First, Thanks for roblox provide Data Persistance method for us.

I have 3 suggestion to improve/extend the save/load method in the games.

1. Save/Load data even the player isn't here.
-This is required to make the 2nd suggestion possible.

2. Load the data from Multi-place.
-Only if the places are from the same creator and LOAD only

3. A small data space to hold some value in a place.
-It will be great to create a hiscore leaderboard for a game, and more feature. I think a small amount of storage limit is enough.

I guess.. Maybe a new service

Instance DataSaveLoadService
--(Save load data when a player isn't in game. )
+:SaveString(Int playerID , String key ,String value)
+:SaveNumber(Int playerID , String key ,Number value)
+:SaveInstance(Int playerID , String key ,Instance value)
+:SaveBool(Int playerID , String key ,Boolean value)

+:LoadString(Int playerID , String key [, Int placeID ] )
+:LoadNumber(Int playerID , String key [, Int placeID])
+:LoadInstance(Int playerID , String key [, Int placeID] )
+:LoadBool(Int playerID , String key [, Int placeID])

--(Save load data to a place. )
+:SaveStringToThisPlace(String key ,String value)
+:SaveNumberToThisPlace(String key ,Number value)
+:SaveInstanceToThisPlace(String key ,Instance value)
+:SaveBoolToThisPlace(String key ,Boolean value)

+:LoadStringFromPlace(String key [, Int placeID ])
+:LoadNumberFromPlace(String key [, Int placeID])
+:LoadInstanceFromPlace(String key [, Int placeID])
+:LoadBoolFromPlace(String key [, Int placeID])


Sorry about it if I suggested too much. I just want to provide a better development environment for Roblox game creators.

(I am not native English Speaker. I am sorry about the grammar. but I tried to proofread this already.)

TL;DR:
1. Save/Load the data even the player isn't here.
2. Load the data from Multi-place. (LOAD ONLY and require same creator of both places.)
3. A SMALL data storage space to hold some value in a place.

I support this 100% :)

I want there to be a Highscore Board in the BW:TL game. It would show who the real players in he top are. The only problem with this is possible hackers would get on top of it

@d4rk886, I know someone who has hacked KOs to like 10,000,000 and they are still like that (he was hacked a while back - before I even dwelled on ROBLOX [he claims])...

He continuously has the KO amount...

I think his name was "MAGGITSniper" or something.. Luckily now, it has stopped saving the hacked KOs :D

I don't judge people cause they have visits on their game, if that is what you mean. I think of him like I do you.

So to me, he is cool now.

We have already suggested this in the Scripters subforum, and it is in development. Cross-place DP is also in development. One issue is that exploiters (if they do get in through .DLL) will be able to permanently save items/values on your place.
