Ok so I had leaderstats already but, I was trying to get a data save too but when I changed script data save nor leaderstats were there. what’s wrong?

dss = game:GetService(“DataStoreService”)

local DataStoreToKeep = dss:GetDataStore(“TypeWhatYouWanthere”)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local is = Instance.new(“Folder”,player)
is.Name = “leaderstats”

local money = Instance.new(“IntValue”,is)
money.Name = “Money”
money.Value = 0

local data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
data = DataStoreToKeep:GetAsync(player.UserId…"~money")
end)
if success then
money.Value = data
else
warn(errormessage)
end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
DataStoreToKeep:GetAsync(player.UserId…"~money",player.leaderstats.Money.Value)
end)
if success then
else
warn(errormessage)
end
end)

:GetAsync() only has 1 parameter (string).

Try adding a :BindToClose() function at then end of your script:

game:BindToClose(function()
    for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        DataStoreToKeep:SetAsync(player.UserId.."~money", player.leaderstats.Money.Value)
    end
end)

You made a small typo :slight_smile: . In the Players.PlayerRemoving event function you want to set the data using :SetAsync() not :GetAsync(). No worries. I get typing mistakes all the time! Remember to post this as your solution if it works!

If you look at the pictures, you can see that he already solved that mistake.

If you look at my recent comment, that still didn’t work… is there anything else that’s wrong?

Completely at the end, behind the PlayerRemoving event

No, put the whole code at the end of the script, not inside the removing function.

:BindToClose Is a seperate function than PlayerRemoving. You would want to put the BindToClose part under the Players.PlayerRemoving.

I know you’re probably busy but can you just script it for me.

I’m on Mobile, so if it looks weird i’m sorry:

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
DataStoreToKeep:SetAsync(player.UserId.."~money",player.leaderstats.Money.Value)
end)
if success then
else
warn(errormessage)
end
end)


game:BindToClose(function()
    for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        DataStoreToKeep:SetAsync(player.UserId.."~money", player.leaderstats.Money.Value)
    end
end)

That’s not what this website is for :slight_smile: I really suggest learning scripting Lua yourself and don’t rely on free model code you don’t understand

This isn’t a free model code… I watched a tutorial learning how to script, I’m not relying on anything… I’m just tired of working on a script that’s not working for 3 hours straight.

Maybe you disabled the studio’s access to API services.

Try (in-studio):

  1. Find Game Settings at Home
  2. Go to Security
  3. Turn on the Enable Studio Access to API Services
  4. Click Save

Or (at your game page):

  1. Find the three dots button and click Configure this Experience
  2. Set Enable Studio Access to API Services into True
  3. Click Save
