So i kinda stuck on this datastore script on leaderstats. Idk if yall could help me or something. This is my script

local DataSore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds = DataSore:GetDataStore("Points")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local points = Instance.new("IntValue")
	points.Name = "Points"
	points.Value = 0 or ds:SetAsync(points.Value)
	points.Parent = leaderstats
	
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function(Died)
			local creator = Character.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator")
			local leaderstats = creator.Value:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
			if creator ~= nil and creator.Value ~= nil then
				leaderstats.Points.Value = leaderstats.Points.Value + 10
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

So, that’s your DataStore script? Or that’s just your leaderstats and Kill for Cash Script?

I think it’s because of how you’re using or operators, essentially it should be value or fallback, not fallback or value because fallback will always be truthy. You’re also using :SetAsync instead of :GetAsync, you also don’t have a save function.

points.Value = ds:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0

game:GetService('Players').PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, player:WaitForChild('leaderstats').Points.Value)
end)

I also highly suggest implementing pcalls as if your code errors, it will simply not load the data.

Datastores should work in studio, just enable APIs under game settings.
