Leaderstats script doesnt work

[dibblydubblydoo (poo)]

my script doesn’t work, the script doesn’t recognise Player or Datastore
Enabled API services but the leaderboard still doesn’t appear. I am still learning some bits of scripting so if there are any wrong things I did please don’t hesitate to let me know.

script:

local Datastore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Wins")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	local Wins = Instance.new("StringValue")
	Wins.Name = "Wins"
	Wins.Value = DataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
	Wins.Parent = leaderstats
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
	Datastore:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Wins.Value)
end)

@dibblydubblydoo

local Datastore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore(“Wins”)

However, you use DataStore:

@dibblydubblydoo

DataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)

Capitalisation really matters, especially with variables.

FYI: You should be pcalling those Datastore methods, they have a high tendancy to error and Players can lose data due to it. Here’s a good tutorial by ReturnedTrue (whoever that is) on pcalls:

Pcalls - When and how to use them

Intoduction Protected calls, formally known as pcalls, can run functions without erroring and provide if your code was successfully ran but what’s the best way to use them and when should I? In this tutorial I will be covering the entirety of pcalls and where you’ll need them, so lets begin! Pcall basics First and foremost, we should learn what pcall’s syntax really looks like: pcall(f : function, ...args : any) Basically, you pass your desired function in as argument 1 and any arguments you…

Suddenly, the script works! Thank you so much!
