Roblox Script Not Getting The Actual Stored Value From a Variable?
I am simply at a loss for words here. For whatever reason, scripts are not reading the actual stored value inside this variable. I was attempting to make a datastore and it stopped working because the script was not getting the proper amount of money in leaderstats. But that is not important at the moment. What is important is figuring out why. When I run this very very simple script, it prints out the variable as it should. However, when I go to change the variable to true, the resulting output is still false. This goes the same for any variable type. I am simply baffled that something so seemingly simple is giving me such a headache. I would appreciate any help here.
while true do
print(workspace.Value.Value)
wait(1)
end
I also made a youtube video depicting the issue: https://youtu.be/t2N9k6b0F7k

Most likely the issue is that you are changing the variable on the Client (with a LocalScript) when you should be changing the value on the Server.
Your video doesn't show which mode of PlaySolo your are in, though based on what the angle of the player is, I'm going to assume you were on the Client-Side. If you wanted the value to print, you'd need to place the code you have above into a LocalScript.
This is because with FilteringEnabled set to true, changes are not replicated from the Client to the Server
Since you want a DataStore, you will need to use Remote Events to ask to server to make changes to your game's saved values.
