Which is better method of storing the data given from the datastore

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So basically whenever I get data from a datastore I make them into value objects so I dont overflow the datastore with requests, I put these value objects in the player. But I thought about it and think module scripts are a better solution. So which do you think is more efficient using tables or value objects?

What kind of data are you storing?

Well I have data such as twittercodes used, powerups owned, sword data ect. I usually user folders and place value objects correesponding with the sword name, from the data given from the datastore. Some people use module scripts, I was wondering if my way of storing data was inefficient or something

Your way isn’t inefficient, it is actually more efficient than module scripts.

#5

Oh, ok. So when would you prefer module scripts, or why would you prefer module scripts instead?

#6

How would you use module scripts in storing data?

Like this

AllPlayerInfo= {}

return AllPlayerInfo

Inside the datastore saving script:
local AllPlayerInfo = require(game.serverscriptservice.AllPlayerInfo)
local Datastoremodule = require(game.serverscriptservice.DataStoremodule)

game.players.playeradded:Connect(function(player)

AllPlayerInfo[player] = DataStoreModule.get(player)
end)

also this was just pseudo code to demonstrate it

This is definitely not as efficient as using values.

yah ok, ill see what other people have to say, I think I might move this to discussion
