I would like to know if you think it’s a good way. Firstly, I am using Firebase to have access anywhere.
Then, I created a script to create the data of the player from a format:
local FirebaseService = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild('FirebaseService'))
local database = FirebaseService:GetFirebase("players");
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
local dataFORMAT = database:GetAsync("FORMAT")
local dataPlayer = database:GetAsync(p.UserId)
if dataPlayer == nil then
local sendData = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONDecode(dataFORMAT)
sendData["name"] = p.Name
database:SetAsync(p.UserId, game.HttpService:JSONEncode(sendData))
end
dataPlayer = database:GetAsync(p.UserId)
local decode = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONDecode(dataPlayer)
end)
By the way, you can see the informations here:
I get the data of the player and it has been already added to the database so there is no problem in the if. But, now I would like it add the updates if I add new key+value on my database from my FORMAT.
For example, I add a new key whose name is “Time” which give the time in-game, then if it’s does not exist in the data of the player, it add it.
I guess I can use a for loop to search if the value exist in the player and in the FORMAT but I do not know if there is a better way.
Soo, you trying to do data store system, for player, if player is banned, what is rank ect… i can tell you, don’t use free kits, it maybe easy , but it’s not recommended, the best way is try to make your own system, i can give you my data storing system, this normal and advanced.
local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("plrData")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
wait(0)
local key = "id_"..plr.UserId
local stats = plr:FindFirstChild("stats")
print("stats located")
local money = plr.stats.Money or nil
local cap = plr.stats.Capacity or nil
local bag = plr.stats.Backpack or nil
local store = plr.stats.Storage or nil
local tool = plr.stats.Tool or nil
local data
local succes, err = pcall(function()
data = ds:GetAsync(key)
end)
if succes then
money.Value = data.money or nil
cap.Value = data.cap or nil
bag.Value = data.bag or nil
store.Value = data.store or nil
tool.Value = data.tool or nil
print("Data Loaded")
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local key = "id_"..plr.UserId
local data = {
money = plr.stats.Money.Value;
cap = plr.stats.Capacity.Value;
bag = plr.stats.Backpack.Value;
store = plr.stats.Storage.Value;
tool = plr.stats.Tool.Value;
}
local succes, err = pcall(function()
ds:SetAsync(key, data)
end)
if succes then
print(plr.Name.." Data Has Been Saved")
else
print(plr.Name.." Do Not Have Saved Data...")
warn(err)
end
end)
and don’t use json code, if you wan’t save something like this, it’s only key space wasting, remember!, you have only 4 mb to store on one key, it’s a lot for roblox data, but do not think it’s infinite
I know what you wan’t to achieve, you wan’t to save multiple player data, that are unknown into data store, you wan’t to save a lot of propertiess, this is another more advanced script, how i achieved unknown value save, it’s simple for me, but if you have any question, ask
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DS1 = DSS:GetDataStore("DS1")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local key = "id_"..plr.UserId
local data
local succes,err = pcall(function()
data = DS1:GetAsync(key)
end)
if succes and data then
for i, v in pairs(data) do
if v then
if v["Type"] ~=nil then
if v["Type"] == "ToSave" then
local new = Instance.new("StringValue",plr.Stats.Abilities)
new.Name = v.Name
local Type = new:SetAttribute("Type", v["Type"])
local Damage = new:SetAttribute("Damage",v["Damage"])
local Equip = new:SetAttribute("Equip",v["Equip"])
end
end
end
if i == #data then
break
end
end
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local key = "id_"..plr.UserId
local PlayerData = {}
for i, v in pairs(plr.Stats.Abilities:GetChildren()) do
if v then
if v:GetAttribute("Type") and v:GetAttribute("Type") == "ToSave" then
local Data = {
Name = v.Name,
Type = v:GetAttribute("Type"),
Damage = v:GetAttribute("Damage"),
Equip = v:GetAttribute("Equip")
}
table.insert(PlayerData,Data)
end
end
if i == #plr.Stats.Abilities:GetChildren() then
break
end
end
local succes,err = pcall(function()
DS1:SetAsync(key,PlayerData)
end)
if succes then
print("Saved")
else
warn(err)
end
end)
I don’t see a reason to use third party datastore services. If they go down, so does your game. If you’re not using it to save data between games, or through other programs outside of roblox, you should just use Datastores on roblox.
Yeah but there is not a way to check if any value in data does not exist? Like if you want to compare 2 players and if someone has not the key of the other, it add it.
