Save script say's it's successfully saving and loading but is doing neither, what else could be the problem?

I have a save load script it runs fine but doesn’t throw any errors whatsoever, it even says it’s successfully saving and loading when the function run’s. I’m pretty certain the error is not in the script but maybe something else. I’m not entirely sure what the issue is because I’m still learning datastores.

Here is the script


local players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local GameData = DataStore:GetDataStore("GameData")

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)	
	local Int = Instance.new("IntValue",player) Int.Name = ("leaderstats")
	local kos = Instance.new("NumberValue",Int) kos.Name = ("KOs")
	local points = Instance.new("NumberValue",Int) 
	points.Name = "Points"
	local vc = Instance.new("NumberValue",Int) vc.Name = ("VirtualCurrency")	
	local lvl = Instance.new("NumberValue",Int) lvl.Name = ("lvl")
	local xp = Instance.new("NumberValue",lvl) xp.Name = ("XP")
	local Swords = Instance.new("Folder",player) Swords.Name = "Swords"

	wait(1)
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		local stuff = GameData:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-StatsData")
		for a, b in ipairs(stuff) do		
			for c, d in ipairs(player.leaderstats:GetDescendants()) do
				if d.Name == a then
					d.Value = b
				end
			end
		end
	end)
	if success then
		print("loaded data for "..player.Name)
	else
		print("loading data for "..player.Name.." failed.",err)
	end
end)


local function Save(player)
	local ls = player.leaderstats
	local DataTable = {}
	
	for a, b in ipairs(player.leaderstats:GetDescendants()) do
		DataTable[b.Name] = b.Value
	end		
	
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		GameData:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-StatsData", DataTable)	
	end)
	if success then
		print("saved data for "..player.Name)
	else
		print("saving data for "..player.Name.." failed.",err)
	end
end

players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	Save(player)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	for i,player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
		pcall(Save,player)
	end
end)

This should be making a dictionary which datastores dont like.

This should be giving you errors.
By what i see you attempting to go through each of the stats saved and checking thier names with the leaderstats but if you cant save a dictionary all you will be getting is nil when you try to load.

You also have nothing to make it try to save again should it fail.

Aside from this it should in theory work.
