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?

PersistentFloat · December 14, 2019, 4:08pm

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

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)

This is how you search using the data store editor: How to use DataStore2 - Data Store caching and data loss prevention - #287 by Kampfkarren

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

Kampfkarren · December 30, 2019, 8:39pm

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

Destructor57890 · January 2, 2020, 1:35pm

Ah. I was not aware of this. Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by this?

Are you using DataStore2:Combine() instead of DataStore2.Combine()? I believe the first parameter for DataStore2’s __call is the self keyword, which was never used at all there.

DavidTruthSeeker · January 4, 2020, 1:06am

I just fixed it b4! Thanks tho xD.

Kampfkarren · January 4, 2020, 1:29am

Yes, the release on GitHub is the most recent.

I have a question, when using get if we use

local thingStore = dataStore(“Thing”,player)
thingStore:Get(dontAttemptGet = true)

if thingStore is not in the cache what will it return?

Kampfkarren · January 14, 2020, 3:27am

It will return nil.

Joshchubi · January 14, 2020, 3:32am

How would I use the dontAttemptGet = true feature?

would it be store:Get( {dontAttemptGet = true})
