Fixing trail script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

please can someone help me fix this script so that it doesn’t create a new folder and uses a folder i have already created

local StatsName = “Gems” – Enter your Stats Name (Current is “Cash”)
local StartingAmt = 10000 – 10,000 Cash on Playing Game

local DataStoreService = game:GetService(“DataStoreService”)
local RunService = game:GetService(“RunService”)
local PlayersService = game:GetService(“Players”)

local statsStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore(“-stats”)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local leaderFolder = Instance.new(“Folder”)
leaderFolder.Name = “leaderstats”
leaderFolder.Parent = Player

local statsValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
statsValue.Value = StartingAmt
statsValue.Name = StatsName
statsValue.Parent = leaderFolder

local lastEquipped = Instance.new("StringValue")
lastEquipped.Value = "nil"
lastEquipped.Parent = Player
lastEquipped.Name = "equippedTrail"

local oldData
local foundData,newplr = pcall(function()
	oldData = statsStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
end)
if foundData and oldData ~= nil then
	statsValue.Value = oldData.Stat
	lastEquipped.Value = oldData.equip
end

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
local succesSaved,ErrorSaved = pcall(function()
statsStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId,{
Stat = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild(StatsName).Value,
equip = Player.equippedTrail.Value,
})
end)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
if RunService:IsStudio() then
wait(1)
else
for _, Player in pairs(PlayersService) do
local succesSaved,ErrorSaved = pcall(function()
statsStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId,{
Stat = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild(StatsName).Value,
equip = Player.equippedTrail.Value
})
end)
end
end
end)

Could you upload everything as a script or as a file? it’s not very convenient

#3

Ok, im not sure how to though.

#4

Just create a .txt file, paste the code there and upload it here

#5

or put three backticks like this:

```lua
--put some code here
```
#7

hi.txt (4.5 KB)
here*

#8

why did you need it as a txt file anyway?

#9

Looking at your script, it will not even start, are you sure that you threw off what you need? And which folder are you talking about?

#10

it does start but i just need it to like not create a leaderstats folder and use one that has been created by a different script

#11

That is just the stats script.

#12

which folder, if not leaderstats?

#13

a different leaderstats folder i’m already using

#14

basically i just don’t want it to create another one

#15

Replace

local leaderFolder = Instance.new(“Folder”)
leaderFolder.Name = “leaderstats”
leaderFolder.Parent = Player

to

local leaderFolder = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")

thank you works way better now
