Basically, I am trying to add a name system to my game, But I don’t know how to make it work with the datastore and I am trying to not have seperate datastores, just one big one.
This is my datamanager script
-- Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
-- Dependecies
local ContentLibrary = require(ReplicatedStorage.Modules.ContentLibrary)
local GameConfig = require(ReplicatedStorage.GameConfig)
local DataStore2 = require(script.DataStore2)
-- DataStore
DataStore2.Combine("UserData", "Items", "Stats", "Additions", "Badges", "ActiveArmor", "Hotbar")
-- PlayerData
local PlayerData = Instance.new("Configuration")
PlayerData.Name = "PlayerData"
PlayerData.Parent = ReplicatedStorage
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Clamp the passed ValueObject (must be int/number) to the given bounds.
local function ClampStat(ValueObject: IntValue, Min: number?, Max: number?)
ValueObject.Changed:Connect(function()
ValueObject.Value = math.clamp(ValueObject.Value, Min or -math.huge, Max or math.huge)
end)
end
-- Create and return a stat value object, used for player stats
-- ClampInfo is an optional table for clamping it to a min/max. If you don't need it, simply don't include it.
local function CreateStat(ClassName: string, Name: string, DefaultValue, ClampInfo)
local Stat = Instance.new(ClassName)
Stat.Name = Name
Stat.Value = DefaultValue
if ClampInfo and (Stat:IsA("NumberValue") or Stat:IsA("IntValue")) then
ClampStat(Stat, unpack(ClampInfo))
end
return Stat
end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local function CreateDataFolder(player)
