That’s not what I meant. I was referring to how the Combine function actually works/how I retrieve data after combining data stores. I am very confused as to how Combine actually works.

#697

You’re not really meant to think about that, you just use Combine for the keys and use DataStore2 as you normally would.

DataStore2.Combine("DATA", "Cash")

-- later
print(DataStore("Cash", player):Get(0))

If you want to use this table as the default data, you can just loop over it and combine them all.

I think I understand, thank you for the clarification

I keep getting the error “Not running script because past shutdown deadline” when using DataStore2 in studio which causes the studio to freezes whenever I stop a testing session, is there any fix to this?

I require the the module using direct ID: DataStore = require(1936396537)

Hey there! :slight_smile: I remember some plans for an auto-combine feature, has that been implemented yet?

#701

As said several times before in the thread, this is a Roblox bug that is getting fixed soon.

#702

It has not, I haven’t had much time to work on it.

Hey @Kampfkarren why cant i just do it on another script for example i made the DataStore2 in my leaderstats and if i do it on another i always get an error i made a solution but the coins are 0 in value my blades are in 75 for example then i exchange it becomes 0 coins?

Hello, @Kampfkarren how I can access the offline players’ data with DataStore2 when I am in the game?

#706

This could be a feature in the future. Currently DataStore2 has no way to retrieve offline player data.

#707

Whenever I use a datastore, what does the name go under. For instance:

local store = DS2("Money", plr)

what would the data store name and key be?

Edit: If youre wondering it is for crazyman’s datastore edit module. I need it for testing

Not sure whether I am doing something wrong or roblox has still not managed to fix the BindToClose() error but out of nowhere I get these errors which I never had.

According to BindToClose 100% Infinite Yield - #107 by nsgriff

The BindToClose() error should be fixed (and it was fixed for me, I had no errors the whole day). But out of nowhere I get errors about using too many datastore requests… I haven’t changed anything for the past few days concerning DataStore2.

I am pretty sure I use DataStore2 correctly and it worked perfect for me the past few days (aside from the infinite yield BindToClose error)

I will just keep an eye out on this forum and hopefully I can find a solution… (I already tried a fresh version of DataStore2 but the errors stay the same)

DataStore2 won’t show up in my toolbox no matter what I try - should I just use the .rbxmx file?

#716

The model is deprecated, so yes. The release is the only recommended way to download DataStore2.

#717

Ah. I was not aware of this. Thanks!

#719

Not sure what you mean by this?

#720

Is the github release the latest? Just wondering because on github the latest version was released in september so like 5 months ago
