My Datastore is organized like:Datastore Name>Scope>PlayerId as key>Actual Data. So Key for each players data is their Id.

I know that When you set the key like I do it creates an empty list. What I'm having trouble with is reading this data and rewriting it.

I tried using Http Service and JSONDecode, JSONEncode but that way it saves one string and to access that you have to Decode and then take values from table manually. I just need help to know how to save tables correctly and do it in best way

This is my script which doesn't even work properly.

01local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02hs = game:GetService("HttpService")
03default_data = {["Money"] = 4000,
04    ["Houses"] = {
05        ["Standard"] = false,
06        ["Normal"] = false,
07        ["High"] = false,
08        ["Lux"] = false
09    }
10    }
11 
12game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
13    ds1 = datastore:GetDataStore("GameData123","01")
14 
15 
16    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",plr)
17    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
18    local money = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
19    money.Name = "Coins"
20 
21 
22    money.Value = ds1:GetAsync(tostring(plr.UserId))[1] or 0
23 
24    if money.Value == 0 then
25        moneyy.Value = 4000
26        ds1:SetAsync(tostring(plr.UserId), default_data)
27 
28    end
29

31 
32    player_money = ds1:GetAsync(tostring(plr.UserId))[1]--I try to get money
33    player_houses = ds1:GetAsync(tostring(plr.UserId))[2]--I try to get Houses as table
34 
35    function Update(money, standard, normal, high, lux)
36        money = money.Value
37        local new_value = {
38            ["Money"] = money,
39            ["Houses"] = {
40                ["Standard"] = standard,
41                ["Normal"] = normal,
42                ["High"] = high,
43                ["Lux"] = lux
44                }
45            }      
46        return new_value 
47    end
48 
49 
50    moneyy.Changed:connect(function()
51        print("Changed")
52        ds1:UpdateAsync(tostring(plr.UserId), Update(player_money, player_houses[1], player_houses[2], player_houses[3], player_houses[4]))--Then I use this values here.
