If the value is only used after spawning, you can use default player_persistence hooks to save and load values. If you need it before spawn, you should write your own custom save/load system. Most people do fine using file i/o

Ok so how would I make the server read from a .txt file? Or if there is an easier way to do it.

Does it have to e able to save through crashes?

It would be extremely helpful for you to tell us what exactly you're saving and what for. Different saving and loading processes are useful in different situations

I just want to know if he NEEDS it to be a file saver/loader.

Ok so my friend had an idea for like a merit script on his server so if someone does somthing good they get a merit but it sucks if they leave and they go back to 0 so i want the merits to save

Well what you could do is use global variables, make one for each ID so that when the player leaves, it saves their merits and when they join it loads their merits.

Variables will look like this: $Merit::Level[bl_id]
To save: export(filepath,"$Merit::Level*");
To load: exec(filepath);
