i mean on datastores not scripting as a hole
ill try again later, just not motivated rn
Did they even get created? Are you indexing them before they even exist? Do they get created at all or your code just yields? Etc…
local leaderstats = Instance.new(“Folder”, player)
leaderstats.Name = “leaderstats”
local Food = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
Food.Value = 0
local Coins = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
Coins.Value = 0
same server script, at the top
I will go now, but if you still don’t find the issue, i will help you in some hours cause no pc right now
Try debugging as much as you can in the meantime

You should try this and see if it works
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local CurrencyGui = script.Parent
local CurrencyHolderFrame = CurrencyGui:FindFirstChild("CurrencyHolder")
local Food = CurrencyHolderFrame:FindFirstChild("Food")
local Coins = CurrencyHolderFrame:FindFirstChild("Coins")
local function changeValue(name: string, StatsDisplay: number)
if name == "Food" then
Food.Frame.StatsDisplay.Text = StatsDisplay.."/30"
elseif name == "Coins" then
Coins.Frame.StatsDisplay.Text = StatsDisplay
end
end
repeat task.wait() until player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Food = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Food")
local Coins = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Coins")
changeValue("Food", Food.Value)
changeValue("Coins", Coins.Value)
Food.Changed:Connect(function()
changeValue("Food", Food.Value)
end)
Coins.Changed:Connect(function()
changeValue("Coins",Coins.Value)
end)

why do you even do a repeat until if you just called waitforchild?

I made some changes to your datastore script.
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Test") -- Set to official when publishing game
local function waitForRequestBudget(requestType)
local currentBudget = DataStoreService:GetRequestBudgetForRequestType()
while currentBudget < 1 do
currentBudget = DataStoreService:GetRequestBudgetForRequestType()
task.wait(1)
end
end
function setupPlayerData(Player)
local Key = "player_"..Player.UserId
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", Player)

local Food = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)

Hello! 
I have tried your code, and after a few fixes and tweaks, I’ve got the leaderstats to show up!
However, i’m getting an error on this line:
Error: Argument1 nil (or something like that)
following on, the data is not saving nor showing any signs of it saving
and the gui is not updating with the food/coins value 
pleases get back to me as soon as you can!

@Scxiptifyz I was using your script, I didn’t notice you miss this part. Replace your old waitForRequestBudget function to the 1 below.
local function waitForRequestBudget(requestType)
local currentBudget = DataStoreService:GetRequestBudgetForRequestType(requestType)
while currentBudget < 1 do
currentBudget = DataStoreService:GetRequestBudgetForRequestType(requestType)
task.wait(1)
end
end

HI Again!
The error has been removed but it still does not save, nor show any sign of it saving, and the gui’s still don’t update.
If you copied the datastore script I wrote down for you I dont think there will be an issue so maybe it’s your localscript. I will have a look.

i did change some stuff in the datastore script as when i first added the script the were some errors
@Scxiptifyz For your localscript.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local CurrencyGui = script.Parent
local CurrencyHolderFrame = CurrencyGui:WaitForChild("CurrencyHolder")
local Food = CurrencyHolderFrame:WaitForChild("Food")
local Coins = CurrencyHolderFrame:WaitForChild("Coins")
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local function changeValue(name: string, StatsDisplay: number)
if name == "Food" then
Food.Frame.StatsDisplay.Text = StatsDisplay.."/30"
elseif name == "Coins" then
Coins.Frame.StatsDisplay.Text = StatsDisplay
end
end
changeValue("Food", leaderstats.Food.Value)
changeValue("Coins", leaderstats.Coins.Value)
leaderstats.Food.Changed:Connect(function()
changeValue("Food", leaderstats.Food.Value)
end)
leaderstats.Coins.Changed:Connect(function()
changeValue("Coins", leaderstats.Coins.Value)
end)
NOTE: Make sure when you are updating the values on your leaderstats you are updating on the server and not the client or it will not save.
