I haven’t used any datastore modules in my life so I might as well learn this, but I don’t think that it will be worth learning this for people who already use profile service,

How would I go about transferring from DataStore2 (considering I already have an active game using that module) to this?
Also I have another unrelated question if you don’t mind me asking, what if I don’t like a specific key name I set and would like to change it but perserve the data of that key

So datastore2 saves the data in a different key for different players
One player might be on key 274745
Another player might be on key 32
So first you would use the ordered datastore to find out what key they are on then you would load that key then you would save that data into SDM
If you want to delete all 274745 keys of that player it’s going to take you a long time to do that you might just have to leave them all there
To change key using SDM all you do is open both keys set the value from one to the other then destroy them both

I tried using this module and it worked for the first time however when i tried creating another script with your module for some reason the my data did not want to save:
--Character Customization
local RigDataFolder = script.Parent.RigData -- A folder with bool values, string values etc
local DataStoreModule = require(game.ServerScriptService.Modules.DataStoreModule)
local Template = {
SkinColour = Color3.new(0.6, 0.5, 0.4),
}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local PlayerID = player.UserId
local PlayersCustomization = DataStoreModule.new("Customization", "PlayerData", PlayerID)
local Data = PlayersCustomization:Open(Template)
if Data ~= DataStoreModule.Response.Success then
local Time = 1
print("Data store failed to open")
while PlayersCustomization.State == DataStoreModule.Response.Error do
if PlayersCustomization:Open() ~= DataStoreModule.Response.Success then task.wait(Time) Time *= 2 end
end
end
RigDataFolder:WaitForChild("SkinColour").Value = PlayersCustomization.Value.SkinColour
script.Parent.LoadPlayerDataDone.Value = true
PlayersCustomization:Destroy()
PlayersCustomization = DataStoreModule.new("Customization", "PlayerData", PlayerID)
Data = PlayersCustomization:Open()
print(PlayersCustomization.Value)
end)
I’v added last 3 lines of code to test if it saved and in the output i get nil. Am i doing something wrong?

You can’t save a color3 into the datastore
Use ToHex
To convert your color3 to a string
Also state and response are not the same thing
So
PlayersCustomization.State == DataStoreModule.Response.Error will not work
It finally works. Thank you for help and for this module 
I get what you’re telling me but how would I do it like the keys can’t be just numbers they have to involve the player’s id somehow right? Also for changing key names I would have to keep that bit of code for replacing forever cuz of how many ppl have that old key name data?
What I would do :
Open suphi datastore player first , if it is empty I look for the datastore2 key,if empty then just set your started data on suphi datastore player or if it is not empty then apply that data to suphi datastore player.
here is a example of how to extract the latest data from datastore2
local dataStoreKey = dataStore2Name .. "/" .. player.UserId
local dataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore(dataStoreKey),
local orderedDataStore = dataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore(dataStoreKey),
local mostRecentKey = orderedDataStore:GetSortedAsync(false, 1):GetCurrentPage()[1]
if mostRecentKey == nil then error("player does not have any player data inside datastore2") end
local playerData = dataStore:GetAsync(mostRecentKey)
-- if you wanted to remove all player data saved by datastore2 you would have to loop from 1 to mostRecentKey
-- WARNING mostRecentKey can be a very high number and this loop could take a very long time to finish
-- for i = 1, mostRecentKey do
-- orderedDataStore:RemoveAsync(i)
-- task.wait(6)
-- dataStore:RemoveAsync(i)
-- task.wait(6)
-- end
print(playerData)
don’t forget to use pcall as GetSortedAsync, GetAsync, RemoveAsync can all fail

Did you enable API calls in game settings under security?

seems like your note the problem
I don’t think that’s the same problem
Was there any more information from the error message?

Hey Suphi,
I’ve been loving your DataStore module and using it for a while for my game. Recently, one of my data save attempts only affected if I exit and enter the game. So, datastore saves but datastore.StateChanged event won’t trigger for this specific save attempt. This should trigger but it won’t untill I relog:
And this is where I update datastore:
Appreciate if you could help me.
