So DataStore is where all of my game's players leaderstats are saved but someone hacked and gave everyone a whole bunch of cash and I need to clear all of the saved data. How do I do this?

why would you clear a data store of everyone's data that they worked for due to you not protecting your game correctly?

Rename the datastore. Where it says something like datastoreservice:getdatastore('blahha") change the blahha to something like bob or idk anything lol

exactly and it is your fault for allowing that to happen

if you simply change the name of the datastore, he'll come back and hack it again because obviously it's not secure

or you can put stats in ServerStorage and save it from there so hackers can't edit it regardless of FE

You could always just save and load the values straight from the DataStore from now on, instead of having any instances in the game tracking them.

why would you copy what i said with different context

also, if you can't script you shouldn't be trying to help others on this forum

@Lord_Narwhale

happy's message was obviously sarcastic.


@ZappleOfficial When a player joins, load their stats, when they leave, save their stats. Use FilteringEnabled and keep track of their stats on the server.
