Hi, recently, I was trying to make a datastore for player points, the issue here is that when the player leaves, PlayerRemoving event works but it doesn’t save. I searched for solutions but I didn’t find/understand. I tried to determine where exactly where the problem then I found out that it is in that part (PlayerRemoving event).

local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local myDataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("playersPointSStorage")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local leaderstatefolder = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstatefolder.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstatefolder.Parent = player
	
	local Points = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Points.Name = "Points"
	Points.Parent = leaderstatefolder
	
	local playerId = player.UserId
	
	--load Data
	
	local data 
	local success, errorMassage = pcall(function() 
		data = myDataStore:GetAsync(playerId) 
	
	end)
	
	if success then
		Points.Value = data  to data (Our DataStore)

	end

end)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local playerId = player.UserId
	
	local data = player.leaderstats.Points.Value
	
	local success, errorMassage = pcall(function()
		myDataStore:SetAsync(playerId, data)
		
	end)
	
	if success then
		print("The points has saved")
	else
		print("The points hasn't saved")
		warn(errorMassage)
	end
	
end)

Sorry if I missed something stupid, I’m a beginner.
Note: The points were added by clicking a part in the studio.

try testing in a main game if it doesn’t work try using

game:BindToClose(function()

-- saving part here

Does errorMassage say anything in the Output?

also i would recommend making the saving part a function so you can do this

local function save(player)
local playerId = player.UserId
	
	local data = player.leaderstats.Points.Value
	
	local success, errorMassage = pcall(function()
		myDataStore:SetAsync(playerId, data)
		
	end)
	
	if success then
		print("The points has saved")
	else
		print("The points hasn't saved")
		warn(errorMassage)
	end
end



game:BindToClose(function()
for i , v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
save(v)
end
end)

It’s likely that the value of Points is nil.

Were the points added on the server or the client?

Have you tried using tostring(player.UserId)?

It saves when I testing in the main game but it doesn’t while I am in the studio and that’s why it doesn’t print “The points has saved” but why didn’t it print “the points hasn’t saved” and the warn? That’s weird.

I decide to use this way instead of mine, so congrats! you are the solution.
