Is it possible without Ordered datastores? I need to use strings, so I can't use them.
COMMUNITY QUESTION
Getting every key in a datastore?
1 answer
No, but you can use OrderedDataStores to (help) store strings:
- Remember that the key can be up to 50 characters long
- If the string is small enough, you can convert the string into a number (though you have to write this algorithm yourself).
- If you know all the possible strings when scripting, you could assign each string a number and store that intead
- You could also store a number that refers to a specific non-ordered DataStore key that stores the actual string

You cannot get a list of keys that the data store uses. An ordered data store does not know the key it knows that the data is in a set order and can return this data.
