How can you save a bool value or something with datastore?
So I just watched a video on Datastore and learned that you can save data even when you leave the server so here I tried to test it here look at my code but for some reason it won't save
I want to change it's value with an textbutton when it is clicked we turn true to bool value and when we click again it turns to an false value and changes the Bool Value which is Named choose to a False value and if i leave it False then it should say false and save it but it won't here is the scripts.
Btw The Enable Studio To API Services is turned on.
-- This is a local script on the TextButton when click it changes.
local Choose = game.ReplicatedStorage.Choose
script.Parent.Text = "Not Pressed Yet!"
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if Choose.Value == false then
script.Parent.Text = "True"
Choose.Value = true
elseif Choose.Value == true then
script.Parent.Text = "False"
Choose.Value = false
end
end)
-- This Script is on ServerScriptService
-- The Bool Value Which is called Choose is on Replicated Storage
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local GetData = DataStore:GetDataStore("ValueDataStore")
local Choose = game.ReplicatedStorage.Choose
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local data
local Success,error pcall(function()
data = DataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
if Success then
Choose.Value = data
else
warn(error)
end
end)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
DataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,Choose.Value)
local Success,error pcall(function()
if Success then
print("Okay")
else
print("No")
warn(error)
end
end)
end)

It is not being saved because you are changing the value on the client, and the server doesn't see the change. What you should do is use a RemoteEvent to change it on the server. Here's how you set it up:
-- create a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage, and set the name to "changeChoose"
-- this will be the local script
local chooseEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("changeChoose")
script.Parent.Text = "Not Pressed Yet!"
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if Choose.Value == false then
script.Parent.Text = "True"
chooseEvent:FireServer(true) -- we can use the arguments to our advantage
elseif Choose.Value == true then
script.Parent.Text = "False"
chooseEvent:FireServer(false)
end
end)
-- this will be the server script:
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local GetData = DataStore:GetDataStore("ValueDataStore")
local Choose = game.ReplicatedStorage.Choose
local chooseEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.changeChoose
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local data
local Success,error = pcall(function()
data = GetData:GetAsync(player.UserId) -- you should only make data something AFTER the pcall
end)
if Success then
Choose.Value = data
else
warn(error)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
GetData:SetAsync(player.UserId,Choose.Value)
-- removed this pcall because it is literally unnessary
end)
-- now for our remote event
chooseEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,status) -- first argument is always the player, then the arguments we passed on the local script
Choose.Value = status -- since status is false or true, we can set the value to it
end)
Remember exploiters can fire the remote and change it to false or true whenever they want, so depending on what you're doing you will be able to secure the remote. Edit: it was saying SetAsync was not a valid member of DataStoreService because you have to do it on the actual datastore, not the service. I've fixed the script.
