As the title says, I’m trying to make the game remember when quests/cutscenes have happened. My original plan was to create a folder with a bunch of values and I save (datastore) the values of those values to show that a player has accepted/not started a quest. However, I plan to have a lot of quests and a couple cutscenes so I assumed this method would overwhelm datastores. What is another method for the game to remember when a player has not started/accepted a quest?

I’m curious, could you explain further why you’d use os.time() and not a simple boolvalue? Is there any particular reason for it?
I’m not sure the “when” in his question is literally the time “when”, but yeah I also just noticed that. But in OP’s case, it should suffice to just create simple boolvalue datas.
I do not see why you cannot use datastores for this. It would just be a simple true or false thing for each quest.
I was just worried that with too many quests it would cause datastores to have a long queue time of some sort (I’m not very familar with datastores, still learning a lot about them). But from what you and @astra_wr said, I will use boolvalues to remember it. Thanks for the info guys!
Optimize when you actually have to.

You will want to use datastores if you want the boolean values to save between servers.
