I never used bindtoclose before but i learned that it works to prevent data loss in shutdown, i tried to make a code with it, but it doesn’t works, can someone help me?

To test, i set the value to a number but when I enter after the shutdown the value is 0, so didn’t work, idk how to see the prints in this case, to see the error.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local DataBTB = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Data_BestTime_Test")
 
game:BindToClose(function()
    if RunService:IsStudio() then
        return
    end
 
    print("saving player data")
 
    local players = Players:GetPlayers()
    for _, player in pairs(players) do
        local userId = player.UserId
            local success, result = pcall(function()
                DataBTB:SetAsync(userId, game.Players.BestTimeBeated.Value)
            end)
            if not success then
                warn(result)
            end    
        end
    print("saving completed")
end)
Datastore wipe when you join the game, players will be angry if not fixed

the issue is right on line 18.

game.Players.BestTimeBeated.Value

BestTimeBeated is not a child of Players, it’s a child member of all the existing players.

perhaps you should replace line 18 with this:

DataBTB:SetAsync(userId, player.BestTimeBeated.Value)
