Datastores not working

[DevHelpAccount (DevStar)]

Hi everyone. I have followed a datatores tutorial because I’m not familiar with them, but when I finished the script, my data did not save. I have tried in studio and in-game, enabled api services but nothing worked. I rewatched the tutorial, before eventually turning to the forum.

local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerdata = dss:GetDataStore("MyDataStore")

local function playerjoin(player)
	local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	
	local copper = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Copper")
	local silver = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Silver")
	local gold = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Gold")
	local multiplier = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Multiplier")
	
	local playeruserid = "Player_"..player.UserId
	local data = playerdata:GetChildren(playeruserid)
	if data then
		multiplier.Value = data["Multiplier"]
		copper.Value = data["Copper"]
		silver.Value = data["Silver"]
		gold.Value = data["Gold"]
	else
		multiplier.Value = 0
		copper.Value = 0
		silver.Value = 0
		gold.Value = 0
	end
end

local function createtable(player)
	local playerstats = {}
	for i, stat in pairs(player.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
		playerstats[stat.Name] = stat.Value
	end
	return playerstats
end

local function playerexit(player)
	local playerstats = createtable(player)
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		local playeruserid = "Player_"..player.UserId
		playerdata:SetAsync(playeruserid, playerstats)
	end)
	
	if not success then
		warn("Data save unsuccessful!")
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(playerjoin)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(playerexit)

I also have another script that waits when the game is closing but that isn’t part of the issue. Thanks so much to whoever solves this!

local data = playerdata:GetChildren(playeruserid)

you should change it to this:

local data=playerdata:GetAsync(playeruserid)

AND USE UpdateAsync FOR SAVING DATA GRRR (and make sure to wrap GetAsync around pcall because it might sometimes fail just like with UpdateAsync)

Idk why I would have written getchildren lol must have been an autocorrect error. Also, I did say that i was following a tutorial. I don’t know what update async does but I just wrote what he wrote
