How to save tables with datastore?
Making a ban function which is connected to a table but I don't know how to.
The Module Script
local banned = {}
reason = "You have been banned from the game from a Developer"
local datastore = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('MHARebornBanList') --The DataStore
local banlist = {}--Storing the Banlist
function banned.AddBanlist(userid)
table.insert(#banlist, userid)
local key = "Banned-"..userid
local getsave = datastore:GetAsync(key)
if getsave then
end
end
return banned

why are you doing table.insert(#t, e)? it should be table.insert(t, e) abnotaddable 920 — 7y

Why put this in a module? More work to require it. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

For your use, I think instead of saving a consistent table, you should save separate keys to a Banlist datastore.
You have to use the SetAsync function to set the player's ID into a new key.
--Establish datastore
local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("BanList")
local module = {}; --Declare module's environment
function module.AddBanlist(userid)
local data = datastore:GetAsync(tostring(userid))
if not data then --If they're not already there
datastore:SetAsync(tostring(userid),true) --Add them
end
end
--Usage
module.AddBanlist(69913657);

+1, but you're not saving any requests by performing GetAsync - a blind SetAsync would work just as well. Recommended addition: function module.IsBanned(userid) return datastore:GetAsync(tostring(userid)) == true end Also, the module could be improved with error checking (since both Get/SetAsync can error) chess123mate 5873 — 7y

It prevents line 8 from firing if the datastore already contains the user. Goulstem 8144 — 7y

But you're right, it's not exactly saving any requests seeing as it has to call GetAsync to decide whether or not to call SetAsync. Goulstem 8144 — 7y
