#27

Oh sorry, I misunderstood the question.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function OnserverEvent(player)
	local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
	local MyDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("MyDataStore")
	
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local Strength = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Strength.Name = "Strength"
	Strength.Value = 0
	Strength.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local Coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Coins.Name = "Coins"
	Coins.Value = 0
	Coins.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local Data
	local Success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		Data = MyDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Strength")
	end)
	
	if Success then
		print("YAYY DATA STORE")
		Strength.Value = Data
	else
		print("There was an error")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnserverEvent)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
	local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
	local MyDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("MyDataStore")
	
	local Success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		MyDataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Strength",Player.leaderstats.Strength.Value)
	end)
	
	if Success then
		print("Player Data Sucessfully saved")
	else
		print("There was an error when saving data")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)

I don’t really see why this wouldn’t work, although I do see somethings you might want to fix in your script.

For example your not saving your coins and defining a service inside a loop which isn’t really needed.

#30

Is the coin’s CanCollide set to false? Because if so the .Touched event won’t work.

You can try debugging your code.

local Coin = script.Parent
local Touched = false

print('Code: Running', Coin)

Coin.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
    if Touched then
        return print('Part already touched.')
    end

	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
    print(Player)

	if Player then
        print('Player found - Giving coins')
        Touched = true
		Player.leaderstats.Coins.Value += 1
		Coin.Transparency = 1
		wait(60)
		Coin.Transparency = 0
        Touched = false
	end
end)

Just to be clear, what actually happens? Does the coin value increase/become transparent? Or does it do nothing at all?

#35

leaderstats has an int value in it, i kinda dont understand what you mean but its fine.

#36

I am trying to ask what actually happens when you touch the coin.

#37

Look

18:19:05.897 Code: Running Coins - Server - Script:4
18:19:06.198 :arrow_forward: nil (x2) - Server - Script:12

#38

This means that the coin (or player) doesn’t exist, make sure the serverscript is inside the coin part.

#39

is the coin touching the floor?

#40

yeah but it still errors if i add an Local script i wondering why is it saying does not exist. I have screenshots and proof.

#41

yes but we told the script to make sure its an humanoid/Player

#42

It explains why it is printing nil though.
