Help with clan system

Hello! Right now, I am working on a space-themed game with crews(clans). Here are the features I plan on adding and how I am planning on doing them.

  • Datastore (Will be a string formatted as “CrewName/GUID” and this should allow for crews with similar names but different IDs. Also it will be a table with all the members and their rank)
  • Server selector lists the online members of you clan (Slightly unsure, I will probs use Messaging service, Datastores, and JobIDs)

With these two main things made I’ll also need to make

  • Checking (When player joins it grabs their last known clan and sees if they have been kicked or if the clan exists)
  • Leaving Clan (Updates the clan datastore removing them, unless they are a leader.)
  • Deleting Clan (Pretty self-explanatory)

So, this is my current plan for making crews/clans. My main question is if I’m missing anything, but I would also appreciate knowing how to make a clan datastore using datastore2 (From what I know you can only make keys assigned to a player) All help appreciated , Thanks!

Store what clan the player is in though their own unique datastore key and store a list of all of the clans in a separate datastore along with all of the data of the clan (Members, etc.)

Also it doesn’t have to be assigned to a player, a key can be any string.

Im talking about DataStore2. Can you can keys as strings in DataStore2?

#4

I presume so, I’ve never used DataStore2, but assuming you are able to save player data, you should also be able to use any key.

#5

Just tested it and it doesn’t work. It says it requires a player instance

#6

Just use normal datastores for storing all of the clans then.
