IntValue changes in Script but not in Game

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    Like in the title, I want a intvalue to change in Game, too. Not just in the Script. (ServerScriptService Script)

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    IntValue changes in Script but not in Game

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have tried to change the value in another script, but the same result.

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = ds:GetDataStore("LeaderstatsData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local data = nil

	local sucess, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		data = dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
	end)

	if not sucess then
		print(errorMessage)
	end
	
	print(data)
	
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local souls = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
	souls.Name = "Souls"
	souls.Value = 0
	if data ~= nil then
		if data[1] ~= nil then
			souls.Value = data[1]
		end
	end

	local gems = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
	gems.Name = "Gems"
	if data ~= nil then
		if data[2] ~= nil then
				gems.Value = value
	                        print(gems.Value) --prints out the saved data. Leaderstats doesn't change.
		end
	end
	
	local privateValues = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
	privateValues.Name = "privateValues"
	
	local gemMultiplication = Instance.new("IntValue", privateValues)
	gemMultiplication.Name = "gemMultiplication"
	if data ~= nil then
		if data[3] ~= nil then
			gemMultiplication.Value = data[4]
		end
	end
	
	local soulMultiplication = Instance.new("IntValue", privateValues)
	soulMultiplication.Name = "soulMultiplication"
	if data ~= nil then
		if data[4] ~= nil then
			gems.Value = data[4]
		end
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	local data = {
		plr.leaderstats.Souls.Value,
		plr.leaderstats.Gems.Value,
		plr.privateValues.gemMultiplication.Value,
		plr.privateValues.soulMultiplication.Value
	}

	local sucess, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, data)
	end)

	if not sucess then
		print(errorMessage)
	end
end)

Found a way for something against this. If you have the same error then here is my solution:

buggyValue(yourIntOrStringValue, normalValue)

function buggyValue(value, normalValue)
	value.Value = normalValue
	local buggyRepeat = true
	spawn(function()
		wait(1)
		buggyRepeat = false
	end)
	value.Changed:Connect(function()
		if buggyRepeat then
			value.Value = normalValue
		end
	end)
end

don’t use variables when using stuff like IntValue, it breaks for some reason

#4 
local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = ds:GetDataStore("LeaderstatsData")
local plrs = game:GetService("Players")

plrs.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Parent = plr
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local souls = Instance.new("IntValue")
	souls.Parent = leaderstats
	souls.Name = "Souls"
	souls.Value = 0
	
	local gems = Instance.new("IntValue")
	gems.Parent = leaderstats
	gems.Name = "Gems"
	gems.Value = 0
	
	local privateValues = Instance.new("Folder")
	privateValues.Parent = plr
	privateValues.Name = "privateValues"
	
	local gemMultiplication = Instance.new("IntValue")
	gemMultiplication.Parent = privateValues
	gemMultiplication.Name = "gemMultiplication"
	gemMultiplication.Value = 0
	
	local soulMultiplication = Instance.new("IntValue")
	soulMultiplication.Parent = privateValues
	soulMultiplication.Name = "soulMultiplication"
	soulMultiplication.Value = 0
	
	local data = nil

	local succ, err = pcall(function()
		data = dataStore:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
	end)

	if not succ then
		warn(err)
	end
	
	if type(data) == "table" then
		souls.Value = data[1] or 0
		gems.Value = data[2] or 0
		gemMultiplication.Value = data[3] or 0
		soulMultiplication.Value = data[4] or 0
	end
end)

plrs.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	local data = {
		plr.leaderstats.Souls.Value,
		plr.leaderstats.Gems.Value,
		plr.privateValues.gemMultiplication.Value,
		plr.privateValues.soulMultiplication.Value
	}

	local succ, err = pcall(function()
		dataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, data)
	end)

	if not succ then
		warn(err)
	end
end)

Instance all of the necessary instances first, then load the stored values at once. Also, avoid using the parent parameter of the instance class constructor function “Instance.new()”.
