Data saving for multiple leaderstats

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I have this script:

local DSService = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('Data1')
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	
	local uniquekey = 'id-'..plr.userId
	local leaderstats = Instance.new('IntValue', plr)
	local savevalue =  Instance.new('IntValue')
	leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'
	savevalue.Parent = leaderstats
	savevalue.Name = 'Smackouts'
	
	
	local GetSaved = DSService:GetAsync(uniquekey)
	if GetSaved then
		savevalue.Value = GetSaved[1]
	else
		local NumbersForSaving = {savevalue.Value}
		DSService:SetAsync(uniquekey, NumbersForSaving)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr)
local uniquekey = 'id-'..plr.userId
local Savetable = {plr.leaderstats.Smackouts.Value}
DSService:SetAsync(uniquekey, Savetable)	
	
	
end)

I’m trying to save 2 leaderstats, one for kills and one for money. Is that possible? I have one script for kills, one script for money and one script for saving kills. I’ve tried to change it many times but it only fails.

Try putting it all in one script like this:

local DSService = game:GetService('DataStoreService')
local Data = DSService:GetDataStore("Data")
local Data2 = DSService:GetDataStore("Data2")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	
	local uniquekey = 'id-'..plr.userId
	local leaderstats = Instance.new('IntValue', plr)
	local savevalue =  Instance.new('IntValue')
    local savevalue2 = Instance.new("IntValue")
	leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'
	savevalue.Parent = leaderstats
	savevalue.Name = 'Smackouts'
    savevalue.Value = Data:GetAsync(uniquekey)
    savevalue2.Parent = leaderstats
	savevalue2.Name = 'Name2'
    savevalue2.Value = Data2:GetAsync(uniquekey)
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr)
    local uniquekey = 'id-'..plr.userId
    Data:SetAsync(uniquekey, plr.leaderstats.Smackouts.Value)
    Data2:SetAsync(uniquekey, plr.leaderstats.Name2.Value)
end)

You can also do it with tables and stuff, I think

Haven’t tried it myself so I didn’t respond with a table.

First off, only use a few keys for saving data. DataStores are pretty mediocre and often can be finicky when saving numerous keys. Save everything under only a few universal keys.

And yes, you can save tables with DataStores. Add your values to a table and then when the player rejoins with the table, reassign the values of the player with the table.

plr.Thing1.Value == savedataepic[1]
plr.Thing2.Value = savedataepic[2]
