How Do I Make A Datastore For A Leaderstat Named Cash

I Have Made A Learderstat Which Is Cash And Ive Been Watching Tutorials And Trying Everything and it just aint saving.

This Script is a robbery script and when players finish they get cash.
how do i make this save ?
here is the script

local maxCash = 2500
local cashPerSecond = 100
local timeToRob = 100
local robbing = false
local cooldown = 500
local closed = false
local defaultVaultPosition = script.Parent.VaultDoor.Position

local playersRobbing = {}
local alreadyRobbed = {}
local guis = {}

function endRobbery()

closed = true
robbing = false

wait(1)

script.Parent.Door.CanCollide = true
script.Parent.VaultDoor.Position = defaultVaultPosition


for i, gui in pairs(guis) do
	gui:Destroy()
end

for p, x in pairs(playersRobbing) do
	p.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = script.Parent.FailedToRob.CFrame
end


playersRobbing = {}
alreadyRobbed = {}

script.Alarm:Stop()

wait(cooldown)
closed = false

script.Parent.Door.CanCollide = false

end

function beginRobbery()

for i = 1, timeToRob do
	
	wait(1)
	
	local region3 = Region3.new(script.Parent.VaultArea.Position - script.Parent.VaultArea.Size/2, script.Parent.VaultArea.Position + script.Parent.VaultArea.Size/2)
	local parts = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(region3, script.Parent, math.huge)
	
	local playersGivenCashTo = {}

From This Script How Do I Make Cash Save ?

[thyswedishviking (SwedishAeternum)]

Wait, so I don’t get what your trying to do I mean I get you need a datastore but right here just looks like your trying to do something else.

[thyswedishviking (SwedishAeternum)]

What I can do is give you a datastore to go off of but is that all you need? I mean it seems like your title and your scripts aren’t matching up.

[thyswedishviking (SwedishAeternum)]

This is what I have just edit the names of it and it’s pretty much good to go.

local CoinName = "Coins"
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Change") -- Change this to what ever you want, changing it again will wipe any data.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

	local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
	folder.Name = "Currency"
	folder.Parent = player	

	local Coin = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	Coin.Name = CoinName
	Coin.Parent = folder

	local ID = CoinName.."-"..player.UserId
	local savedData = nil	

	pcall(function()
		savedData = DataStore:GetAsync(ID)
	end)

	if savedData ~= nil then
		Coin.Value = savedData
		print("Data loaded")
	else
		-- New player
		Coin.Value = 0
		print("New player to the game")
	end


end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local ID = CoinName.."-"..player.UserId
	DataStore:SetAsync(ID,player.Currency.Coins.Value)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()



	for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if player then
			player:Kick("This game is shutting down")
		end
	end

	wait(5)	

end)

Merged Datastore into your script...

local DataStore = DatastoreService:GetDataStore("LeaderstatsData1")

	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

	Cash.Parent = leaderstats

	local PlayerKey = tostring("Player_"..Player.UserId)
	local Data
	pcall(function()
		Data = DataStore:GetAsync(PlayerKey)
	end)

	Cash.Value = Data and Data["Cash"] or 0
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
	local StatFolder1 = Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
	if StatFolder1 then
		local PlayerKey = tostring("Player_"..Player.UserId)
		local Data = {}

			pcall(function()

Sorry, this was posted late… My internet was being reset.

[TheEternalDev (ChristmasLewis)]

would this work ? if i replaced the script with that ?

[TheEternalDev (ChristmasLewis)]

ill give this a try hopefully it works

[TheEternalDev (ChristmasLewis)]

i want to save the Cash In It. so players have it when they rejoin.

[Ioveczour (Sulo)]

I’m pretty sure it does work, if it doesn’t just replace it with the old one.

[TheEternalDev (ChristmasLewis)]

doesnt work.
i replaced the old one.

[thyswedishviking (SwedishAeternum)]

Put the one I made in ServerScriptService, try that.

[TheEternalDev (ChristmasLewis)]

i got it working but how do i make a tool shop for Cash and it save ?

[jasperagent_dev (StillSyriarting)]

Try using something I made not too long ago:

Datastore Resource [REMADE]

(This only supports leaderstats at the moment.) WARNING: IF YOU SWITCH FROM THE OLD DATASTORE TO THE NEW ONE, DATA WILL BE BROKEN, DUE TO THE DATASERVERS HAVING THE SAME DATA NAME. IT WILL DETECT THAT IT HAS DATA, BUT NOT IN THE FORMAT IT RECOGNISES, DO NOT SWITCH FROM THE OLD DATASTORE TO THE NEW ONE BEFORE CHANGING THE DATA NAME, AND IT WILL ACCESS THE DEFAULT DATA Introduction Making a DataStore can be hard, but this is a simple way to create your own, which can easily support multiple…

Just sidenote, profileservice is wayyy better than vanilla datastores as it features session-locking. As a beginner, u can use ur method howeever as u develop further, profileservice is the best choice.

Fyi, this is juz a suggestion.
