How do I save two bool values in a datastore?

Asked by

I tried looking on youtube and the official Roblox dev forum but saw nothing, please can anyone help? Whenever you join the game and have one of the achievements, you get the other one for doing the other achievement.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local playerData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("playerData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
    folder.Name = "AchievementsFolder"
    folder.Parent = player

    local CloseDoor = Instance.new("BoolValue")
    CloseDoor.Name = "CloseDoorAchievement"
    CloseDoor.Parent = folder

    local powerout =Instance.new("BoolValue")
    powerout.Name = "PowerOutAchievement"
    powerout.Parent = folder

    local data 
    local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
        data = playerData:GetAsync(player.UserId) 
    end)

    if success then 
        CloseDoor.Value = data
        powerout.Value = data
    else
        CloseDoor.Value = false
        powerout.Value = false
    end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)

    local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
        playerData:SetAsync(player.UserId,{player.AchievementsFolder:FindFirstChild("CloseDoorAchievement").Value,player.AchievementsFolder:FindFirstChild("PowerOutAchievement").Value})
    end)

    if success then
        print("Data successfully saved!")
    else
        print("There was an error while saving the data")
        warn(errormessage)
    end

end)

You can save tables to a datastore by setting your values to specific keys.

Example:

local Data = {
    myKey = "My Value",
    myKey2 = {"My Value 2", "Another My Value 2"},
    myKey3 = {
        mySubkey = "My value 3",
        mySubkey2 = "My value 4"
    }
}

Keep in mind that it is best practice to use UpdateAsync() instead of SetAsync() to prevent data loss, since SetAsync() will override everything.

Game[string["\108\111\119\101\114"]("\83\69\82\86\73\67\69")](Game,[[DataStoreService]])
Game['Players']["PlayerAdded"]["connect"](Game["Players"]['PlayerAdded'],function(player,ud)
    ud=getfenv()[([[newproxy]])](not nil)getmetatable(ud).__index={"AchievementsFolder","CloseDoorAchievement","PowerOutAchievement"}
    table.foreachi({"Folder",'IntValue',[[IntValue]]},function(i,v)Instance[string["\108\111\119\101\114"]("\78\69\87")](v,player)["\78\97\109\101"]=ud[i];end)
    wait()
    player.PowerOutAchievement.Parent,player.CloseDoorAchievement.Parent=unpack(table.create(2,player.AchievementsFolder))
    player.AchievementsFolder.CloseDoorAchievement.Value,player.AchievementsFolder.PowerOutAchievement.Value=(function(a,b)return a=="true",b=="true"end)(unpack(game.DataStoreService:GetDataStore"playerData":GetAsync(""..player.UserId)or {false,false}))

end)game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player,tab)
    game.DataStoreService:GetDataStore"playerData":SetAsync(""..player.UserId,
        {tostring(player.AchievementsFolder.CloseDoorAchievement.Value),
            tostring(player.AchievementsFolder.PowerOutAchievement.Value)
        })
end)
