So in the first donation board there is the datastorage script, and a person donated. So how should I move the data from the first donation board to the second one and what script?

Can’t you just click and drag it to the new donation board?

So guys if I want to move the storage from one to another, what should I write in key,value?

You can use the same key for storing and retrieving the data. Since a data key is local to the game.

You can just use the way you save the data.

When you retrieve:

DataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId .. "_donations") -- (key can be the same string you save your data with: player.UserId .. "_donations"

When you save:

DataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId .. "_donations", {})

Final Script:

The reason we use UserId is every player should have a unique data, or the data might get overwritten, I do prefer you to read about the DataStoreSevice api.

(GlobalDataStore | Roblox Creator Documentation)
(GlobalDataStore | Roblox Creator Documentation)
(GlobalDataStore | Roblox Creator Documentation)

local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

-- when a donation is made
DataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId .. "_donations", {})  -- the table refers to the data that should be saved 
{
   ["SomeValue"] = value.Value;
};

-- get the donation
DataStoreService:GetAsync(player.UserId .. "_donations")

Thanks!! But here it says _donations… What should I put before the underscore?

Player | Roblox Creator Documentation, the … is called concatenation, you can also format it.

string.format("%s_donations", player.UserId)

So i need to write the player’s id who donated…ok!

You need to create a unique key for every player.

You have to actually reference datastore service correctly and reference your values right.
You also didn’t make a function to pass over the player variable so now, it doesn’t know which player you’re saving data to.

I do have a datastore on my old board. And the person’s name is @ffeerrhhaatt .

I think you haven’t understood on how to do this, take a look at (Roblox DataStore Tutorial - Data Stores & Saving Data - Scripting Tutorial - YouTube), and use your own logic, it’s recommended that you’re clear with the basics on how to code.

I watched that before, but it doesn’t say how to sync data… so if you want I can turn on team create and you can tell me in the game what to do.

#18

You obviously do not understand what I mean. You referenced DataStoreService as a variable called “dss”, yet you used the wrong variable for “DataStore” and “DataStoreService”. If you don’t know how to use variables, I suggest moving down a level and trying something else without DataStores.

#19

Also, I’m saying that you didn’t specify which player you’re saving data to as you never referenced who the player was in your script.

#20

I did add his ID in the script.

#21

What do you mean by sync lol? I believe you’re a beginner, so I did suggest you to choose paths on learning on how to do this, this category is for helping, not for creating your system.
