetAsync("TableName",{})

this would create a blank table in a datastore

How would I add values to the table then? KianTrains 5 — 8y

Yes, but it gets added in-game, meaning it would have to be table.insert() or something. KianTrains 5 — 8y

then use getasync(),insert it, and save it back the the datastore lukeb50 631 — 8y

store:SetAsync("BanTable", add) add is the table.insert(), it comes out with argument 2 missing. KianTrains 5 — 8y

In this situation, you'd want to use :UpdateAsync() as there is potential for it to be changed by multiple servers. With it, check if an old value is there, and call `table.insert(THE_TABLE, NEW_BANNED_PLAYER)` on it. PowerHotmail123 90 — 8y
