Data stores are a storage feature for Roblox games. They can be used to save data which should persist between game sessions, including items in a player’s inventory, experience points, or almost anything else. Data stores are shared per game, so any place in a game, including places in different servers, can access and change the same data. Roblox is the ultimate virtual universe that lets you play, create, and be anything you can imagine. Join millions of players and discover an infinite variety of immersive worlds created by a global community! ROBLOX RULES BUT A FEW PROBLEMS I am addicted to this game I literally play this for five hours per day haha 😂 plus you play tubs of games like adopt me (my fav), Brookhaven and soooo many obby games and I love that you can play with your BFFs but there is one problem (don’t get worried bc it is not ur fault) I hate that people can hack you because for example idk when maybe three weeks.

Data stores are a storage feature for Roblox games. They can be used to save data which should persist between game sessions, including items in a player’s inventory, experience points, or almost anything else.

Data stores are shared per game, so any place in a game, including places in different servers, can access and change the same data.

Today I go into the group recruitment plaza that we're all not allowed in and I eventually find myself in a Target store on Roblox and I have a great time wi.

Structure

A data store is essentially a dictionary, like a Lua table. Each value in the data store can be indexed by a unique key which includes the player’s Player/UserId|UserId, for instance:

KeyValue
Player_123450
Player_234520
Player_746278000
Player_89341200
Player_103450

Data Store Access

Roblox Store

Data stores are managed by DataStoreService, so your scripts must get the service before doing much else.

Once you’ve included DataStoreService in your script, a data store can be accessed by name using the DataStoreService/GetDataStore|GetDataStore() function. For example:

Data stores can only be accessed by the server through Script|Scripts. Attempting client-side access in a LocalScript will cause an error.

Managing a Data Store

Setting Data

GlobalDataStore/SetAsync|SetAsync() sets the value of a new data store entry. This function requires the key name of the entry and the value to set.

Functions like GlobalDataStore/SetAsync|SetAsync() that access a data store's contents are network calls that may occasionally fail. As shown above, it's recommended that these calls be wrapped in pcall() to catch and handle errors.

GlobalDataStore/SetAsync|SetAsync() can be hazardous since it overwrites any value currently in the entry. If you're updating an existing entry, GlobalDataStore/UpdateAsync|UpdateAsync() is recommended because it considers the old value before making changes.

Reading Data

The GlobalDataStore/GetAsync|GetAsync() function reads the value of a data store entry. It requires just the key name of the entry.

Incrementing Data

GlobalDataStore/IncrementAsync|IncrementAsync() changes a numerical value in a data store. This function requires the key name of the entry and a number indicating how much to change the value.

Updating Data

GlobalDataStore/UpdateAsync|UpdateAsync() changes any stored value in a data store. This function requires the key name of the entry plus a function which defines how the entry should be updated. This function takes the current value and returns the new value, based on whatever logic you define.

The function passed into GlobalDataStore/UpdateAsync|UpdateAsync() is not permitted to yield, so it cannot contain any yielding function like wait().

Removing Data

GlobalDataStore/RemoveAsync|RemoveAsync() removes an entry and returns the value that was associated with the key.

Ordered Data Stores

Regular data stores do not sort their content. This isn’t a concern for many games, but sometimes it’s useful to get data in an ordered fashion, like leaderboard stats.

Roblox Store Codes

An OrderedDataStore is a special type of data store that can:

  • Easily return its content in a sorted order.
  • Return multiple records in one request (versus a regular data store where you can only request one entry at a time).

An ordered data store uses the same functions as a regular data store including GlobalDataStore/GetAsync|GetAsync(), GlobalDataStore/SetAsync|SetAsync(), GlobalDataStore/UpdateAsync|UpdateAsync(), etc. In addition, it provides the OrderedDataStore/GetSortedAsync|GetSortedAsync() function which accepts parameters for the “page size” of the returned DataStorePages object, the sort order, and minimum/maximum values.

Consider an ordered data store populated with five characters and their ages. This example sorts the data into pages with 3 entries each, in descending order, then loops through the pages and outputs each character’s name/age.

Limits, Queuing and Handling Errors

Requests to data stores, like all network calls, may occasionally fail due to poor connectivity or other issues. As you’ve seen throughout this article, it’s important to wrap data store commands in pcall() and handle any resulting errors. Every data store error message contains an error code that you can cross-reference in the Articles/Datastore Errors|Data Store Errors and Limits tables.

In addition, there are limits applied to the data store model. If a game exceeds these limits, the Roblox engine will automatically throttle the game’s data store usage, causing data requests to take longer. These requests are placed into a queue, which is described further on the Articles/Datastore Errors article.

Using Data Stores in Studio

By default, places simulated in Studio do not have access to data stores, so any request function like GlobalDataStore/SetAsync|SetAsync() or GlobalDataStore/GetAsync|GetAsync() will cause an error if called from Studio.

If desired, data stores can be enabled in Studio as follows:

  1. From the Home tab, open the Game Settings window.
  1. In the Options section, turn on Enable Studio Access to API Services.
  2. Click Save to register your changes.

Roblox Store

Accessing data stores in Studio can be dangerous for live games because Studio accesses the same data stores as the client application. To avoid overwriting production data, you should not to enable this setting for live games — instead, enable it for a separate test version of the game.
If you are not editing a place through the Roblox website (for example a local .rbxl file), you will need to call DataModel/SetPlaceId|SetPlaceId() in the Command Bar before an in-Studio game can access a data store.
