there is no function named savedata(), but im guessing you want to make one.

you’ll need to get datastoreservice and the datastore you’ll save

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local coinsData = ds:GetDataStore("Coins")

then make leaderstats or folder that contains data you would save

-- Variables

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local coinsData = ds:GetDataStore("Coins")

-- Logic

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Parent = plr
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
	coins.Name = "Coins"
	coins.Parent = leaderstats
end)

now lets make the data save function ( finally lol )

-- Variables

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local coinsData = ds:GetDataStore("Coins")

-- Logic

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Parent = plr
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
	coins.Name = "Coins"
	coins.Parent = leaderstats
end)

function savedata(plr)
	coinsData:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."_coins", plr.leaderstats.Coins.Value)
end

also you could connect the function to PlayerRemoving so it saves once the player leaves

-- Variables

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local coinsData = ds:GetDataStore("Coins")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

-- Logic

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Parent = plr
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
	coins.Name = "Coins"
	coins.Parent = leaderstats
end)

-- Save function
function savedata(plr)
	coinsData:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."_coins", plr.leaderstats.Coins.Value)
end

-- Connecting to left event
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(savedata)

remember though you can always read this if you dont understand
