How do i share datastores across places?

PhantomGame_Youtube · February 23, 2022, 3:03pm

What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
So basically i have an stat which is gettable by killing boss in other place, how do i transfer that stat in main game?
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
Idk how to do that
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I tryed to find any, but i didn’t understand a lot

My script in boss place:

local playersService = game:GetService("Players")
local dataStores = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = dataStores:GetDataStore("DataStore")

local protectedCall = pcall

local function onPlayerJoined(player)
	local StatsFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
	StatsFolder.Name = "Stats"
	StatsFolder.Parent = player
	
	local LeafStat = Instance.new("BoolValue")
	LeafStat.Name = "LeafStat"
	LeafStat.Parent = StatsFolder
	local success, result = protectedCall(function()
		return dataStore:GetAsync("Data_"..player.UserId)
	end)

	if success then
		if result then
			if type(result) == "table" then
			LeafStat.Value = result[1] or false
			end
		end
	else
		warn(result)
	end
end

local function onPlayerLeft(player)
	local success, result = protectedCall(function()
		return dataStore:SetAsync("Data_"..player.UserId, {player.StatsFolder.LeafStat.Value})
	end)

	if success then
		print(result)
		print("Everything success")
	else
		warn(result)
		warn("everything wrong")
	end
end

local function onServerClosed()
	for _, player in ipairs(playersService:GetPlayers()) do
		local success, result = protectedCall(function()
			return dataStore:SetAsync("Data_"..player.UserId, {player.StatsFolder.LeafStat.Value})
		end)

		if success then
			print(result)
		else
			warn(result)
		end
	end
end

playersService.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerJoined)
playersService.PlayerRemoving:Connect(onPlayerLeft)
game:BindToClose(onServerClosed)

I found some topics about that, but still can’t get anything

Is your boss place and main place in the same universe/game?
If so, they automatically carry over so you could create a datastore in place 1 and access it no problem in place 2.

PhantomGame_Youtube · February 23, 2022, 3:26pm

Of course in same, but how do i access it from other script like here is my main game script what line should i add?

local playersService = game:GetService("Players")
local dataStores = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = dataStores:GetDataStore("DataStore")

local protectedCall = pcall

Normally get the datastore as if you were doing it in another script from the same game.

Like that?
Boss place:

local playersService = game:GetService("Players")

	SecretStatsFolder.Name = "SecretStats"
	SecretStatsFolder.Parent = player
	
	local LeafStat = Instance.new("BoolValue")
	LeafStat.Name = "LeafStat"
	LeafStat.Parent = SecretStatsFolder
	local success, result = protectedCall(function()
		return dataStore:GetAsync("Data_"..player.UserId)
	end)

	if success then
		if result then
			if type(result) == "table" then
			LeafStat.Value = result[1] or false
			end
		end
	else
		warn(result)
	end
end

local function onPlayerLeft(player)
	local success, result = protectedCall(function()
		return dataStore:SetAsync("Data_"..player.UserId, {player.SecretStatsFolder.LeafStat.Value})

	if success then

Okay i made SAME datastores and folders, but i can’t share across one game places. I do not understand which line i need to add

PhantomGame_Youtube · February 24, 2022, 9:54am

This just do not work, could someone explain which line i should add to make it work

PhantomGame_Youtube · February 24, 2022, 10:08am

I made everything same except table result bcz in boss place leaf stat table is result[1] and in main game result[13]

KadenBloxYT · February 24, 2022, 10:14am

Don’t make it complicated, just re-call the datastore with the code above in any server script you need. (as long as all places are in the same universe.)

PhantomGame_Youtube · February 24, 2022, 10:44am

Every datastore is saved in a table, and i still do not understand how to access that value from main game script

PhantomGame_Youtube · February 25, 2022, 10:39am

Omg everyone say that easy, but no one can’t give me an solution bcz I DO NOT KNOW WHICH LINE I SHOULD ADD TO MY DATASOTORE SCRIPT TO GET THAT VALUE
