What do you want to achieve? I have made a Datastore script in a new Flat terrain which I plan to use in one of my group games. I would like so people in my group game can see how active they are.

What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
In my group game I already have a leaderboard script that will get the players Group Id and will assign that onto the leaderboard but I also am Trying to put My Datastore script that has a leaderstats value for minutes so when players join it should display both their rank from the group and how many minutes they currently have.
Leaderboard script for Group
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local groupId = (GroupId)
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local Leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", Player)
Leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local RankText = Instance.new("StringValue", Leaderstats)
RankText.Name = "Rank"
local Rank = Player:GetRoleInGroup(groupId)
RankText.Value = Rank
end)
Datastore script
local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local Time = Instance.new("IntValue")
Time.Name = "Time"
Time.Parent = leaderstats
local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
-- Load Data
local data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
data = myDataStore:GetAsync(playerUserId)
end)
if success then
Time.Value = data
-- Set our data equal to the current Time
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
local data = player.leaderstats.Time.Value
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
myDataStore:SetAsync(playerUserId, data)
end)
if success then
print("Data sucessfully saved!")
else
print("There was an error!")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)
Timer Script (This is a seperate script I made however I probably could have just added it elsewhere.)
while true do
wait(60)
player.leaderstats.Time.Value = player.leaderstats.Time.Value + 1
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(addTime)

What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I had to watch a 30 minute tutorial of how to save with Datastores etc I’m just in the process of learning how I can combine both my Datastore script + leaderboard group rank script to my group game.
except the only error i get is Time is not a valid member of Folder.
