How to properly save player data in data stores upon server close

A really useful tutorial for beginners.

Often, studio shuts down too fast and PlayerRemoving can’t fire. Simply saving everyones data would work but it would throw a “DataStore request added to queue” warning and freeze a bit (which isn’t bad, but still), that’s why I often use something like this if I want it to save in studio:

game:BindToClose(function()
    if RunService:IsStudio() then
        wait(1)
    else
        for i,player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
            coroutine.wrap(save)(player)
        end
    end
end)

Basically make it wait 1 second if it is studio, to let PlayerRemoving fire.
If anyone knows any better way, feel free to reply.
