How to check if its the players first time playing the game?
I am not quite sure on how to do this. I want to make it into an if statement.

you can check that by using this script
local datastore_service = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local firstjoin_store = datastore_service:GetDataStore("FirstJoinDatastore")
game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local bool = false
bool = firstjoin_store:GetAsync(player.UserId)
if bool == false then
print("first time player joins")
firstjoin_store:SetAsync("true", player.UserId)
elseif bool == true then
print("player has joined before")
end
end
hope that script helps you, i know it might be inefficiant but it works,
edit: removed that old stinky instance.new

The parent argument of Instance.new() is deprecated. Also, you need to do if bool.Value, not if bool. Finally, you don't need to use if bool.Value == true or if bool.Value == false, you can just use if bool and if not bool. lunatic5 409 — 5y

Yeah... don't say Instance.new('BoolValue', player) as instances with their parent command is depricated and will lag your game. greatneil80 2647 — 5y

As Doob_yyus mentioned, I suggest using DataStores, so that whenever a player enters the game, it checks if the player has the BoolValue set to true(or use numbervalues) if false then set to "True"
