Global Tables and Table Data Save

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

How would I possibly make a table useable by all scripts? Like how you can have bool values and number value objects to save data and use it in GUI’s. My question in how would I do the same to tables because I want to save cars owned by the player and allow them to spawn them if they own them. I also need help with saving the owned cars to the datastore if possible.

I mean, you could put these tables in a module and then just require module from different scripts and you can just save a table with datastores too.

First thing, save and load data of Tables is the best thing I made in my life as a developer.

How you do this?

local ServerData = {}

   --EventToSaveCar(Player)
         local PlayerData = { ["Cars"] = {"MyFirstCar", "MySecondCar", "MyThirdCar"}
         ServerData[Player] = PlayerData
   --EndOfEvent

Or you can save cars upgrade too.

--EventToSaveCar(Player)
   local PlayerData = { 
   ["Cars"] = {
      ["MyFirstCar"] = {"Nitro"},
      ["MySecondCar"] = {"Tires"},
      ["MyThirdCar"] = {"Engine"}
   }
      ServerData[Player] = PlayerData
--EndOfEvent

To get tables, add and edit is easy.

local PlayerSpecificData = ServerData[Player.Name]
PlayerSpecificData = table.insert(MyFourthCar = {})

Or

local PlayerSpecificData = ServerData[Player.Name]
PlayerSpecificData.MyFourthCar = {"Nitro"}

This looks great! I didn’t even know that was a thing. And just a question, I can save this to a data save right? Also I keep getting an error that the table doesn’t exist. This is able to be pulled into other scripts right?

Yes. I show you a bit of my own datastore.

Here we see my ServerData [Table]

And here we load SpecificPlayerData [Table]

754×159 4.18 KB

Here we put SpecificPlayerData inside ServerData[Player.Name]

749×63 2.61 KB

And here we save table

817×157 4.46 KB

So I can pull the table into another script, or will I have to fire client/server?

#8

I had this doubt yesterday :cowboy_hat_face:

But ye we can pull.

I thought that when we pull a table, we duplicate him but not.
We call his ID, like a TABLE ID.

And when you change the table inside Script1, if Script2 has access to that table, will change too.

(Sorry if sentence is weird, I’m studying english at moment).
