When the player leaves, make a datastore for those values. If you don’t know how to create datastores, check out this tutorial:

Datastore Tutorial for Beginners

I’ve created a tutorial for new people regarding the datastore and how to save multiple/singular data. In this tutorial I’m gonna try my best to explain every single line assuming that you’re really new to coding, but if you already know some basic stuff, it will be easier to read. For any improvements for this topic/thread please comment down below so I can improve it and make it better for future readers

Copy code for lazy people

Btw, the tutorial is under this code, this just shows what you…

To make a datastore, first go to the game settings thing and enable access to api in security tab of game settings

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds = DSS:GetDataStore("Datastore Name Here")

they work like dictionaries, requiring a key (such as player id) and a value (money, score, etc)
use :GetAsync() and :SetAsync() to retrieve and change the values, but since these can occasionally fail due to internet issues or whatnot, use a pcall

local success, errorMsg = pcall(function()
    ds:SetAsync(key, value)
end)
