Data as in all Roblox datastore data?

#3

Yes datastore data. Probably should have clarified that.

#4

There is no ā€œsimpleā€ way like a button press. You could try to manually copy over data with Datastore Editor but as far as I know, there is no easy way to do this.

Sadly we cant do it through a teleport script.

#7

Another place of the same game or another game? If it is just another place then I think you can just use the same datastore. If it is a different game then you could probably use httpservice

wdym, you can send data via TeleportService

Iā€™ve literally done it before, my question is if there are other ways to send data besides using httpservice

Unless 1 person teleporting from the old game to the new game brings everybody data than I cant do it.

#10

2 different games. Also I dont know what a Http service is, if you could please explain those or send an example.

#11

@DevRylen trust me ik what Iā€™m talking about, you wouldnā€™t have any problems sending data via TeleportService

#12

Again. Does it teleport everyplayers data who every played the game?

#13

You are basically sending information to a web server and storing info there. It is like a datastore, but you have more freedom and data is stored on the web instead of roblox servers

#14

you could send whatever data you want

besides it wouldnā€™t have to be a leaderstat value

Itā€™s extremely inefficient but it works, yes.

Old Place Script (server script):

local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("keyhere")
local TS = game:GetService("TeleportService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local data = DS:GetAsync('thedatakey')
    if not data then data = {} end
    TS:Teleport(0000000, plr, data) -- replace 0000000 with new place ID
end)

New Place Script (local script):

local TS = game:GetService("TeleportService")

wait()

local newRemote = game.ReplicatedStorage.DataRemote
local data = TS:GetLocalPlayerTeleportData()

newRemote:FireServer(data)

New Place Script (server script):

local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("keyhere")
local newRemote = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", game.ReplicatedStorage)
newRemote.Name = "DataRemote"

newRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, data)
    DS:SetAsync(plr.UserId, data)
end)

in cases where I want to send data(that wouldnā€™t be from a datastore) from one place(not another game, just a place in the game) to another, I think itā€™s actually helpful to use

besides you are the one who used TeleportService inefficiently

thatā€™s what I think personally

If youā€™re concerned about data being transferred from the old place to the new place, why donā€™t you just save some data from the new game you want to transfer the data over from, that checks who has and hasnā€™t had a data transfer yet. Then, it teleports them to the old place to teleport the player back to the new place to transfer their data back over.

Iā€™m not too experienced with datastores, so my response may not be as valid, but it makes sense to me, as Iā€™ve seen other games do the same.

If you use this method I donā€™t recommend using GetLocalPlayerTeleportData() and instead use
player:GetJoinData().TeleportData
