How do I make a datastore for boolean values?
I really want to make a game based on collecting keys, trophies, etc; I can't seem to figure out how datastores work, I've tried finding better aid via Youtube, but none of the videos expanded on how to save boolean values, I have an intermediate understanding of scripting, and I need a bit of help.

To save a boolean value to a datastore (x) you would,
local Data = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("x")
local Bool = true -- (or false)
local WhatPlayer = some player object
Data:SetAsync("user_"..WhatPlayer.UserId, Bool) -- data key, what to save to data key
-- to retrieve this data:
Data:GetAsync("user_"..WhatPlayer.UserId) -- returns saved data, in this case - true.

This is purely to help you understand how it works - it would not be smart to set up a DataStore in this manner. SummerEquinox 643 — 5y

It wouldn't be recommended to use SetAsync for updating the value. You should be using UpdateAsync User#19524 175 — 5y
