So I got this far with another scripter looking to see if there is anymore insight? Im using a data store system for an inventory. And looking to use this script to add to the data store service without breaking the other store script. This basically creates a leader stats folder under already created data_folder. Im getting errors at end) and wondering if this is even possible?

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
if DataStoreService then
local data = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Data_folder")
local Leaderstats = game:WaitForChild("Leaderstats")
	

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
		
	if Player then
		local Leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
		Leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
		Leaderstats.Parent = Player
		local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Cash.Name = "Dragoons"
		Cash.Value = data:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 250
		data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Dragoons.Value)
		Cash.Parent = Leaderstats
		local Resource1 = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Resource1.Name = "Wood"
		Resource1.Value = data:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 5
		data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Wood.Value)
		Resource1.Parent = Leaderstats
		local Resource2 = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Resource2.Name = "Iron"
		Resource2.Value = data:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 5
		data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Iron.Value)
		Resource2.Parent = Leaderstats
		local Resource3 = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Resource3.Name = "Stone"
		Resource3.Value = data:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 5
		data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Stone.Value)
		Resource3.Parent = Leaderstats
		local Resource4 = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Resource4.Name = "Metal"
		Resource4.Value = data:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 5
		data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Metal.Value)
		Resource4.Parent = Leaderstats
		local Resource6 = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Resource6.Name = "Cloth"
		Resource6.Value = data:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 5
		data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Cloth.Value)
		Resource6.Parent = Leaderstats

	-- Adds 250 cash every 2 minutes
	if Cash then 
		while true do
			wait(2)
			Cash.Value = Cash.Value + 250					
		end			
end)
	
	
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
	data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Dragoons.Value) --Change "Points" to the name of your leaderstat.
	data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Wood.Value)	
	data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Iron.Value)
	data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Stone.Value)
	data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Metal.Value)
	data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Cloth.Value)	
end)

oof that’s difficult to read - could you screenshot that next time?

looks like you’re missing an end somewhere. Perhaps here?

Yaa just noticed that, sorry about the screenshot. The first end) with the underlined ) went away

However the last line is still underlined red from( , Player to end)

Format document and it will show you where things start to go wrong with your end statements.

Says function at line 55 which is the Player removing function.

If I take away “if DataStoreService then”

And change GetService to, WaitForService it clears errors think this will work?

Code with no error:

local DataStoreService = game:WaitForService("DataStoreService")
local data = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Data_folder")
local Leaderstats = game:WaitForChild("Leaderstats")
	

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
		
	if Player then
		local Leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
		Leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
		Leaderstats.Parent = Player
		local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Cash.Name = "Dragoons"
		Cash.Value = data:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 250
		data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Dragoons.Value)
		Cash.Parent = Leaderstats
			if Cash then 
				while true do
					wait(2)
					Cash.Value = Cash.Value + 250 
				end
			end	
		local Resource1 = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Resource1.Name = "Wood"
		Resource1.Value = data:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 5
		data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Wood.Value)
		Resource1.Parent = Leaderstats
		local Resource2 = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Resource2.Name = "Iron"
		Resource2.Value = data:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 5
		data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Iron.Value)
		Resource2.Parent = Leaderstats
		local Resource3 = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Resource3.Name = "Stone"
		Resource3.Value = data:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 5
		data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Stone.Value)
		Resource3.Parent = Leaderstats
		local Resource4 = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Resource4.Name = "Metal"
		Resource4.Value = data:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 5
		data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Metal.Value)
		Resource4.Parent = Leaderstats
		local Resource6 = Instance.new("IntValue")
		Resource6.Name = "Cloth"
		Resource6.Value = data:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 5
		data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Cloth.Value)
		Resource6.Parent = Leaderstats
	end				
end)

	
	
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
	data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Dragoons.Value) --Change "Points" to the name of your leaderstat.
	data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Wood.Value)	
	data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Iron.Value)
	data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Stone.Value)
	data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Metal.Value)
	data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Cloth.Value)
end)
