So this is my script where i should get when player create gang

local GangCEvent = game.Workspace.GangsEvents.GangCEvent
local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local gangds = dss:GetDataStore("GangNames")
GangCEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	print(gangds:GetAsync("key"))
	end)

So, if it is a table in the datastore, you could insert the gang name into the datastore by doing:

gangds:SetAsync("key", table.insert(gangds:GetAsync("key"), name))

Wait how do i get which text player wrote in textbox?

#26

pass it along with the remote event.

event:FireServer(textbox.Text)

and receive it like this:

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, name)
#27

Breeh but i alr have a on server event with Gang Remote event

#28

Just add it as another variable on the OnServerEvent

#29

Hmmm wait, but it will fireserver with textbox text nil, because by default is nil , i need after player entered a name and clicked enter(idk)

If that is hard for you, learn OOP. It will help you understand.

#35

I was trying to figure out a way to not use OOP but it would require a lot of extra memory usage. So, this solution that was the most efficient was this choice, lol.

@PhantomGame_Youtube I have a link to a post I made regarding the theory behind OOP. I will post it below:
