How do I save data in a datastore securely?

Asked 226 views1 answers

I'm working on a game where I need to save choices from the player, e.g. custom characters, magic, level, stats etc. which are managed from the client. I'm currently working on the magic choosing system, which involves selecting a magic and clicking a button. This is all happening locally, but I want to store the data in a datastore. How can I do this without making it changeable from the client?

Edit: The button is a TextButton, just so you know.

exploiters can easily access datastores and screw them up and there is no way to stop them

no. the client can not have any access to datastores. you are largely misinformed.remote events do not supply them with access to datastores.

Resolved, not the best way but:

game.ReplicatedStorage.changeStats:FireServer(time() * elapsedTime() * number here)

That kind of works.

that still isn't secure, exploiters can still access it (you can't protect the data from exploiters)
