PlayerTable

Player data storage and replication module for Roblox.

Status

Pre-release 0.1.0-alpha.3. It creates its remote instances when first required on the server.

Each field must be registered before it is read or written. Field definitions own the default value and whether other clients may read that field.

API

local PlayerTable = require(ReplicatedStorage.Packages.PlayerTable)

PlayerTable.server.defineKey("Coins", {
	default = 0,
	public = true,
})
PlayerTable.server.set(player, "Coins", 100)

PlayerTable.server.update(player, "Coins", function(coins)
	return coins + 25
end)

PlayerTable.client.observe("Coins", function(coins)
	print(coins)
end)

PlayerTable.client.observeOther(otherPlayer, "Coins", function(coins)
	print(coins)
end)

Both server.observe and client.observe return a connection that can be disconnected when observation is no longer needed.

defineDefault, setPublic, and setPublicKeys remain available for incremental migration from the earlier interface. getData is retained for compatibility, but callers should use get, set, or update so changes are replicated.
