[SOLVED] How would I change only one value from a table using data store?
My datastore consists of 4 values, three being int values and 1 a bool.
Lets say that the bool value is currently true, but I want to change it to false.
How would I do this without changing any of the int values?
DataStore:SetAsync(key, {1 ,2, 3, false})
This works, however it also changes the int values. Is there a way to get the player's current values or somehow not change the int values?
I know you can use GetAsync, but how would I implement that into the SetAsync, if even possible?
Edit: This is in case I want to change a player's value from inside studio at any time. I do not need help saving their value when they leave/periodically.
Edit2:
I figured it out.
local First = (DataStore:GetAsync(key)[1])
local Second = (DataStore:GetAsync(key)[2])
local Third = (DataStore:GetAsync(key)[3])
local Fourth = (DataStore:GetAsync(key)[4])
DataStore:SetAsync(key, {First ,Second, Third, false})
Whats pretty cool is that you can do First + 2 or whatever to give someone a little bonus.

Is this what you mean?:
DataStore:SetAsync(key, {1 ,2, 3, false})
local tab = DataStore:GetAsync(key)
function changeKey(t, key, newKey, changeAll)
for k,v in pairs(t) do
if v == key then
v = newKey
if not changeAll then
break
end
end
end
return t
end
local newTable = changeKey(tab, false, true, false)
DataStore:SetAsync(newTable)
--the actual code is /\
--[[
Description of function:
[table] t = the table the key is in
[AnyValue] key = the key you want to replace
[AnyValue] newKey = the replacer for the key
[OPTIONAL][Bool] changeAll = change all of the keys in the table that are the same as argument 2 (key). Defaults to nil, will stop after finding the first key.
--]]
This should work. Don't worry about the optional argument, in your case you won't need it.
