For your use case I would recommend simply setting everything to a table and save the table
i saw a video on how to do it but when i tested it out it didnt work at all
It was this one but it didnt work, How to Store Multiple Values with Data Store - Roblox Studio Tutorial - YouTube
Ok, I few questions:
Do you have this enabled?
If so, did you have any errors, what were they? And, did the data simply not save? Did you test it in studio or in a live game?
I had API on and it did not save at all, also i tested it in both live and studio oh and it didnt have any errors
Alright, one final question: Do you still have the script? Or did you delete it
i deleted :ccc let me see if i can get it back give me a min
I recommend avoiding adding points or auto-saving as it adds requests to the DataStore System
More Requests = More Throttling
I recommend ProfileService as it does saving for you
I dont get that … sorry
Ok,
local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = dss:GetDataStore("StatsData")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local function SerializeLeaderstats(player) : {[string]: number}
local stats = {}
-- this loops through the leaderstats folder and sets the correct values in the table
for _, v in pairs(player.leaderstats:GetChildren()) do
stats[v.Name] = v.Value
end
return stats
end
local function LoadLeaderstatsData(player)
-- "pcall" stands for protected call which basically helps with errors that may possibly occur
local success, err = pcall(function()
-- this returns the player's data
return dataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
end)
if success then
-- this checks if the call was successful
-- this also checks if they are new/have any data
if err ~= nil then
for name, value in pairs(err) do
-- this loops through the serialized table and sets the values accordingly
player.leaderstats[name].Value = value
end
end
end
return err
end
local function OnPlayerExit(player)
-- does what the other one does except it saves the serialized data
local success, err = pcall(function()
dataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, SerializeLeaderstats(player))
end)
if not success then
-- if it couldn't save, it will send a warning in the output telling you why
warn("unable to save data:", err)
end
end
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
-- do stuff (place the default things in here)
LoadLeaderstatsData(player) -- this calls the loading function so the player's data can load
end)
players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(OnPlayerExit) -- this detects when the player leaves
P.S.
wrap the loop in a coroutine so that the script can fully function
coroutine.wrap(function()
-- loop in here
end)()
Don’t get what? I don’t understand what you are saying
So i put this under my actual leaderstats script right?
Kind of, place the part of the script that creates the IntValues in the PlayerAdded
event, but make sure you follow the comments (they’re important!)
Oh and btw how can i make a comment lua??
wrap the while wait() do
in the coroutine and move these
in this
as you only need 1 event listener
Just put 2 hyphens
-- comment lol
For a multi-line comment, do this:

multi line comment

or
