to set you use Game.setStorageValue(key, value)
and to catch a storage uses Game.getStorageValue(key)

so with Game.setStorageValue I will be able to track for example total premium scrolls used on the server?

like

Game.setStorageValue(PACC_STORAGE, (Game.getStorageValue(PACC_STORAGE)+1))

Edit: doesn't work

Shouldn't Game.getStorage etc etc... be on this list?

If you are asking for help you should at least try to explain the problem you're facing. Simply stating that it "doesn't work" isn't helpful at all.

Both the Game.getStorageValue and Game.setStorageValue are defined in the data\lib\core\game.lua file. However the values you set with them are not persistent, meaning they will disappear whenever the server is closed.

From what you mentioned, I assume you're getting the following error: "attempt to perform arithmetic on nil value". If non-persistent values are fine by you, all you have to do to fix the error above is slightly change your code to this:

Game.setStorageValue(PACC_STORAGE, (Game.getStorageValue(PACC_STORAGE) or 0) + 1)

On the other hand, if you need a way to save values in a persistent fashion, I can propose two other solutions to achieve that: create a table on your database and use sql queries, or directly save the value on a file in your computer. Let me know if you need further help with this.

thanks, I totally forgot about the nil value

here's what I made:

when first player logins, doesnt matter what player it will set global storage to 0 if it's nill (there must be other ways but I'm short of ideas atm

if Game.getStorageValue(GLOBALSTORAGE_SCROLLS_USED) == nil then
        Game.setStorageValue(GLOBALSTORAGE_SCROLLS_USED, 0)
    end

and in script.lua

Game.setStorageValue(GLOBALSTORAGE_SCROLLS_USED, (Game.getStorageValue(GLOBALSTORAGE_SCROLLS_USED)) + 1)
