What you've suggested in both links is pretty much exactly what the current data persistence API does - simply with different names or purposes. The current DP is fit for purpose, and incredibly easy to understand - with minimal knowledge.

No support.

Isn't this something close to the current data persistence we have already?

Not sure, so I won't give my opinion yet.

Wow roblox,was just a suggestion,my idea would've made saving data extremly easy..
And the link was specific to roblox..I guess roblox doesn't like things that make things simpler for people?
I copyed an exact script for data persistance from the wiki,and it didn't make sence,also,it didn't do anything...
Its really confusing..
*roblox sends me a warning because I suggested something that'd make things easier..
Yeah,real nice roblox..

Well making a wiki page was simpler then trying to type it all up on the forum
And I would've used roblox wiki,but this isn't actually something that is usable,so..its just so unfair....I took like 3 hours to get all of that together,and then they don't even pay any attention to what the link was..
Its a Suggestion/Idea,and nothing else,so why they hatin?

@Island,
Offsite links aren't allowed. The only exceptions are ROBLOX domain links, Youtube and Twitter links. There are no other exceptions.

There are no other exceptions. Also, to be honest, your idea is more confusing than the current API ROBLOX provides. Sure, you cut out a few steps, but it's still easier to understand ROBLOX's.

Yep,it was a great suggestion,especially as the current dp system..is like impossible to use,and extremely difficult to try and understand..if roblox implemeted my version(they could still use dp,the other could be a diff option)
It would be so much simpler!:

:findData("Dataname")--will see if there is previously saved data to the player
:LoadData("Dataname",path)--will load "dataname" to path,ex:LoadData("Kos",plr.LeaderStats)
:SaveData(path,"Dataname")--will save path to dataname ex:SaveData(plr.LeaderStats.Kos,"kos")
:LoadPos("Dataname",instance)--ex:LoadPos("position",plr.Character)--will move plr.Character to position
:SavePos(position,"Dataname")--will save position to dataname ex:SavePos(Vector3.new(0,0,50),"z50")
:LoadValue("Dataname",thing.Value)--will load the value of "DataName" to thing.Value
:SaveValue(55,"Dataname")--will save 55 as "Dataname""s value
plr.StoredData is where it would all be stored an example would be:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
repeat wait() until plr.StoredData
if plr.StoredData:findData("Kos") then
plr.StoredData:LoadData("Kos",plr.LeaderStats)
else
Kos = Instance.new("NumberValue",plr.LeaderStats)
end
end)

Mymy idea is very easy to understand,and people would be able to use it,even if they are sorta nooby at scripting,and in my opinion,dp doesn't make sence,I've tried to understand it,but it made NO sence whatsoever,if anyone could actually explain how "simple" dp is,please do..
