DataStore Script Not Working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I need help making DataStores work in my game.

I’m trying to add Datastores for the leaderboards in my game and made a script that I thought would work but doesn’t.

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("SaveData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	wait()
	local plrkey = "id_"..plr.userid
	local save1 = plr.leaderstats.Archives
	local save2 = plr.leaderstats.Movies
	local save3 = plr.leaderstats.Spaces
	
	local GetSaved = ds:GetAsync(plrkey)
	if GetSaved then
		save1.Value = GetSaved[1]
		save2.Value = GetSaved[2]
		save3.Value = GetSaved[3]
	else
		local NumberForSaving = {save1.Value, save2.Value, save3.Value}
		ds:GetAsync(plrkey, NumberForSaving)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	ds:SetAsync("id_"..plr.userid, {plr.leaderstats.Archives.Value, plr.leaderstats.Movies.Value, plr.leaderstats.Spaces.Value})
end)

Here is my leaderboard script which does work but here it is if it may be important.

-- Creates a leaderboard that shows player variables
local function onPlayerJoin(player)
 local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player
local gold = Instance.new("IntValue")
gold.Name = "Archives"
gold.Value = 0
gold.Parent = leaderstats

local items= Instance.new("IntValue")
items.Name = "Movies"
items.Value = 0
items.Parent = leaderstats

-- Create the Spaces stat
local spaces = Instance.new("IntValue")
spaces.Name = "Spaces"
spaces.Value = 5
spaces.Parent = leaderstats
end
 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerJoin)

I’ve tried to solve this by looking on the developer hub and watching various videos. If anyone can help me figure out what I did wrong let me know!

It is plr.UserId, besides that, no problems are seen, it would only be necessary to use pcalls in case something fails and game:BindToClose to save.
