Ordered Data Stores: Can i save a table?
I'm working on a game, and these ordered data stores are something new to me. I have all my data auto saving to the standart data store. But i want to create global leaderboards. The question is: can i save my data table to an ordered data store? Or do i have to save each value for global leaderboard to a new data store?

Hello, luachef!
No, you can't save tables on OrderedDataStores, but you can on normal datastores
Saving normal Values:
game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("DataName"):SetAsync("Stats", 255) --This will save 255
This will also work: (Table)
game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("DataName"):SetAsync("Stats", {7, "This", "Is", "A", "Table"}) -- This will save a table with 7, "This", "Is", "A", "Table"
And this will also work: (Dictionary)
local SaveMe = {
["Level"] = 5,
["Name"] = "Leamir",
["Position"] = Vector3.New(0,0,0),
["Table"] = {"This", "Is", "A", "Table", "On", "A", "Dictionary"}
}
game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("DataName"):SetAsync("Stats", SaveMe) -- This will save the Dictionary SaveMe
Saving tables or dictionarys change the way you do to get the data, you'll need to treat the data like a table/Dictionary
To make a global leaderstat, you should save the Local Leaderstats on a table and then you should test it for all servers, to se where it should be added on the leaderboard
Good Luck with your games
