How do I save data?

[MasterBroNetwork]

Hey uh how do I save player data with a Skript for like levels and all of that?

[_Tarna_]

What do you mean? You want to save player data like their level amount into a variable with skript?

[AWorthySon]

Heya

I think you are referring to Variables. If you would like to store a (custom) level, a simple solution would be to do this:

set {Level::%player's uuid%} to 20

or If you want player data like experience levels, you can simply do:

send "You are currently level %level of player%" to player

Remember a variable can store pretty much anything as long as it's a valid "type". Using Skripthub, expressions in green, those return a value or determine one. When you want to send an expression, it returns a value.
Many expressions can also be edited. You can of course mathematically add/subtract if appropriate.

set player's level to 20

 

I hope this provides an answer.  

Feel free to contact me or continue this thread if you need more help

Mainly on how to save player data so it stays after a server restart.

What type of player data do you mean?

All variables except local variables are saved in the memory until deleted. Whenever the server shuts down, it's written down into the variable.csv file. Unless that file is touched, variables/data WILL NOT be lost.

 

Example of "LOCAL" variables.

command /test:
	trigger:
    	set {_hey} to "hey!"
        send {_hey} to player
        
command /test2:
	trigger:
    	send {_hey} to player
        #This will NOT send anything.

Everything else are just regular variables, and will not delete unless you manually do it. You can change the value if you wish to.

Thanks @AWorthySon for your assistance!

So backing up data like scores and all of that is as easy as copying the .csv file?

Skript does everything for you. All Scores/data will be in the .csv file.

Don't touch it

There is an automatic backup system, you'll find backups of the variables.csv file in the backups folder, but yes, you can copy-paste the .csv file if you'd like.

Reminder: The file only updates when you close the server.

Thanks, good to know.
