I’m not experienced with DataStores, so their script helped me adjust mine in ServerScriptService:
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local dSService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local sStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local data = dSService:GetDataStore("EggDataStore#15")
local function PlayerAdded(player)
local key = player.UserId
local plrFolder = Instance.new("Folder", player)
plrFolder.Name = "DiscoveredEggs"
for i,v in pairs(sStorage.DiscoveredEggs:GetChildren()) do
Instance.new("BoolValue", plrFolder).Name = tostring(v)
end
for i, v in pairs(sStorage.DiscoveredEggs:GetDescendants()) do
if plrFolder:FindFirstChild(v.Name) then
else
local vToString = tostring(v.Name)
local eggNoNumbers = string.gsub(vToString,"%d+", "")
local parent = plrFolder:FindFirstChild(eggNoNumbers)
Instance.new("BoolValue", parent).Name = tostring(v)
end
end
local discoveredDataStore = data:GetAsync(key)
if discoveredDataStore ~= nil then
for i, data in pairs(discoveredDataStore) do
local egg = plrFolder:FindFirstChild(data[1])
local instance = Instance.new(data[3])
if egg then
instance.Value = data[2]
else
if instance then
if plrFolder:FindFirstChild(instance.Name) then
instance.Value = data[2]
else
instance.Name = data[1]
instance.Value = data[2]
local instanceToString = tostring(instance.Name)
local eggNoNumbers = string.gsub(instanceToString,"%d+", "")
local parent = plrFolder:FindFirstChild(eggNoNumbers)
instance.Parent = parent
end
end
end
end
else
data:SetAsync(key, {})
end
end
local function PlayerRemoving(player)
local key = player.UserId
local discoveredDataStore = data:GetAsync(key)
local plrFolder = player:FindFirstChild("DiscoveredEggs")
if not plrFolder then return end
plrFolder = plrFolder:GetDescendants()
local eggData = {}
for i, egg in pairs(plrFolder) do
table.insert(eggData, {egg.Name, egg.Value, egg.ClassName})
end
if discoveredDataStore == nil then
data:SetAsync(key, eggData)
else
data:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
oldValue = eggData
return eggData
end)
end
end

It creates a folder full of BoolValues &, in those BoolValues, are more BoolValues. The problem is, it doesn’t save if their values are true or false. Sorry if this is confusing or a badly organised script, as I said, I’m not experienced with DataStores. Feel free to ask questions, thanks to anyone who can help!
Bool values was not saving for me either, then i converted them to string.
Saving the value
local bool = false
datastore:SetAsync("key",tostring(bool))
or
local bool = false
if (bool) then bool = "true" else bool = "false" end
datastore:SetAsync("key",bool)
Getting and setting the value
local data = datastore:GetAsync("key")
local boolValue = Instance.new("BoolValue")
if data == "false" then
boolValue.Value = false
elseif data == "true" then
boolValue.Value = true
end
Here’s my new script, do you have any idea why the values aren’t saving? Any help would be appreciated!

if plrFolder:FindFirstChild(eggNoNumbers):FindFirstChild(v.Name) then

Not gonna read ya code properly, however if the primary problemo is that the data isn’t saving, and there are no warnings or errors in the console, please checc that the Studio Access to API Services config is enabled.
Second of all, DataStores save tables, not singular types. Ya can’t save UserData types either.
Here’s an example for saving booleans in a Roblox Datastore, using DatastoreService
I haven’t actually used DataStoreService from experience before, I’d recommend ProfileService, a session locking promoting wrapper by @loleris
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStore Name")
local Success, Response = pcall(function()
DataStore:Set("Key", {
... -- Example: Egg = true
})
end)
local e = {}
table.insert(e,{"hi",tostring(false),"Egg"})
local dataService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local data = dataService:GetDataStore("test")
data:SetAsync("key",e)
Getting:
local dataService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local data = dataService:GetDataStore("test")
print(data:GetAsync("key"))
local suc, errorMessage = pcall(function()
for i, egg in pairs(plrFolder) do
table.insert(eggData, {egg.Name, tostring(egg.Value), egg.ClassName})
end
if discoveredDataStore == nil then
data:SetAsync(key, eggData)
else
data:UpdateAsync(key, function(oldValue)
oldValue = eggData
return eggData
end)
end
end)
if errorMessage then
error(errorMessage)
end
table.insert is used for when the setting of keys is unnecessary, in this case you’re adding a table in a table and that’s redundant, call the function on each of the types separately.
local datastoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local datastore = datastoreService:GetDataStore("eggs")
local suc, err = pcall(function()
local tab = {}
for i,egg in pairs(workspace.Folder:GetDescendants()) do
table.insert(tab,{egg.Name, tostring(egg.Value), egg.ClassName})
end
if not datastore:GetAsync("key") then
datastore:SetAsync("key",tab)
else
datastore:UpdateAsync("key",function(oldVal)
return tab
end)
end
end)
Getting
local datastoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local datastore = datastoreService:GetDataStore("eggs")
print(datastore:GetAsync("key"))
