How to save a BoolValue in a DataStore System

Question

I'm trying to make a system that saves a value so that if the player has that value then he gains the powers of that particular item but I'm not able to make that happen. There are no errors in the output and the powers are not forwarded to the player, how can I make the Data store system work to save this boolean value? There are probably errors in my code. The code is below.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") -- pegar serviço
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlrData") -- setar as informações onde serão guardadas
local FrutaSalva = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Fruit")

local ReplicatedS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService") -- runservice

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr) -- se o player entrar
    local data = Instance.new("Folder", Plr) -- criar pasta no player que guarda valores
    data.Name = "Data"
    
    local exp = Instance.new("IntValue", data) -- valor
    exp.Name = "Exp"
    exp.Value = 1
    
    local levels = Instance.new("IntValue", data)-- valor
    levels.Name = "Level"
    levels.Value = 1
    
    local Points = Instance.new("IntValue", data)
    Points.Name = "Points"
    Points.Value = 3
    
    
    local expneed = Instance.new("IntValue", data)-- valor
    expneed.Name = "ExpNeeded"
    expneed.Value = 100
    
    local strenght = Instance.new("IntValue", data)-- valor
    strenght.Value = 1
    strenght.Name = "Strenght"
    
    local Health = Instance.new("IntValue", data)-- valor
    Health.Value = 100
    Health.Name = "Health"
    
    local char = Plr.Character or Plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    local charhealth = char.Humanoid.Health
    
    local DevilFruit = Instance.new("IntValue", data)-- valor
    DevilFruit.Value = 1
    DevilFruit.Name = "DevilFruit"
    
    local PlayerId = Plr.UserId -- id do jogador
    local PlayerData = DataStore:GetAsync(PlayerId) -- informações do jogador são pegas e se estiverem salvas então 
    local FruitGet = FrutaSalva:GetAsync("PlayerId")
    
    if PlayerData then
        strenght.Value = PlayerData["Strenght"] -- coloca o valor correspondente da informação salva na informação atual
        Health.Value = PlayerData["Health"] -- coloca o valor correspondente da informação salva na informação atual
        DevilFruit.Value = PlayerData["DevilFruit"] -- coloca o valor correspondente da informação salva na informação atual
        exp.Value = PlayerData["Exp"] -- coloca o valor correspondente da informação salva na informação atual
        levels.Value = PlayerData["Level"] -- coloca o valor correspondente da informação salva na informação atual
        expneed.Value = PlayerData["ExpNeeded"]
        Points.Value = PlayerData["Points"]-- coloca o valor correspondente da informação salva na informação atual
    end
end)

local function tab(Player) -- cria uma table com o nome de status do player
    local PlrStats = {} -- table criada
    for _, v in pairs(Player.Data:GetChildren()) do -- procura os valores na pasta Data no player
        PlrStats[v.Name] = v.Value -- pega os valores e os coloca na table de acordo com o valor e o nome
    end
    return PlrStats -- não sei (pesquisar)
end


game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Plr) -- conecta a função ao player sair

        DataStore:SetAsync(PlrId, PlrStats) -- seta os valores da table plrstats no id do player para salvar
    end)
    if not Sucess then -- erro no save alerta
        print(Result)
        warn("Erro no save (Preocupante)")

            Exp.Value = Exp.Value - ExpNeed.Value
            Level.Value += 1
            ExpNeed.Value *= 1.13
            Points.Value += 3

        if Strenght.Value == 0 or DevilFruit.Value == 0 or Health.Value == 0 then
            Strenght.Value = 1
            DevilFruit.Value = 1
            Health.Value = 1
        end
        if Strenght.Value > 100 or DevilFruit.Value > 100 then

Try storing the values as a string which you store, and then using an if statement to set them to their actual boolean values — ItsJustFunboy, Oct 11 '22 at 18:45

To save a boolean in a datastore, you can directly save a bool value into a data store. To do this, save it as usual:

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DS  = DSS :GetDataStore("MyDataStore")

local success,err = pcall(function()
    DS:SetAsync("key",true)
end

if success then
    print("Success!")
else
    error("Error: "..err)
end

If that doesn't work, try using 1s and 0s as a substitute, 1 would be true and 0 would be false. Code as below:

local success,err = pcall(function()
    DS:SetAsync("key",1)
end

Hope it helps! Happy coding!
