How can I put a table inside an existing table with DataStoreService?
I already have something to make a table, but it overwrites existing data. How do I make it add data instead of overwrite data? I already have
local savetable = {a.Name, b, c, d}
ds0:SetAsync("public", savetable)
to save it. But that overwrites...

Have you experimented with UpdateAsnyc? Pojoto 329 — 5y

Everyone I've asked has told me to use UpdateAsync, but I can't find anything on how to use it other than https://www.robloxdev.com/api-reference/function/GlobalDataStore/UpdateAsync which is a little confusing. keegaroo65 11 — 5y

Are you talking about adding data to the table as it updates? Or updating data? Anyways, I would use UpdateAsync(). B_rnz 171 — 5y

Adding data. Like a table already exists, but it ads a second table, without removing the first table. keegaroo65 11 — 5y

Got it. I just did
ds0:UpdateAsync("public", function(oldValue)
local savetable = {oldValue, a.Name, b, c, d}
local newValue = oldValue or 0 --oldValue might be nil
newValue = savetable
return newValue
end)
