The script I use is from this Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub with some added stuff. Here’s the entire script though the setdata and getdata functions are what I added.
--[Services]--
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
--[Data Stores]--
local dataStore
if runService:IsStudio() then
print("USING TESTING DATASTORE")
dataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("TestingV100")
else
print("USING LIVE DATASTORE")
dataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("LiveV10")
end
--[Remote Events / Functions]--
local dataEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events:WaitForChild("data")
--[Variables]--
