how do i make one time colectables?

[cerulean heart]

im making a game about mushrooms that u have to find and collect, but i cant figure out how to make so that u can only get 1 at a time and i cant delete them after colecting bc its multiplayer
im using a leaderboard to keep track of how many u have and theres 18

use a datastore

You can send a message using a remote event
The server sends a message to the client containing the object then the client removes it (the server still has it)

oh alr

but i think im going for the database cuz i gotta use that somehow later

you should use localscripts for collecting the mushrooms because client doesn't replicate to server, so, in a nutshell, you could do something like this:

on the client:
**-> **spawn in the mushrooms
-> fire a remote event whenever a mushroom is touched, also deleting it (only deletes for the player)
-> maybe add a delayed function to respawn the mushroom (use task.delay(delayAmount, function))

on the server:
-> handle the mushroom's remote

thx, but i made a script that
-when a player joins checks if it has a custom file

• if he dosent creates one
• creates bool values for each mushroom
• if the value is false then it checks when a mushroom is colected it sets it to true and adds one to the leaderboard
• if its true and the mushroom gets clicked it says " u alr have this mushroom!"

You would need to use DataStoreService
