Hey, I’m making an event where players try to fill up a generator but it needs a lot so it’s across all servers. The issue is, how would I make it so all of them have the same progress exactly? (eg. 78%)
Players can contribute with stuff like robux or coins which I plan on using messaging service for but something like creating a new server and having it assign the global value is something I don’t know how to do. Any thoughts?
I believe ive heard about something called MemoryStore (not datastore) which could perhaps be applicable here? I myself havent tried it so i cant guarentee that you can use that but if you want you can give it a shot
MemoryStore would definitely be the right option for something like this, though developing the actual system to manage the progress universally would be a bit of an odd problem, as if 100 servers all write and read to the same variable you’re bound to run in to some issues. Definitely doable though
I wouldnt expect it to be incremented that often so that it becomes a problem but if it does i guess one could add a sort of queue system for the servers. altough the queue system may get overwhelemed with too many requests aswell
I believe messaging Service could help to gl 
Yeah I might need to do queues since itll automatically get small upgrades every few seconds on top of contributions from players, will definitely check out MemoryStore tho 
I also thought about the use of HTTP service and having an external server with the progress value that’ll be changed and copied by all Roblox servers?
try the easier methods first … 
Yeah I did end up using MemoryStore (in combination with DataStores as a back up tho), I was really thinking about using another database but that’s kinda extra
