How can you transfer one data from one server to another?
So, I am making a little place to where if i were to enter a command, like :save data [username] [increment # of rules they've broken], it would internally store the data, and if I were to call on it again, it would print it on that chat to the server. I thoroughly have no idea on how to do this, and if someone could help, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Here would be an example:
[epicly2000]: :save data Builderman 2 [Server]: Has incremented Builderman's number of rules broken by 2 [epicly2000]: :show Builderman [Server]: Builderman has broken 2 rules logs off then back on to another server [epicly2000]: save data Buiderman 3 [Server]: Has incremented Builderman's number of rules broken by 3 [epicly2000]: show Builderman [Server]: Builderman has broken 5 rules

If you have the actual datastorage setup so it saves you can simply use universes Use this and read trough it!
A DataStore is what you would use unless you plan on using an external service which you would need to use then HttpService.
If you have not use a DataStore before I recommend you first look at some of the tutorials to get a better understanding of what a DataStore can do. More importantly it is critical to know the limitations of a DataStore.

As a DataStores are shared between places within a universe allowing all places to access the same DataStore. This can be both good and bad.
Though it is up to you on the format of the saved data (within the DataStore limits) the simplest method would be to use the playerId with the DataStore function IncrementAsync as it focuses only on integer type data (whole numbers only)
Example of saving data:-
-- get the data store
local ds = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('test')
local function incKey(key)
ds:IncrementAsync(key, 1) -- inc the key by one
end
incKey('52555697') -- inc your key
This is just a basic example and the data store functions for saving and loading data should be put inside a pcall to detect any errors in accessing or saving data.
For the command part you would probably be best using patterns to split the string into usable data ie [command] [player name] [args ...]
I hope this helps
