Wait, how do I put the leaderstats folder inside the player?
I tried it just now but it didn’t work.
You have to create it inside the Player via a script. If you need help doing this:
If you have trouble reading the API reference, tell me.
Ik how to create the leaderboard. I just don’t know how to add the datastore into the leaderboard.

You don’t add the DataStore into the leaderboard, you add the values.

local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local player_data = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("WorldMiles-0.0.1")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = plr
local Points = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
Points.Name = "Points"
Points.Value = 0
local data = player_data:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
if data ~= nil then
Points.Value = data["Points"] -- we're setting the data if there is data to use.
else
local newData = { -- we create new data if it doesn't exist!
["Points"] = 0,
}
player_data:SetAsync(plr.UserId,newData)
end
local function data_save() -- let's create a saving function
local data = { -- getting our data.
["Points"] = Points.Value,
}
local success,err = pcall(function() -- a pcall to check if the data saves or not
player_data:SetAsync(plr.UserId, data) -- saving our data
end)
if success then
print("Data saved!")
else
print("Data didn't save!")
end
end
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(data_save)
end)
I tested this and it works fine.

It still doesn’t work. Maybe I placed it in the wrong place. Can you show me where you put your script?
In the ServerScriptService, a regular script.
Perfect, it works, thanks a lot for you help. How can I make a command which adds the points? @yoshi1604
No problemo, please mark the answer so new people can see the solution directly.
You can add points by adding numbers to the Points value.
Points.Value = Points.Value + 100
I mean like a command like :give all 100 or something like that
Ok. How about making a GUI which displays how much points I have?
In the Gui, place a TextLabel, and inside a LocalScript, get the points value, and change the TextLabel’s Text property to the Points value.
Tutorial!
I can’t do all the work for you, or else you won’t learn how to script! Check the tutorials I sent you and you’ll get a better grip on how things work.
