That and http requests are needed, and yes I have them both enabled.
Have you made this yourself? if so I could help! if not then I still can!
You should use :FindFirstChild() to do this.
Yes (the game with a team the scripts and guis myself). How would you help, me sending you the script, or letting you into a team create on our game.
Yep I would do that or I could simply just connect a db to save the leaderboard manually cause I’m into API instead and that 
You shouldn’t really trust people easily so you only wanted to save the leaderboard right and have them on?
Try this!
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStoreV1")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = plr
local EP = Instance.new("IntValue")
EP.Name = "Evolution Points"
EP.Parent = leaderstats
local XP = Instance.new("IntValue")
XP.Name = "XP"
XP.Parent = leaderstats
local Level = Instance.new("IntValue")
Level.Name = "Level"
Level.Parent = leaderstats
local key = plr.UserId
local data
local success,msg = pcall(function()
data = DataStore:GetAsync(key)
end)
if data then
print("Data Loaded")
EP.Value = data.E
XP.Value = data.X
Level.Value = data.L
else
print("Error")
warn(msg)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local key = player.UserId
local data = {
E = player.leaderstats["Evolution Points"].Value,
X = player.leaderstats.XP.Value,
L = player.leaderstats.Level.Value,
}
local success,msg = pcall(function()
DataStore:SetAsync(key,data)
end)
if success then
print("Data Saved!")
end
end)

I understand that you’ve used alvinblox or someones tutorial so I will be posting a fix as fast as I can.

It gets rid of the error and says that it has saved, but… It doesn’t save.
What script is like changing the value?
There is no other script changing the values. For this test I have everything else that changes the values set to disabled.
Have you thought about saving it to their userid manually instead?
no, how would I do that? via auto save? If so then how do you change the data manually?
Enable to scripts and test it to see if it works!
It still doesn’t work… It looks like it is getting close though.
Try testing it in like the actual game instead of studio!

I’ve tried this and tested it out but it’s straightforward.
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("MoneyStats") -- Change this with a different name.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local Leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", Player)
Leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local XP = Instance.new("IntValue", Leaderstats)
XP.Name = "XP"
XP.Value = 0
local EvolutionPoints = Instance.new("IntValue", Leaderstats)
EvolutionPoints.Name = "Evolution Points"
EvolutionPoints.Value = 0
local Level = Instance.new("IntValue", Leaderstats)
Level.Name = "Level"
Level.Value = 0
local Data = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
if Data then
XP.Value = Data.XP -- Change to "XP" to ur currency
EvolutionPoints.Value = Data.EvolutionPoints -- Change "EvolutionPoints" with your currency.
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId, {
["XP"] = Player.leaderstats.XP.Value;
["Level"] = Player.leaderstats.XP.Value;-- Change "Level" with your currency.
["Evolution Points"] = Player.leaderstats.EvolutionPoints.Value; -- Change "EvolutionPoints" with your currency.
})
end)

Seems to me your not using “BindToClose”, whenever I use datastores. I always put the bindtoclose function right after the game.Players.PlayerRemoving function.
Try this:
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local MDS = DSS:GetDataStore("myDataStore")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = plr
local EP = Instance.new("IntValue")
EP.Name = "Evolution Points"
EP.Parent = leaderstats
local XP = Instance.new("IntValue")
XP.Name = "XP"
XP.Parent = leaderstats
local Level = Instance.new("IntValue")
Level.Name = "Level"
Level.Parent = leaderstats
local data
local data2
local data3
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
data = MDS:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Evolution Points")
data2 = MDS:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-XP")
data3 = MDS:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Level")
end)
if success then
EP.Value = data
XP.Value = data2
Level.Value = data3
else
print("Failed!")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
MDS:SetAsync("id_"..plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats["Evolution Points"].Value, plr.leaderstats.XP.Value, plr.leaderstats.Level.Value)
end)
if success then
print("Success!")
else
print("Failed!")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)
game:BindToClose(function()
wait(1)
end)
Read this, if you want to. It helped me realize the same thing: DataStores - Beginners to Advanced

The reason your script wasn’t working was because your “SetAsync()” call was made with 4 values passed as arguments to it when it only expects 2 arguments, because of this the additional 2 values (which were 2 of the leaderstat’s stats) were discarded and not saved. Instead of attempting to save/load each stat’s value individually you can instead collect all of the values into a single table value (array) and save/load that to/from the DataStore.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStores = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStores:GetDataStore("DataStore")
local ProtectedCall = pcall
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local Leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
Leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
Leaderstats.Parent = Player
local EP = Instance.new("IntValue")
EP.Name = "Evolution Points"
EP.Parent = Leaderstats
local XP = Instance.new("IntValue")
XP.Name = "XP"
XP.Parent = Leaderstats
local Level = Instance.new("IntValue")
Level.Name = "Level"
Level.Parent = Leaderstats
local Success, Result = ProtectedCall(function()
return DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."_Stats")
end)
if Success then
if Result then
if type(Result) == "table" then
EP.Value = Result[1]
XP.Value = Result[2]
Level.Value = Result[3]
end
end
else
warn(Result)
end
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
local Success, Result = ProtectedCall(function()
return DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId.."_Stats", {Player.leaderstats["Evolution Points"].Value, Player.leaderstats.XP.Value, Player.leaderstats.Level.Value})
end)
if Success then
print(Result)
else
warn(Result)
end
end)
game:BindToClose(function()
for _, Player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
local Success, Result = ProtectedCall(function()
return DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId.."_Stats", {Player.leaderstats["Evolution Points"].Value, Player.leaderstats.XP.Value, Player.leaderstats.Level.Value})
end)
if Success then
print(Result)
else

I did not know that (always learning new things). Thanks! I’ll try it.
