Hi! You probably should use #help-and-feedback scripting support category

Profile service is thing that allow u save player stats/data (e.g… coins, gems, inventory). It’s so much better than roblox’s datastore cuz it safer and have some cool features like global updates or etc.

isnt that for scripting? this is more disscussion-wise

  • Topics should contribute something to developers
  • Topics should encourage discussion

So that’s means u should use helping category, because u asking simple question. U should use discussion cat, when u asking question that will give discussion (for example some problem on roblox)

ok well thanks, now can you answer maybe?

Here, you probably didn’t saw that cuz i changed first message
In short You should use profile service for loading/saving player’s data

Learn it when you are professional … Don’t try to learn it if you haven’t learnt the basic concepts yet (Remote functions and events, servers, clients, datastores, player data, etc)

Unless you want to demotivate yourself.

learn datastores and players data, and learn how to deal with instances inside player model, then you can learn it, but don’t expect to master it in a few days.
