Transfering Data

Hello, developers. I am making a new game that is a series of off my old one. I want to transfer some of the data from the old to the new, like Cash. I am using the profile service modulescript as my way to save data. How would I transfer the data without using separate methods like badges?

If you want to do a one-time transfer, you can use the DataStore Editor plugin (it costs some Robux) and export the entire DataStore and import it into the new one.

If you’re looking to do a constant transfer (e.g. someone new [after the initial transfer] plays the first game, earns some cash, plays the second game, and has the same cash) you will need to set up your own server, collect player data there, and use HttpService to make requests to it to get player data. It’s pretty complicated but you should be able to find some resources to help you out there.

The HttpService requests method should work for me, thank you! I never thought of that.

What request/website should I use for this?

AWS offers some free services that might be able to help you.

Edit: Amazon DynamoDB is 100% free and probably the best option here
