How to store a value for each player when they join?
I am making a game in which players must escape from a monster, and I thought adding a boolvalue for each player to tell whether they have escaped or not would be a good idea.
However, I cannot figure out how to add the value to the folder when they join.
This is the code I have:
local player = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local EscapeValue = Instance.new("BoolValue")
EscapeValue.Name = player.Name
EscapeValue.Parent = game.ServerStorage.PlayerEscaped
EscapeValue.Value = false
Any help is appreciated.

Just store the names of the players in a table
local whoEscaped = {}
--when someone escapes:
whoEscaped[plr.Name] = true
--when someone unescapes or something:
whoEscaped[plr.Name] = nil
--when you need to check if they escaped:
if whoEscaped[plr.Name] then
print("escaped")
else
print("didn't escape")
end
--also make sure to remove them from the table when they leave the game:
game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
whoEscaped[plr.Name] = nil
end)
