Semi-Modular Data System
Here I have created a Data System that can:

  • Create a folder containing Player Data
  • Automatically combine data tables when the data template is updated
  • Convert data to strings for debugging purposes
  • Convert Data Directories to tables

Instructions
First off, you need to create a folder called PlayerData in ReplicatedStorage.
Once that is done, simply just setup the data template with the values you want, and boom, your done :slight_smile:

Here is the Roblox model

The entire system is open sourced, feel free to change whatever you like :slight_smile:

Tip for your code: you can use the or operator.

It works like this:

if a == 1 or b == 1 then
    print("worked")
end

You can reduce a lot of repetition in your code by using or (getting rid of those elseif chains).

This is a great contribution, however there are some things you can do better:

  1. You should use or like what R0bl0x10501050 said.
  2. You should use the new task library that includes:
  • task.spawn()
  • task.wait()
  • and task.delay()

  1. I would recommend using :GetService() as it is the canonical way to get services, however this is not required.

  2. Instead of using repeat until to get the character you can instead do:

Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

or just use

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
end)

Thanks for the contribution!
