How would I save/load my textbutton?
I've tried getting the arguments right in the methods :GetAsync() and :SetAsync() but nothing new happens like it doesn't save. I don't know if my arguments are wrong or what, no error occurs either. Any help?
01 | -----Saving |
02 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr) |
03 | local Data=game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
04 | local button=workspace.PartTwo:FindFirstChild("SurfaceGui").Frame:WaitForChild("Button") |
05 | -----Name |
06 | Data:GetDataStore("SaveApplication") |
07 | -----Save |
08 | while wait(3) do |
09 | Data:SetAsync("Keysave",button) |
10 | end |
11 | end) |
12 | ------Loading |
13 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
14 | local Data=game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
15 | local button=workspace.PartTwo:FindFirstChild("SurfaceGui").Frame:WaitForChild("Button") |
16 | -----Name |
17 | Data:GetDataStore("SaveApplication") |
18 | -----Save |
19 | Data:GetAsync("Keysave",button) |
20 | end) |

You cannot save instances directly to ROBLOX DataStores. However, you can save the parameters of the TextButton.
For example, the position and text. An example of saving text, is
1 | Data:SetAsync("Keysave", button.Text) |
When a player joins another server, you can have the script create the TextButton and apply the DataStore's values.
