if i wanted to have a player's stats in one game and have it transfer to another when they enter it, what would i need to do this? i was told i cant do this with roblox only stuff so im trying to find out what exactly i'd need to decide whether or not it's worth too much effort.

Ooh, DataStores/Persistence or whatever. I'm not a scripter but had to play around with that for something I was working on. Ha. Have fun.

No, it's used in ROBLOX Universes. Like those RPG games where it consists of a dozen inter-connected places--games like that use DataStore/Persistence (One or the other, I can't remember: One's better than the other.) to transfer player files/stats/etc from place to place.

You have to create the game and then add places to the "Starting Place", and then have stats saved as strings (something like that--I don't know anything about scripting so I'm pulling all of this from when I skimmed the article) and have a script in each place to look at those strings and then recall the data. /edc6cl (Prnt sc) That kind of thing for the places/Game. ^

Its a datastore. If your game is FE'd then create a remote event, and fire it to the server. Then utilize roblox DataStoreService

Or if you have money and time, you can set up a web server. Then hook it to roblox's Httpservice and recall it's data through that
