local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local playerData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("playerData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local gold = Instance.new("IntValue")
	gold.Name = "Wins"
	gold.Parent = leaderstats
	local po = Instance.new("IntValue")
	po.Name = "Points"
	po.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local data

Some people have had this problem before (HTTP 403 (Forbidden) - #9 by DarkContinuum), fixed by setting place to public. Could also be that you don’t have API Services Allowed.

#3

hmm i set it to public but still the error

#4

Are API Services on for your game?

#5

oh wait it is not on uhh one sec

#6

hmm seems like theres no error but it dosn’t save either

#7

In your saving part, you are saving using the key player.UserId…"-Wins", but in the loading, you did not put the -. You can either add the dash in the loading part or remove it in the saving.

does the - do anything? or is it just decor?

#9

The first parameter is a string value, if it has a -, it is a completely different value.
It would be saving with the key “00000-Wins” instead of “00000Wins”.

#10

It is the key…
You really should learn more about DataStores before using them…

so it will be like this?

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local playerData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("playerData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local gold = Instance.new("IntValue")
	gold.Name = "Wins"
	gold.Parent = leaderstats
	local po = Instance.new("IntValue")
	po.Name = "Points"
	po.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local data 
	local data2
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		data = playerData:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Wins") 
		data2 = playerData:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Points") 
	end)
	
	if success then 
		gold.Value = data
		po.Value = data2
	else
		print("uh oh bad no save :(")
		warn(errormessage) --error line
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		playerData:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Wins", player.leaderstats.Wins.Value)
		playerData:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Points", player.leaderstats.Points.Value)
	end)
	
	if success then
		print("YAJ SAVED")
	else
		print("uh oh bad no save :(")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
	
end)
#12

It should work, test it to find out.

#13

nope, it didn’t print yaj saved

#14

Add a return here and try again

#15

If you are testing in studio, instead of stopping it, try running the command:

game.Players.LocalPlayer:Kick()

Not too sure why, but this works for me.

#16

i leaved in-game and rejoined, but it didn’t seem to work

#17

hmm nope, ima try add a print statement…oh wait i already have one

#18

if it is saved it should print yaj saved, which it did…so does that mean i have to kick the player when they want to leave?

#19

the kicking part is just for when your in studio, its probably some bug or something, im not 100% sure why.
you dont need to kick the player when they leave.

#20

can you help me test it out in roblox then ;-; i have no way of knowing it saves or not in-game heres the game
