  1. What do you want to achieve?

I want to be able to access a player’s data when they join the game.

  1. What is the issue?

No issue

  1. What solutions have you tried so far?

I did as much as I can researching API on the dev forums

--Local Script
local frame = script.Parent.Parent.userInterface.badgeFrame
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local inFrame = false
local shadow = Instance.new("TextLabel")
local shadow = Instance.new("TextLabel", script.Parent.Parent.userInterface.badgeFrame)
shadow.Size = UDim2.new(0,50,0,50)
shadow.Text = ""
shadow.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0.666667, 1)
shadow.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(.5,.5)
shadow.Visible = false


local blueBadgeData = {}
frame.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		local absPos = frame.AbsolutePosition
		local badge = Instance.new("TextLabel", script.Parent.Parent.userInterface.badgeFrame)
		badge.Size = UDim2.new(0,50,0,50)
		badge.Text = ""
		badge.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0.666667, 1)
		badge.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(.5,.5)
		badge.Position = UDim2.new(0,mouse.X-absPos.X,0,mouse.Y-absPos.Y)
		print(badge.Position)
		table.insert(blueBadgeData,1,badge.Position)
		game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("badgeStorageEvents"):WaitForChild("blueBadge"):FireServer(badge.AbsolutePosition.X, badge.AbsolutePosition.Y)
	end
end)

frame.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
	inFrame = true
	shadow.Visible=true
	while wait() do
		local absPos = frame.AbsolutePosition
		shadow.Position = UDim2.new(0,mouse.X-absPos.X,0,mouse.Y-absPos.Y)
		if inFrame == false then 
			break
		end
	end
end)

frame.MouseLeave:Connect(function()
	inFrame = false
	shadow.Visible=false
end)
--Server Recieving Script
local repStorage = game:WaitForChild("ReplicatedStorage")
local blueBadgeEvent = repStorage.badgeStorageEvents:WaitForChild("blueBadge")

local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local badgeStorage = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("badgeStorage")

blueBadgeEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player,x, y)
	local id = player.UserId
	local setsuccess, iserror = pcall(function()
		badgeStorage:SetAsync(id, x)
		badgeStorage:SetAsync(id, y)
	end)
	if not setsuccess then
		warn(iserror)
	end
	local getSuccess, data = pcall(function()
		return badgeStorage:GetAsync(id)
	end)
	if getSuccess then 
		
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local id=player.UserId
	local storage = badgeStorage:GetAsync(id)
	print(storage)
end)

You have to use a server script to access datastores, local scripts won’t work in that case.

He did comment this, but I’m unsure if he forgot to split the 2 code blocks

But yeah DataStores can only work from the server-side, another thing I’d suggest is to always encase your DataStore functions in pcalls to prevent the script from erroring (Since I don’t see that you’re checking if the Data is not nil or not in your GetAsync function)
