A NEW way to SAVE PLAYER DATA In Roblox Studio - Roblox Studio ADVANCED scripting Tutorial
If you have any queries relating to the Roblox datastore system, be sure to drop a message in my discord server, or drop me a DM! All resources provided below.
- discord.gg/8qygkyVz5Y
In this Roblox Studio Advanced Scripting tutorial, I will show you how to use Roblox Studio DataStores and Roblox Studio Buffers to Save Player Game Data for your Roblox Games.
To Begin in the video, I take a detailed review into using tables in Roblox Studio Lua and compare them to the new Roblox Studio Buffer type introduced in late 2023 / 2024 into Roblox studio. Furthermore, I delve into Roblox Studio Memory Management and how you can view memory usage in your roblox studio game development projects. This trick can be used with the new Roblox Luau Heap tool inside of Roblox. Next in this Roblox advanced scripting tutorial, I define the structure we will use to create a new Roblox studio datastore system using these buffer types and implement the system into Roblox Studio. Finally, I end the advanced roblox studio tutorial by going through some use cases such as using Roblox leaderstats with the datastore system and saving 3D objects into Roblox datastores.
This system is designed for immutable datasets that you should know the size of before running the game. I go through some examples of when not to use this system in your Roblox studio games, but these scenarios happen rarely.

For example, you can purchase a character, and then whenever you join back into the game, it will still be unlocked. Also, you can purchase upgrades for every character, which also should save. Looking for answers for the game I'm working on.

    I love your videos it's clear you put a lot of effort in to make it understandable and engaging - so thanks :) It's not really a programming suggestion but more of a suggestion for concept tutorials. I struggle with trying to think of elegant solutions for integrating multiple systems. For example if I were to create a CPR system, how I would make that work with a handcuff tool without bugs. Another example is if I wanted to have a movement system involving inertia synergise with a vaulting/ wall climbing system. I just have no idea what the best practice is to allow systems to work together. Another video suggestion is just coming up with game mechanics. I have lots of ideas but no idea of how to implement them. I'm sure you can think of games you have played where you have thought that their game mechanics are just brilliant and so creative. Do you have any methods or ideas on how to think of audience appropriate ways to bring a conceptual idea to life. An example of this could be if I wanted to create an in-depth yet easy to understand medic system. How could I allow 7 year olds to use it without it being too complex, whilst still challenging more adept players. Thanks for your time keep up the videos

    Don't do this. Buffers get encoded as base64 in JSON anyways, this will take **more** space than using a traditional data saving system. Binary data is efficient because each byte has 256 combinations in one character, but Roblox's datastore system can't actually store raw binary data, so they convert your binary data to base64. This means that if you have an 8-byte buffer, it'll get encoded into 12 characters- this counts towards MORE data usage. Not only that, but the way you're using buffers causes slower read/write times too- buffers are fast due to fastcalls and memory locality, this setup violates both! Buffers have very niche applications (primarily remote events) where they can be used, this is not one of them!

    • @Maskrade
      @Maskrade 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      even if they are stored as JSON, it is a benefit becusse we don't need to have names on keys. JSON sucks to save data because we rely on keys to know what everything is, with buffers, even if saved as a json and a base64 string, the serialization does not depend on keys, and they depend on the ordering of the data. to;dr: you're wrong, benefit is there, you just failed to see it.

    Good Video but the functional example is not quiet right if you want to use pure functions Per definition pure functions a deterministic and side effect free. Your For-loop Function has the side effect that it modifies the data passed in. For a real pure function, you have to return the new data. And the main benefit of pure functions is not that the code is easier to understand but easier to test, because the function will produce the same result every time regardless of program state or outside factors

    buffers are amazing with then i reduced bandwidth in my td game by a huge amount. for 100 moving enemy's i get 1kb/s also according to my calculations with this system you coud save 160000 block changes in a infinite generating minecraft world also assuming you only save the changes that are made like block broken or placed instead of saving the entire chunk. for example instead of saving the chunk you coud sacrifice 1 of those blocks and save the seed and when player re-joins load the world from the seed and only change the blocks that were broken or placed.

Now they used a different type of musket and a black powder special for it straight from Cherbourg, france! They are like snipers but arent that good at navigation. They were able to move on small ships or pyragua. Now in a fight, they were employed as sharpshooter in the crow nest and riggin! Hope you didnt gave up!

    @JayJay-ki4mi 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video. But I think there might be a better way of doing this. If the format of the byte changes, instead of manually converting the data would it not be better to create a new database? For example, v1 of the game you use database "profile_v1". If you remove something from the player data, you create a "profile_v1.2". If the player is using an older version, then you simply get the data from the old database and add it to the new. This will allow you to rollback, and reduces the complexity of the code. Thoughts?

      First of all you need to check what sizes your data will max at and use that size in your datasizes table (for a test maybe set ID 1 to 4 bytes) so [1] = 4 in the datasizes table. Next you need to check how you’re writing the data. When you leave the game, you are going to want to use the writeData() function, you’re going to want to use the buffer.writef32 function and save your coins values. Finally you need to read the data in the join function. Once you have done this, you can finally set up the kills which to update your coins value you would just read the current kills value and then add 1 to that and save it to the buffer using the write data function

      Depends on how the cost increases, if the cost increases in a linear fashion, then you can store the starter cost only and use a linear function to get the value to the upgrade cost (eg default cost * level * 1.5) something like that, if you want random pricing for each upgrade, then you would assign an ID to each priced item and store it as a separate ID
