You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    when player reaches an exit unlock another level
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I do not know how all the searches failed
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I tried to use badges but It will get very expensive to make new ones for each level. I look for solution on developer hub but all of them have tutorials like gold for leader stats
    After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

Hello all I am trying to save/unlock a level when a player reaches an exit in my game.

For example:

There are 5 levels in the game and the player only has level one unlocked. When player reaches the exit in the first level they unlock the second level so incase they leave they can continue where they left off by clicking level 2 in the main menu.

I won’t post codez as this info Is pretty easy to find after one Google search

Try either using datastores, or if you have 5 stages, give a badge every completed stage, unlock button for stage 2 if player has stage 1 badge (use Badgeservice:UserOwnsBadgeAsync(player, badgeid)

What @Noobik35 was trying to say was that they’d rather have you learn it step-by-step instead of a YouTuber spoon-feeding you the entire way through.

Roblox Documentation
DataStoreService
BadgeService

Give these links a try. They will help you strengthen your ability to build on your knowledge.

DataStoreService allows you to save and load between play sessions. The main functions youll need to use are:
game:GetService(“DataStoreService”)
DataStoreService:GetDataStore(“MyDataStore”)

MyDataStore:GetAsync(key)
MyDataStore:SetAsync(key, thing-to-save-on-key
MyDataStore:UpdateAsync(key, thing-to-save-on-key)

For more in depth, read the article provided by Confident letter

As for leaderstqts, most YouTube tutorials use leaderstats so that when you make a coin int value, it displays with the player list. You don’t have to do it, but if you want to, you could

Hope I helped
