Hey, Ive recently been working on a small game project of mine. I wanted to add boost potions to the game but i dont really know how, i did something like this:

local DataCache = require(game.ServerScriptService.DataCache)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	wait(8) 

	local function countdownBoostDuration(boostType)
		while wait(1) do
			local Data = DataCache.GetDataFrom(player)
			local boostDuration = player.Data.Boosts[boostType].Duration.Value 

			if boostDuration > 0 then
				boostDuration -= 10

				player.Data.Boosts[boostType].Duration.Value = boostDuration
				print(player.Name .. "'s " .. boostType .. " Duration: " .. player.Data.Boosts[boostType].Duration.Value)

				if boostDuration == 0 then
					print("No more " .. boostType .. " boosts")
					break 
				end
			end
		end
	end

	for boostType, boostData in pairs(player.Data.Boosts:GetChildren()) do
		if boostData:IsA("IntValue") or boostData:IsA("NumberValue") then
			countdownBoostDuration(boostType)
		end
	end
end)

But im sure this isnt the way, if you think you can help me please do so!
