Getting an Ordered Data Store Value for Player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I’m trying to make a way so I can get the value the player has. But, I ran into a problem. How do I get that one value without searching through the whole entire data store? I serarched up already, and the only “solution” was using HTTP requests. Is there any other way?
Thanks.

Edit: I guess the only solution is to loop through all ordered data store. Welp. Thanks for your help.

you should just be able to get the data through OrderedDatastore:GetAsync(players_key_here)

Hmm nothing saved. Here’s my script:

--Variables
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local cashData = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("CashData")


--Player Added Functino
function onPlayerAdded(player)
	--leaderstats
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Cash.Name = "Cash"
	Cash.Value = 0
	Cash.Parent = leaderstats


	--Give Data
	local PlayerUserID = "Player_"..player.UserId
	local cashPlayerData = cashData:GetAsync(PlayerUserID)
		
	if cashPlayerData then
		Cash.Value = cashPlayerData
	else
		Cash.Value = 0
	end
end

-- On Player Removing
function onPlayerRemoving(player)
	local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	
	--Set Data
	local sucess,err = pcall(function()
		local PlayerUserID = 'Player_'..player.UserId
		cashData:UpdateAsync(PlayerUserID, leaderstats:WaitForChild("Cash").Value)
	end)
end

-- On Bind To Close
function onBindToClose()
	for _, player in pairs(Players:GetChildren()) do
		local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
		
		--Set Data
		local sucess,err = pcall(function()
			local PlayerUserID = 'Player_'..player.UserId
			cashData:UpdateAsync(PlayerUserID, leaderstats:WaitForChild("Cash").Value)
		end)
	end
end

-- Connect Functions
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(onPlayerRemoving)
game:BindToClose(onBindToClose)
