If one bool value is true then all others are made true too when saving data, why?
I have a folder that stores a couple of bool values, the folder is stored in ReplicatedStorage and I have a saving script that saves the values of the bool values, the problem is when I test the game and data works in studio btw, I have a shop and when I buy something the bool value of that specific item is set to true, then I leave the game, I rejoin and then find that all bool values are set to true and everything item is like "Equip" why is this happening when saving?
theres no error in the output, just prints that data got saved..
Serverscript: (saving script)
-- Services
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TagData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Test1")
-- Folders
local nametagPurchases = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("NametagPurchases")
local firstPage = nametagPurchases.FirstPage
local function getTags() -- A function that gathers all the Bool Values and are store in a table.
local Tags = {} -- The table the boolvalues are stored in.
for _,tag in pairs(firstPage:GetChildren()) do
if tag:IsA("BoolValue") then
Tags[tag.Name] = tag.Value
end
end
return Tags
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local TagValues = getTags() -- Variable that gets the table from the function
local data
local success, err = pcall(function()
data = TagData:GetAsync(player.UserId) -- get data
end)
if success then
for _,boolvalue in pairs(firstPage:GetChildren()) do -- Goes through all boolvalues in the folder and saves them one by one.
if boolvalue:IsA('BoolValue') then
boolvalue.Value = data
end
end
else
print("There was an error getting the tag values when player was added")
warn(err)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local TagValues2 = getTags() -- gets table
local success,err = pcall(function()
TagData:SetAsync(player.UserId, TagValues2) -- saves the data
end)
if success then
print("All tag values are saved!")
else
print("There was an error saving the tag values when player left.")
warn(err)
end
end)
pls help pls pls

The only thing I can see right now is that when you saving the data, you are only getting 1 piece of data and applying that same one to all the bool values, which is why they all have the same value. Due to this, you would need to create new data stores and name it uniquely to the exact value you want to apply it to, so that you don’t mix them up. Inside your for loop where you are doing “for _,boolvalue in pairs(firstPage:GetChildren()) do”, instead of taking each value and applying the same data, you can create a new data store for each boolvalue that’s in the table.
I believe this can be done somewhat like this:
for _,boolvalue in pairs(firstPage:GetChildren()) do if boolvalue:IsA(‘BoolValue’) then local BoolData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore(boolvalue.Name, boolvalue.Value) boolvalue.Value = BoolData end end
Let me know if this doesn’t work or doesn’t match what you want. I’m a bit confused on this as well. ;)
