Does DataStore work on private games?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Quick Question: I have a game not published publically but only certain users can access it (Developers, Testers, and Paid-Access). They are having an issue with the point save system, where their in-game points are not saving. Could this be because it is not published or is it my scripts issue?
Script:```
local DataStoreService = game:GetService(“DataStoreService”)
local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore(“myDataStore”)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats1 = Instance.new(“Folder”)
leaderstats1.Name = “leaderstats1”
leaderstats1.Parent = player

local points = Instance.new("IntValue")
points.Name = "ElitePoints"
points.Parent = leaderstats1

local value = game.ServerStorage.mate
repeat wait()
wait(30)
points.Value = points.Value + 1
until value.Value == true

local data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
	data = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-points")
end)
if success then
	points.Value = data
else
	print("Error")
	warn(errormessage)
end

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
	myDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-points",player.leaderstats1.ElitePoints.Value)
end)

if success then
	print("Success")
else
	print("Error")
	warn(errormessage)
end

end)

(PS:I have no idea why my code bricks are like this)

No matter is published or not, if you can play it, the datastore still saves.
Now my question is,

did you patiently wait long enough? The script says that every 30 second a point will increase until mate.Value == true
Even when mate.Value == true, you have to wait until the last 30 second ends.
Also, the script wont continue until that repeat function ends.

Sorry for the long wait but this means every 30 seconds your ElitePoints increase by 1 in a forever loop

Well I just found out what my issue was and should have spent more time thinking, My code

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats1 = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats1.Name = "leaderstats1"
	leaderstats1.Parent = player
	
	local points = Instance.new("IntValue")
	points.Name = "ElitePoints"
	points.Parent = leaderstats1
	
	local data
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		data = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-points")
	end)
	if success then
		points.Value = data
	else
		print("Error")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		myDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-points",player.leaderstats1.ElitePoints.Value)
	end)
	
	if success then
		print("Success")
	else
		print("Error")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)
	game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local points = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats1"):WaitForChild("ElitePoints")
	local value = game.ServerStorage.mate
	repeat wait()
	wait(30)
	points.Value = points.Value + 1
	until value.Value == true
end)

yes but that means if it loops THE CODE BELOW WONT RUN AND IT WONT LOAD UR SAVE

Chill out stop yelling at him. He didn’t do anything wrong I bet he’s frightened.
