Hi, I'm trying to make a datastore that saves string instead of int as this is a weapon datastore. This worked perfectly fine but there are 2 problems that I wanted to fix. The first problem that I want to reduce the risk of losing data using my datastore and a way of doing this is by using UpdateAsync. I've tried using this from line 37- 36 but it keep returning a nil value so I'm asking you guys to help me put updateasync in line 35 and 53 section. The other problem with this is that I can't put too much data fast. I'm not sure how to explain this but when I try to add a boolvalue with the name of the weapons in my folder, I can only save it after 6 seconds or else I would receive this error "DataStore request was added to queue. If request queue fills, further requests will be dropped. Try sending fewer requests.Key = 185862361". Is there a way to shorten the time between data saving? Or else, I guess I would have to make the process of buying the weapons take about 7 sec.

local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("WeaponStorage")
local rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local chest = Instance.new("Folder")
	chest.Parent = plr
	chest.Name = "PlrWeapons"
	
	local stat
	local success , erro = pcall(function()
		stat = datastore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
	end)
	
	-- Create bool value for each of the string saved
	if stat and success then
		for i,v in pairs(stat) do
			pcall(function()
				if rep.Weapons:FindFirstChild(v)then
					local tag = Instance.new("BoolValue")
					tag.Parent = chest
					tag.Name = v
				end
			end)
		end
	else
		local tag = Instance.new("BoolValue")
		local tag2 = Instance.new("BoolValue")
		local tag3 = Instance.new("BoolValue")
		tag.Name = "Wooden Sword"
		tag2.Name = "Wooden Spear"
		tag3.Name = "Wooden Bow"
		tag.Parent = chest
		tag2.Parent = chest
		tag3.Parent = chest
	end
	-- Saving when something is added to the folder, I'm trying to make it similar to datastore2 so I don't have to save the data when the player leave which may cause some data lost
	chest.ChildAdded:Connect(function(new)  
		if rep.Weapons:FindFirstChild(new.Name)then
			local weapons = {} -- creating a table to put string values in
			for i,v in pairs(plr.PlrWeapons:GetChildren())do
				table.insert(weapons, v.Name)  --Add all of the name of the boolvalue in the table
			end
			local success, err = pcall(function()
				datastore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, weapons) --Tryin to change this to UpdateAsync
			end)
			if err then
				warn(err)
			end
		else
			new:Destroy()
		end
	end)
end)

-- Saving before the server closed
game:BindToClose(function()
	wait(6) -- this is so that the error doesn't appear, Key = 185862361
	for i, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local weapons = {} -- creating a table to put string values in
		for i,v in pairs(plr.PlrWeapons:GetChildren())do
			table.insert(weapons, v.Name) --Add all of the name of the boolvalue in the table
		end
		local success, err = pcall(function()
			datastore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, weapons) --Tryin to change this to UpdateAsync
		end)
		if err then
			warn(err)
		end
	end
end)

Is there a way to save string values using datastore2? because as I know, the only way to change the value using datastore2 is :Increment() but I'm not sure if it's similar to table.insert() for me to save string value using datastore2.

Help please, Thank you!
