For the record, if you want to go that route (which I recommend), you should just be able to do this.
local success, data = pcall(DataStore1.GetAsync, DataStore1, PlayerUserid)
You attempted to save a value called “Name”, but you named the value “NickName”. See if this works:
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore1 = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStore1")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local Name = Instance.new("StringValue")
Name.Name = "NickName"
Name.Parent = leaderstats
local PlayerUserid = "Player_"..player.UserId
local Data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
Data = DataStore1:GetAsync(PlayerUserid)
end)
if success then
if Data ~= nil then
Name.Value = Data
else
Name.Value = player.Name
end
else
print(errormessage)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local PlayerUserid = "Player_"..player.UserId
local Data = player.leaderstats.NickName.Value
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
DataStore1:SetAsync(PlayerUserid, Data)
end)
if success then
print("Data was saved")
else
print("There was an error")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)

It seems this worked, I’ll comeback if there’s any errors or futur errors while me adding more things.
Okay, just let me know if there are any errors and I can help.

I have a question. How do you change the string value when I edited a TextBox?
(This is why the NickName exists).
Please note it’s in a StarterGUI
I have a script that changes the value whenever you edit the TextBox:
Put this script inside of the TextBox:
local TextBox = script.Parent -- or wherever your TextBox is
local Event = -- Put RemoteEvent here
-- LocalScript:
TextBox.InputEnded:Connect(function()
local Text = tostring(TextBox.Text)
Event:FireServer(Text)
end)
Put this script in ServerScriptService:
-- ServerScript
local Event = -- Put RemoteEvent here
Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Text)
local NickName = Player.leaderstats.NickName
NickName.Value = Text
end)

Omg… thank you. Saved me so much time from trying to find an answer. I didn’t found any tutorial on how to change leaderstats.

I have one small question, how do you get the TextBox’s text to be the NickName? Since it would be confusing to players.
I think we should do a loop. I tried that but, nothing happens.
Sorry if I’m being annoying.
A TextBox is used for inputting text. Did you mean to say TextLabel?
Ooh, so you can’t change the Text from a TextBox, only in studio and while playing.
Maybe I check if it’s nil and if not check the current value and have a text label on top.
The Text property of a TextBox is the text that the player has inputted into it.

So I think I should do this:
local TextLabel = script.Parent.TextLabel
local TextBox = script.Parent.TextBox
game.Players.PlayersAdded:Connect(function(player)
local NickName = player.leaderstats.NickName
if NickName.Value == nil then
TextLabel.Visible = false
else
TextLabel.Text = NickName.Value
end
end)
And I’ll modify the TextBox script so whenever it’s used. The TextLabel will be invisible. So what I will do is if the NickName is nil I do nothing. But if it has something I’ll make the TextLabel visible and have it’s text be the NickName. I’ll make it invisible whenever the TextBox is used for a new nickname.
I’m not sure if this is what you’re trying to do, but see if this works:
local TextLabel = script.Parent.TextLabel
local TextBox = script.Parent.TextBox
game.Players.PlayersAdded:Connect(function(player)
local NickName = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").NickName
if NickName.Value == "" then
TextLabel.Visible = false
else
TextLabel.Visible = true
TextLabel.Text = NickName.Value
end
end)
I got it. I made a few modifications but it worked! Thanks a lot. From one simple qestion we went on many.
Here’s my script: (bit messy in a way)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local GUI = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("PlayersCard").Frame.NNFrame
local TextLabel = GUI.Default
local TextBox = GUI.ChangeNickName
print("PLAYER JOINED")
print(player.Name.."is crazy") -- just to check for usernames. I usually print funny stuff
local NickName = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").NickName
wait(1)
print(NickName.Value)
if NickName.Value == "" or nil then
print("There is no text")
TextLabel.Visible = false
else
print("There is text")
TextLabel.Visible = true
TextLabel.Text = NickName.Value
end
end)

I ran into an issue. Data sometimes saves, rarily but sometimes.
Edit: I think it’s fixed now. Phew

Just in case it stops working, try this script:
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore1 = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStore1")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local Name = Instance.new("StringValue")
Name.Name = "NickName"
Name.Parent = leaderstats
local success, errormessage
success, errormessage = pcall(function()
Data = DataStore1:GetAsync(player.UserId)
end)
if success then
if Data ~= nil then
Name.Value = Data
else
Name.Value = player.Name
end
else
print(errormessage)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local Data = player.leaderstats.NickName.Value
local success, errormessage
success, errormessage = pcall(function()
DataStore1:SetAsync(player.UserId, Data)
end)
if success then
print("Data was saved")
else
print("There was an error")
print(errormessage)
end
end)
Btw, I change it from “Player_…player.UserId” to just the player’s UserId, so it will reset the data.

I’ll soon (maybe tomorrow) add more values. I’ll comeback if there’s any problems.
It happened AGAIN. IT’S SO WEIRD. I NEVER TOUCH THE SCRIPTS WHILE THEY WERE WORKING AND NOW THEY BARELY SAVE. So weird. I’ll make another post asking for help. Since this one has the initial solution and people don’t go on it.
