How Could I Increase a value by stepping onto a part?

So, I am using datastores, and I am trying to make it so when someone steps onto a part, its value changes… How could I do this?

Here is the serverScript.

local data = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local datastore1 = data:GetDataStore("DataStore1")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	
	local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
	cash.Name = "Cash"
	cash.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local playerID = ("Player_".. player.UserId)
	
	local data2 
	local succss, errormessage = pcall(function()
		data2 = datastore1:GetAsync(playerID)
	end)
	if succss then
		cash.Value = data2
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local playerUserID = "Player_".. player.UserId
	
	local data3 = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		datastore1:SetAsync(playerUserID, data3)
	end)
	if success then
		print("Booomer")
	else
		warn("Error fix.. debugg..")
	end
end)

You chould do something like this, putting this script inside of your brick:

local brick = script.Parent 
local canCollectCash = true --weather or not cash can be collected when the brick is being touched

--the code below runs when a player touches a brick because
--we're using the brick's .Touched event to call the function
brick.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name)

	if player and canCollectCash then
		canCollectCash = false --when a player touches the part, set canCollectCash to false


		local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")  --get the players cash value in the leaderstats
		local cash = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Cash")

		cash.Value = cash.Value + 1 --add one cash to the player's cash value

		wait(1) -- wait a second before allowing cash to be able to be collected again
		canCollectCash = true
	end
	
end)

You can use a .Touched event, and when that specific user touches that part, it will increase their value by 1.

Here’s an example:

-- // Variables
local part = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

-- // Main Code
part.Touched:Connect(function()
     player.leaderstats.cash.Value = player.leaderstats.cash.Value
end)

Additionally, you should never trust the client. Therefore I recommend using a RemoteEvent that can request this change to the server. The code above is made on the client, so it doesn’t save. Again, don’t trust the client when it comes to this.

So, I would need to use a remote event to fire and increase its value?

Its works, but the data doesnt save unfortunately

No I got the saving part. I realized I was on a empty baseplate. But, it only saves sometimes . I want it to save no matter what. So using a remote event would not be good for a situation like this?
