i always used to think learning data stores for me was going to be a nightmare, this man proved me wrong in 15 lines of code

I watched videos for hours and didn't understand it but your 10 minute video was so simple and wall explained, thanks alot.

thanks for keeping it simple and sticking to the point, every tutorial I watched was just people giving awful explanations, trying to explain pcalls and other code separate from datastore overloading my brain

Honestly i don't understand why people think data store as something nightmarish. On the start it was annoying. Now it's nothing.

I only have one thing to say: Thank you so much for explaining this, now I understand datastores.

Thanks dude! You helped me overcome the hell of not understanding data stores. Can you also post a video explaining in more detail about data stores, such as what is pcall function and more?

thank you i've recently been struggling on data store and now after a lot of practice, i can make it from scratch!

Hey nice video, you helped a lot, suggestion: Could you make a video like this with datastores but instead it is where you buy something from a shop and the thing you bought saves in your inventory after you die and/or leave the game.

finally someone who EXPLAINS datastoring and not makes me copy their script

finally someone who explains the damn code

I've never really heard about Profile Service, but I'll take a look into it when I get the chance

I use profile service, because get and setAsync stops working after 200 players in your game in total. Profile Service is just a lot more reliable and it's great for server shut downs.

@@urnix69 gotta say I disagree with this. No disrespect either to you or the poster. Most of this information (and more) can just be read from the data store api page on the roblox documentation page. What is much harder is finding information about more complicated data stores. Look at somethibt like ProfileService or DataStores2. I guess this video helps understand it at a very rudimentary level, but nothing further than that.

how can i make gui button that adds value to player datastore?

tbh for me data store wasn't and isn't my worst nightmare cause 1st place for worst nightmare takes math and object oriented programming

Maybe data didn't save after leaving in the first place, because of how quickly the server shuts down. Add a delay, it helped me: game:BindToClose(function() wait(1) end)

@@rakirat640 the video EXPLAINS it in an approcheable way. basically i had NO IDEA how datastore works, but after watching this video which showed examples of using numbers, i used my brain to think of the other ways i could use datastore based on the knowledge i had.

i tried using this datastore script with a boolvalue, but it didn't work

guys heres an advice from me: dont make datastores saving only on leaving! Make it save every time coins change instead, because if its only when you leave, if you can drop coins in your game then you can make a dupe glitch on private servers basically player1 drops 5 coins to player2, player2 leaves and the 5 coins save, but player1 SHUTS DOWN his private server so the data doesnt save, so he has 5 coins again
