I am not good with datastores and I wondered how to use datastores between two places. I need to make a system which if player buy a skill, bool value change to true in other place. It is possible if it is how?

Yeah it actually is, just be sure to use your GetAsync/SetAsync functions properly, use your same BoolValues that you wanna load, have the same names when using the GetDataStore function and it should replicate across both places

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataName = DataStore:GetDataStore("RandomNameHere")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    local RandomBool = Instance.new("BoolValue")
    RandomBool.Name = "BoolToSave"
    RandomBool.Parent = Player

    local Data
    local success, whoops = pcall(function()
        Data:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
    end)

    if success and Data then
        RandomBool.Value = Data.Bool
    end
end)

It looks like solution. Thank you so much for help.

It is only if the two places are under the same Universe, otherwise you will need to directly use the GamePersistence API or an External Database.

Both in same universe. Thanks for this information too.
