Local script can't get datastore2 module in serverstorage

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#11

would the client look something like this?

local datastore2 = replicatedstorage.Events:WaitForChild("Communication"):InvokeServer()
#12

Yes, thats precisely what it should look like.

#13

and also like this?

event.OnServerInvoke = function(Player)
	require(game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("DataStore2"))
end

Sorry im just want to make sure

#14 
local Datastore2 = require(game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("DataStore2")) -- Dontrequire something everytime it invokes.
event.OnServerInvoke = function(Player)
	local Data = Datastore2(--[[KeyName etc]])
    return Data
end
#15

do i need a key name? or can i just put datastore2 by itself?

#16

Have you actually read the Datastore2 Documentation? Assuming your using this Datastore2

Can you send a screenshot of the code?

#19

The whole thing or just line 3?

#20

Just line 3 would help please.

#21 
local datastore2 = replicatedstorage.Events:WaitForChild("Communication"):InvokeServer()
#22

Your supposed to load data from the server, this won’t work on the client, even if it’s in replicated storage.

EDIT: If you look deep into the code of Datastore2 You will see that it uses regular datastore, but in a very interesting way.

#23

what would i do about this?

#25

#26

Can you send the full code (Client).

#27 
local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local armormodule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ArmorHandler"))
local datastore2 = replicatedstorage.Events:WaitForChild("Communication"):InvokeServer()


replicatedstorage.Events.UpdateInventory.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, armor)
	local template = script.Parent.MainGui.InventoryHolder.Inventory.Templates.Template
	local newTemplate = template:Clone()
	newTemplate.Parent = script.Parent.MainGui.InventoryHolder.Inventory.Duplicates

	local newArmor = armormodule.chooseRandom():Clone()

	local camera = Instance.new("Camera")
	local armorname = newArmor.Name
	
	local template2 = script.Parent.MainGui.Reward.Template
	local newTemplate2 = template2:Clone()
	newTemplate2.Parent =  script.Parent.MainGui.Reward
	
	camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(newArmor.PrimaryPart.Position + (newArmor.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 3), newArmor.PrimaryPart.Position)
	camera.Parent = newTemplate2.ViewportFrame
	newArmor.Parent = newTemplate2.ViewportFrame
	newTemplate2.ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera = camera
	script.Parent.MainGui.Reward.Visible = true
	newTemplate2.Visible = true
	wait(2)
	script.Parent.MainGui.Reward.Visible = false
	newTemplate2.Visible = false
	newTemplate.Visible = true
	
	camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(newArmor.PrimaryPart.Position + (newArmor.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * 3), newArmor.PrimaryPart.Position)
	camera.Parent = newTemplate.ViewportFrame
	newArmor.Parent = newTemplate.ViewportFrame
	newTemplate.ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera = camera
	
	local inventorystore = datastore2("Inventory", player)
	inventorystore:OnUpdate(function(currentTable)
		
		return currentTable
	end)
end)
#29

aren’t i using a local script?

You cannot update on the client, you must use a remote event to fire the client with the new data, the remote function seems to have no use.

What you need to do is, fire a remote event on the client telling the server to save the data through datastore2, and then make it so the server will save the data when the remote event gets fired.
