How do you make a Global Pet Exist System?

[samcampone (MVN)]

You guys know how games like Pet Simulator X,99 and many other have this “99 exist” for each pet? Well, how do you make it?

I was asking myself the same question and wondering how they manage to do this.

If someone knows something about this please respond, you could really help me.
Thank you guys

( I’m not making any game , it’s out of curiosity to learn.)

No I don’t know about Pet Simulator. But if “99 exists” means that only 99 of that pet exist then most likely each pet has something called a “UID” (universal identifier). The code only allows 99 to be created. And each pet can be tracked independently with the UID. This is important if individual pet stats can change and you need to differentiate between them.

Oh, I understand i’m sorry i used “99” i meant in like total, how do they keep track on all of them? And it updates frequently, so i was wondering how they did that… Thank you for responding

I don’t know about Pet Simulator specifically, and I don’t really understand the question but I can tell you general information.

If you wanted to keep track of who owns each copy of a pet then you can create a DataStore called “(pet name)” and store all copies of the pet and who owns it.

local dog = {
   dog_1 = 12345
   dog_2 = 54321
}
-- The numbers are User Ids

I don’t know if that helps, I don’t really understand the question.

Thank you so much, i’m sorry for not being clearer the first time but i looked up UID and topics related to it and realized how they do it, thank you again for responding.
