Functions

​
Get(string keyname)

Returns the value of key. An example:

local DataStoreService = Game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Players = Game:GetService("Players")
DataStoreService:Connect("OnDataStoreLoad", __SCRIPT__, "CallOnDataStoreLoad")
Players:Connect("OnPlayerEntered", __SCRIPT__, "OnPlayerEnter")

function OnPlayerEntered(Player)
    DataStoreService:GetDataStore(Player.userId)
end

function CallOnDataStoreLoad(DataStore, user_id)
    if DataStore ~= nil then
        local PlayerCoins = DataStore.Get("Coins")
        if PlayerCoins ~= nil then
            printl("Loaded for player with id: " .. user_id .. "! Player has " .. PlayerCoins .. " coins!")
            OnLoadedCoins(PlayerCoins)
        else
            printl("Making player coins!")
            DataStore.Set("Coins", 10)
            while DataStore.busy do
                wait() -- waiting till the datastore is not done with processing
            end
            OnLoadedCoins(10)
        end
    else
        DataStoreService:CreateDataStore(user_id) -- once it is done creating data store, it will again call the OnDataStoreLoad signal
    end
end

function OnLoadedCoins(coinAmount) 
    printl(coinAmount)
end

​
Set(string keyname, value)

Sets a value of a key. This function will create a key if doesnt exist and overwrite if exists.An Example:

local DataStoreService = Game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Players = Game:GetService("Players")
DataStoreService:Connect("OnDataStoreLoad", __SCRIPT__, "CallOnDataStoreLoad")
Players:Connect("OnPlayerEntered", __SCRIPT__, "OnPlayerEnter")

function OnPlayerEntered(Player)
    DataStoreService:GetDataStore(Player.userId)
end

function CallOnDataStoreLoad(DataStore, user_id)
    if DataStore ~= nil then
        local PlayerCoins = DataStore.Get("Coins")
        if PlayerCoins ~= nil then 
            printl("Loaded for player with id: " .. user_id .. "! Player has " .. PlayerCoins .. " coins!")
            OnLoadedCoins(PlayerCoins)
        else
            printl("Making player coins!")
            DataStore.Set("Coins", 10)
            while DataStore.busy do
                wait() -- waiting till the datastore is not done with processing
            end
            OnLoadedCoins(10)
        end
    else
        DataStoreService:CreateDataStore(user_id) -- once it is done creating data store, it will again call the OnDataStoreLoad signal
    end
end

function OnLoadedCoins(coinAmount) 
    printl(coinAmount)
end

​
Remove(string key)

The key needs to be the valuename. An example:

local DataStoreService = Game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Players = Game:GetService("Players")
DataStoreService:Connect("OnDataStoreLoad", __SCRIPT__, "CallOnDataStoreLoad")
Players:Connect("OnPlayerEntered", __SCRIPT__, "OnPlayerEnter")

function OnPlayerEntered(Player)
    DataStoreService:GetDataStore(Player.userId)
end

function CallOnDataStoreLoad(DataStore, user_id)
    if DataStore ~= nil then
        local PlayerCoins = DataStore.Get("Coins")
        if PlayerCoins ~= nil then
            DataStore.Remove("Coins")
            while DataStore.busy do
                wait() -- waiting till the datastore is not done with processing
