Can you save teams in a datastore?

Is it possible for teams to be saved in a datastore? What if I wanted to make an in-game crew system where you could create a team but when you leave the team saves with all your teammates still saved as well so when you join back it's all still there.

What? Please explain more. You want that when you join the game, you join automatically a team or to save some NPCs as your team memebers or to save real ROBLOX players are on a team with you... Explain more please. Aimarekin 345 — 6y

I mean there's like a GUI, you can create your own team, or crew then have it be saved so that when you leave and come back you're still on that crew. basicecstasy 122 — 6y

Yes.

The biggest problem is where you'll store the team. This depends on what you plan on doing with it. Can the team change? Is there a team leader? Can someone be in 1+ teams?

You might consider storing the team in the team leader's user id (along with the team name, who is in it, and any other relevant information); everyone else's datastore id could have something that means "go look for the team in the team leader's slot; their user id is ____"

If you meant a "crew" with NPCs (instead of players), then this is simple -- the player is the team leader; the crew will never be online without the player, so you don't need to store anything special for your NPCs; so you can just store the crew under the player's user ID.
