How do I make it to where I can save the money data of a player using leaderstats? It normally does not include this

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = plr
	
	local Money = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Money.Name = "Money"
	Money.Value = 1000
	Money.Parent = leaderstats
	
end)

Why can’t you put all the information in a table and use a datastore?

You can try this.

local Players = game.Players or game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataBase = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("StatsData")
local DataTable = {}

local function SaveDataOnJoin(Player)
	local PlayerUserId = Player.UserId
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", Player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	local Money = Instance.new("NumberValue", leaderstats)
	Money.Name = "Money"

	local success = nil
	local playerData = nil
	local Attempt = 1

	repeat
		success, playerData = pcall(function()
			return DataBase:GetAsync(PlayerUserId)
		end)
		Attempt += 1
		if not success then
			warn(playerData)
			task.wait(3)
		end
	until success or Attempt == 5

	if success then
		print(Player.Name.."'s", "data was created.")
		if not playerData then
			print("No data found. Did not create data.")
			playerData = {
				[Money] = 0,
			}
		end
		DataTable[PlayerUserId] = playerData
	else
		warn("Player data could not load. Removing player...")
		Player:Kick("An error occured and your data was not found. Please rejoin the game.")
	end

	Money.Value = DataTable[PlayerUserId].Money
	Money.Changed:Connect(function()
		DataTable[PlayerUserId].Money = Money.Value
	end)

	leaderstats.Parent = Player
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(SaveDataOnJoin)

local function SaveDataOnLeave(Player)
	local PlayerUserId = Player.UserId
	if DataTable[PlayerUserId] then
		local success = nil
		local errorMsg = nil
		local Attempt = 1

		repeat
			success, errorMsg = pcall(function()
				DataBase:SetAsync(PlayerUserId, DataTable[PlayerUserId])
			end)
			Attempt += 1
			if not success then
				warn(errorMsg)
				task.wait(3)
			end
		until success or Attempt == 5

		if success then
			print(Player.Name.."'s", "data saved.")
		else
			warn(Player.Name.."'s", "data didn't save!")
		end
	end
end

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(SaveDataOnLeave)

local function SaveDataOnServerShutDown()
	if RunService:IsStudio() then
		return
	end
	print("Server shutting down. Saving player data...")
	for i, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		task.spawn(function()
			SaveDataOnLeave(player)
		end)
	end
end

game:BindToClose(SaveDataOnServerShutDown)

This should hopefully prevent most data loss. This script was made by the Roblox Luau YouTube teacher known as GnomeCode. All you have to do is copy and paste the code. (Replace your old code with this code if you didn’t get what I was talking about.)

If the script doesn’t work, please let me know. I might’ve messed it up on accident, as I suck at memorizing how to save data, lol.
