A datastore is what you use to save things. Example; Say I want to save levels in a game I'd first create a folder and parent it to something. Then I'd create an instance.new of a intvalue for the level and put it inside the folder. Here's an example that would load on join and save on leave.
01 | local player = game:GetService("Players") |
02 | local SS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") |
03 | local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
04 |
05 | -- Creating the local Data makes a new table for the data to go into |
06 |
07 | local data = { |
08 | ["Level"] = DS: GetDataStore("Level") |
09 | } |
10 |
11 | player.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) -- Function to see a player join |
12 |
13 | local success, err = pcall (function() -- pcall to secure the data |
14 | local userID = plr.userId |
15 |
