My data save for boolean values is not working…

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local ds = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("datatest")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local axes = Instance.new("Folder",plr)
	axes.Name = "axes"
	local Homemadeaxe = Instance.new("BoolValue",axes)
	Homemadeaxe.Name = "Homemadeaxe"
	local Normalaxe = Instance.new("BoolValue",axes)
	Normalaxe.Name = "Normalaxe"
	
	local dataofuser = ds:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
	if dataofuser ~= nil then -- anything but nil
		print("Found data for " .. plr.Name)
		Homemadeaxe.Value = ds[1]
		Normalaxe.Value = ds[2]
	else
		print("Replacing no data with new data.")
		Homemadeaxe = true
		Normalaxe = false
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	local datasave = {}
	table.insert(datasave, plr:WaitForChild("Homemadeaxe"):WaitForChild("BoolValue").Value)
	table.insert(datasave, plr:WaitForChild("Normalaxe"):WaitForChild("BoolValue").Value)
	local success,response = pcall(function()
		ds:SetAsync(plr.UserId, datasave)
	end)

	if success then
		print("succesfully saved data of " .. plr.Name)
	else
		warn(response)
	end
end)

	local datasave = {}
	table.insert(datasave, plr:WaitForChild("Homemadeaxe"):WaitForChild("BoolValue").Value)
	table.insert(datasave, plr:WaitForChild("Normalaxe"):WaitForChild("BoolValue").Value)
	local success,response = pcall(function()
		ds:SetAsync(plr.UserId, datasave)
	end)
	
	print(success)
	print(response)
	
	if success then
		print("succesfully saved data of " .. plr.Name)
	else
		warn(response)
	end
end)

local success, err = nil
		local attempt = 1

		repeat 
			success, err = pcall(function()
				ds:SetAsync(plr.UserId, datasave)
			end)
			attempt += 1
		until success or attempt == 5
		if success then
			print("Data saved")
		else
			warn(err)
		end

try this code

it did not work just to check is this the code?

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	local datasave = {}
	table.insert(datasave, plr:WaitForChild("Homemadeaxe"):WaitForChild("BoolValue").Value)
	table.insert(datasave, plr:WaitForChild("Normalaxe"):WaitForChild("BoolValue").Value)
	local success, err = nil
	local attempt = 1

	repeat 
		success, err = pcall(function()
			ds:SetAsync(plr.UserId, datasave)
		end)
		attempt += 1
	until success or attempt == 5
	if success then
		print("Data saved")
	else
		warn(err)
	end
	print(success)
	
	if success then
		print("succesfully saved data of " .. plr.Name)
	else return
	end
end)

Yes, is studio access to apis on by chance?

#14

yes it is, i have it for other datasaves

#15

Hmm, ood. I’m stumped. Are you sure the values for the axes are created when they join?

#16

dont they make them at the top of the script?

#17

Ah, theres your problem, your not looking in the axes folder when using WaitForChild!

#18

how would i revize it then???

#19

do

table.insert(datasave, plr:WaitForChild("axes"):WaitForChild("Homemadeaxe"):WaitForChild("BoolValue").Value)
	table.insert(datasave, plr:WaitForChild("axes"):WaitForChild("Normalaxe"):WaitForChild("BoolValue").Value)
#20

what did you change???You used waitforchild to?
