EasyDataStores Module
Documentation | EasyDataStores.rbxm (17.9 KB) | CreatorStore Model
What is this module?
EasyDataStores is a new data stores module that makes creating player datastores so much easier and in terms of setting up player data, REQUIRING 0 CODE and primarily utilising instances instead! This module also utilises DataStores2 (By @Kampfkarren) for data loss prevention to further better the module.
How to use?
You can simply download the module and import it into your Roblox Studio project and add values and set them to what you want their default value to be before moving them to PublicPlayerData (leaderstats) and/or HiddenPlayerData. HiddenPlayerData can also include having folders for saving tables of data!
Additionally, You can customize your player datastores using the settings feature. Here you can save the player backpack (including death and rejoin), Customise what propriety’s inside of a folder (in HiddenPlayerData) is saved or even putting the new Roblox Analysis Service Economy Tab to use with the EnableEconomyTracking setting and so much more!
How is this useful?
This is useful to both newly starting Roblox Developers to more experienced developers on the Roblox platform. Suddenly what used to require lot’s of code and constent debugging is suddenly fixed and you don’t need to programme much of it!
Known Limitations:
- If you have been using the normal Roblox DataStoresService then this version will not be able to integrate as expected due to the introduction of DataStores2 module. For now you may need to do some additional programming to get this to work until I can intergrate the feature
- You can only update values or move instances to player data by a server script. Local scripts will NOT work as the server cannot see changes made by the client.
Whats to come?
- Better enable developers to intergrate from the Roblox DataStoresService to this datastore (DataStores2)
- Allow for developers to have a set team of users that can view and edit other players data. I was hoping to include this on release but I ran into a few problems.
- Fix any issues with the module that arise. Please let me know any issues or feedback about the module on this post
(Video Tutorial on how to use is coming soon)
