Also, I have to ask, if you are a beginner scripter why are you scripting for a game with 2000+ players?

#24

I’m not the scripter there, We don’t have enough to pay for scripters so we’re using scripts we are seeing on youtube/dev forum

#25

Oh, okay. Obviously in the future I reccomend writing your own scripts. As for right now, do some research on data stores and look for solutions.

That’s what it’s saying, How do I fix it?

That’s what I did right now:

--[[Savin'
		Dem
			Stats	
--]]
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
	local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(player.UserId.."Stats")

	local statstorage = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):GetChildren()
	for i =  1, #statstorage do
		datastore:SetAsync(statstorage[i].Name, statstorage[i].Value)
		print("saved data number "..i)

	end
	print("Stats successfully saved")	
end)


--[[
	Loadin'
		Dem
			Stats
--]]
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(player.UserId.."Stats")

	player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	wait(1)
	local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):GetChildren()
	for i = 1, #stats do			
		stats[i].Value = datastore:GetAsync(stats[i].Name)
		print("stat numba "..i.." has been found")
	end
end)

DataToTransfer = DataStore1:GetAsync(player.Name) --if you are saving by UserId, Key would be the user you want to work with's UserId

DataStore2 = DataStore2:SetAsync(player.UserId, DataToTransfer) --Set the value of the second DataStore to the value of the first
