How do I add Models and String Values to my dataStore?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

My goal is to be able to add different items like for example: Tools, Vehicles, and other models that can be furniture and house models, to my DataStore.

My script:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Game") -- Change the name to whatever you want, if you change it with existing data on th ename, it will NOT carry over.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local Data = DataStore:GetAsync("Player_"..player.UserId)

	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local Money = Instance.new('IntValue', leaderstats)
	Money.Name = "Money"
	Money.Value = 0
	
	local Level = Instance.new('IntValue', leaderstats)
	Level.Name = "Level"
	Level.Value = 0
	
	local Exp = Instance.new('IntValue', Level)
	Exp.Name = "Exp"
	Exp.Value = 0
	
	local max = Instance.new('IntValue', Level)
	max.Name = "max"
	max.Value = 0
	
	if Data then
		Money.Value = Data["Money"]
		Level.Value = Data["Level"]
		Exp.Value = Data["Exp"]
		max.Value = Data["max"]
	end
	
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local Data = {
		Money = player.leaderstats.Money.Value;
		Level = player.leaderstats.Level.Value;
		Exp = player.leaderstats.Level.Exp.Value;
		max = player.leaderstats.Level.max.Value;
		--Add any other variables you want!
	}

	local success, err = pcall(function()
		DataStore:SetAsync("Player_"..player.UserId, Data)
	end)

	if err then
		warn("There was an error saving data:", err)
	end
end)

You can’t really with instances, but you can with tables and dictionaries. add httpservice at the beginning then use this:

httpService:JSONEncode(myTable)

then save that.

When loading again, do this:

httpService:JSONDecode(JSONTable)

You cant save instances to a Datastore

Usually what I do is I save the instances Instance.Name instead, I have a folder in ServerStorage that contains all of the models, and when the script reads the string it finds an Instance in the folder with the same name, and I just clone it.
