Datastore saving boolvalues help

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey,

I don’t have a single clue on how to make Datastores or even work with them.

I’m trying to make something where if you buy something ingame with ingame cash, it’ll change a Boolvalue thats in a folder in Starterplayer to True.

I want to make it so when you leave, that true statement stays true since you bought the item.

How do I make a datastore script that saves the true/false statements in Starterplayer folder?

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can't answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.
Please Stop, i am willing to help but please follow the rules
Here is a script that someone made a while ago: (Credit: Kaid3n22)

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService") -- Data Store Service
local DS = DataStore:GetDataStore("Data") -- Creates a DataStore

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local PGP = {} -- Purchased Game passes

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local Data = DS:GetAsync(plr.UserId, PGP[plr.UserId]) or {}
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
DS:SetAsync(plr.UserId, PGP[plr.UserId])
PGP[plr.UserId] = nil
end)

Thank you, but how can I make it save the actual true/false statements on the Boolvalue?

I dont believe you can, you might be able to do this:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, GamepassId)
if not table.find(PGP[plr.UserId], GamepassId) then
-- if the Player doesnt own the Item
table.insert(PGP[plr.UserId], GamepassId)
else
-- If the Player already owns the item and is inside the table
end
end)

Call it:
LocalScript:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Event:FireServer("Your Gamepass Id")

Here, let’s do a stringvalue instead. I know you can save stringvalues.
Also these wont be gamepasses, they’ll be ingame things you can buy with ingame cash

It’s really bad to do it like that, exploiter can put any gamepass id in there, like if he has other gamepass that gives another benefits but it will trigger since player has it. It’s better to have id variable on the server instead of client and then check if the player has it
