Creating a Daily Reward System with Datastore2?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, so recently I have been wanting to add a Daily Reward System to my game but when I looked up some guides and tutorials they all use Datastore. But my game runs solely on Datastore2 so if I were to use both Datastore and Datastore2 an error would occur which says “Datastore has been added to queue…”.

How would I go about making a system that uses datastore2?

Datastore2 also uses datastore so I don’t think it will really matter, just change the code, first of all you have to keep some kind of value to say that when the player has collected the reward, if they didn’t collect the reward the next day, reset it to first day reward

But whenever I have both Datastore and Datastore2 running in my game the warning will always pop up no matter what. Plus, I have noticed that most of them are using SetAsync to save but I am only familar with saving values that exist eg. Bools, Ints…

The thing is that SetAsync sometimes errors and resets data, you can save the previous reward’s date

local datastore2 -- datastore2 location here

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local rewardDataStore = datastore2("DailyReward", player)
    -- Check when the player has collected the reward using os.time()
    -- I personally forgot how to use datastore2 because I don't work with datastores that much
    -- But save the time when the player collected the reward, like a remote event
    -- Save it in datastore2 as os.time() when the player collects it
    -- I never made daily rewards in my entire life
end)

This is how I personally use Datastore2 which saves existable values that I can see, are you able to replicate anything from this?

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStore2 = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.MainModule)
--# Requiring The Module
DataStore2.Combine("Test","Cash")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local CashDatastore = DataStore2("Cash",plr)
	local Stats = Instance.new("Folder",plr)
	Stats.Name = "StatValues"
	--{Down From Here}--
	
	--#Gold
	local Gold = Instance.new("NumberValue",Stats)
	Gold.Name = "Cash"
	--[The ACTUAL Datastore]--
	
	--[Players Gold Data]--
	if CashDatastore:Get() ~= nil then
		Gold.Value = CashDatastore:Get()
		print(Gold.Value)
	else
		Gold.Value = 500000000
	end
	Gold.Changed:Connect(function()
		CashDatastore:Set(Gold.Value)
	end)
end)
