Help With "Punching Simulator"

Help and Feedback Game Design Support
#1

Hello, I am making a game called “Punching Simulator” and will be trying to make mechanics like Pull A Sword and Arm Wrestle Simulator. The problem is that I do not know how to make the mechanics such as, The fights, the data stores/leaderstats, the pets, and others.

  • Data Stores
  • Fights
  • Pets

Please help if you can help I will appreciate it greatly.

Bro i swear i was just in the Pull A Sword game a few minutes ago, anyways datastores are pretty easy, heres a basic datastore

local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService") -- DataStoreService
local datastore = dss:GetDataStore("CoolDatastoreThing") -- Creates the datastore
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local data
	
	local folder = Instance.new("Folder") -- Creates a folder to store the values
	folder.Name = "Values" -- Names the folder
	folder.Parent = player -- Puts folder inside of the player
	
	local examplevalue = Instance.new("NumberValue") -- Creates a value
	examplevalue.Parent = folder
	examplevalue.Name = "Example"
	examplevalue.Value = 1
	-- pcall is not needed, but I recommend using it to check if the value has loaded correctly or not
	local yes, no = pcall(function() 
		data = datastore:SetAsync(player.UserId, examplevalue.Value) -- Loads the value
	end)
	
	-- Checks:
	if yes then
		print("Loaded value")
	elseif no then
		print("Cannot load value")
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local yes, no = pcall(function() 
		datastore:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.Values.Example.Value)-- Saving the value
	end)
	
	
	
	-- Checks:
	if yes then
		print("Saved value")
	elseif no then
		print("Cannot save value")
	end
	
end)

You can also load values from a module script

Code said “Cannot load data” don’t know how to fix.
