[DATASTORE 2] How would I access the same datastore from different scripts?

[BreezeOnTheDoor (Unceen)]

I want to access the same datastore 2 from different scripts. I have no idea where to start and I believe there aren’t any posts about this.

You just get the datastore like you normally would I think :GetDataStore(datastorename)

can I have two examples scripts? Thanks!

-- saving data script

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerDataStore")

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

function SavePlayerData(player)
    local key = "PlayerData_" .. player.UserId

    local dataToSave = {
        Coins = 1000,
        Level = 5,   
    }

    myDataStore:SetAsync(key, dataToSave)
end

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    SavePlayerData(player)
end)

-- loading data script
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerDataStore")

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

function LoadPlayerData(player)
    local key = "PlayerData_" .. player.UserId

    local savedData = myDataStore:GetAsync(key)
    if savedData then
        -- use the loaded data to set player properties, inventory, etc.
        player.leaderstats.Coins.Value = savedData.Coins
        player.leaderstats.Level.Value = savedData.Level
    else
        player.leaderstats.Coins.Value = 0
        player.leaderstats.Level.Value = 1
        -- Set other default properties as needed
    end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    LoadPlayerData(player)
end)

You can also use datastores in modules too
