You can still use it for it, it actually works, i figured it out later down the line though. You simply juse use the same key you used to save the data with, for example DataStore2(“Coins”, player) then to get that data from an ordered datastore, I’d simply call “Coins” and then whenever that data updates it’ll update on the leaderboard
That’s not using DataStore2 for ordered leaderboards, that’s using DataStore2 and ordered leaderboards.
local ToolsDataStore = DataStore2("tools",player)
local function UpdateTable()
local NewTable = {}
for i,v in pairs(player:WaitForChild("Backpack"):GetChildren()) do
table.insert(NewTable,{
Tool = v.Name,
ToolOwned = v:WaitForChild("ToolOwned").Value,
ImageId = v:WaitForChild("ImageId").Value,
InventorySlot = v:WaitForChild("InventorySlot").Value,
Stack = v:WaitForChild("Stack").Value,
MaxStack = v:WaitForChild("MaxStack").Value
})
end
print(NewTable)
ToolsDataStore:Set(NewTable)
end
player:WaitForChild("Backpack").ChildAdded:Connect(UpdateTable)
player:WaitForChild("Backpack").ChildRemoved:Connect(UpdateTable)
Whenever I try to set the table I just get this error:
DataStore2:518: attempt to call a table value - Server - DataStore2:518
And I have no idea how to fix it… Anyone have any solutions?
Line 518 is not anything that could give that error, make sure you are on the most up to date version (NOT the free model, which is no longer supported). What is on that line?
Just got the newest version from github. Now the error is on line 413. The whole error looks like this if it is to any help:
Looks like you have an OnUpdate function somewhere that is a table instead of a function. Using breakpoints here would help you figure out where you could be doing that.
You are correct. I had an OnUpdate that called a value instead of a function. Thank you so much

Does anyone know how I can reset/wipe all data saved by this module?
No
You probably want this: How to use DataStore2 - Data Store caching and data loss prevention - #187 by Kampfkarren
Edit: nvm. I managed to figure it out.
I’ve switched from OrderedBackups to standard. I am unable to remove data for standard.
I’ve tried the code block you created in the case of a RightsOfErasure request, but it isn’t working with the Standard setting.
DataStorage:OnUpdate() became deprecated, does this mean it will became broked in the future? I can’t use Cross Server Messaging Service due to it characters limit
DataStore2 has never used this function because it never worked. :OnUpdate in DataStore2 is its own thing that only reacts to changes made in the place.

I am trying to get a callback for saved data once a player leaves the game. I only need 1 callback instead of a callback for each key
After doing some research about the :AfterSave feature and I couldn’t seem to find a solution for my problem.
Does :AfterSave only work specifcally on keys and not masterKeys?
If this is the case, I assume the best practice is to listen to one key instead of every key that I have, right?
AfterSave should not be used with master key, nothing should be except Combine. It is fine to listen to as many keys as you want as long as its ergonomic to you.
why is there orange underlines?
code snippet:
local dataStore = DataStore2(combinedDataStoreInfo[dataStoreName], player)
dataStore:BeforeSave(function(combinedData)
for key in pairs(combinedData) do
if combinedDataStoreInfo[key] then
local combinedStore = DataStore2(key, player)
local value = combinedStore:Get(nil, true)
if value ~= nil then
if combinedStore.combinedBeforeSave then
value = combinedStore.combinedBeforeSave(clone(value))
end
combinedData[key] = value
end
end
end
return combinedData
end)Did you define DataStore2? Where did you define it?
it’s in the main module in the code
You have to require the DataStore2 module…
local DataStore2 = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.DataStore2) -- or where ever ur datastore2 module is
