Why does this script fail?

#1 
		print("Data info:", "checkpoints:", checkpoints1.Value",")
		print("chapters:", chapters.Value",")
		print("temp", temp.Value)

this is the error: ServerScriptService.SavingScript:32: attempt to call a number value
the values exist. it prints it to output for debugging or for the player to know their values.
line 32 is the first print.

#2

Could you include a bigger snippet of your code? We can’t just fix it based on 3 print lines.

Also, you forgot to concatenate the prints though:

print("Data info:", "checkpoints:", checkpoints1.Value ..",")
print("chapters:", chapters.Value ..",")
print("temp", temp.Value)
#3

it has waits and line 32 is the first print. there is nothing really else that is important other than the instance.new stuff which creates a folder and creates and puts the values inside of it.

#4

Could you just show the entire script? You probably did something wrong on one of those lines which is why the error is occuring.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

	local leadstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leadstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	local checkpoints1 = Instance.new("IntValue", leadstats)
	checkpoints1.Name = "Checkpointch1"
	local temp = Instance.new("IntValue", leadstats)
	temp.Name = "temp"
	local chapters = Instance.new("IntValue", leadstats)
	chapters.Name = "chapters"

	local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId
	leadstats.Parent = player

	local success,save = pcall(function()
		return  data:GetAsync(playerUserId)
	end)
	
	if success then
		
		checkpoints1.Value = save['checkpoints1'] or 1
		chapters.Value = save['chapters'] or 1 
		print("data loaded")
		print("Data info:", "checkpoints:", checkpoints1.Value",")
		print("chapters:", chapters.Value",")
		print("temp", temp.Value)

Try this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local playerUserId = "Player_"..player.UserId

	local leadstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leadstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local checkpoints1 = Instance.new("IntValue")
	checkpoints1.Name = "Checkpointch1"
	checkpoints1.Parent = leadstats
	
	local temp = Instance.new("IntValue")
	temp.Name = "temp"
	temp.Parent = leadstats
	
	local chapters = Instance.new("IntValue")
	chapters.Name = "chapters"
	chapters.Parent = leadstats

	leadstats.Parent = player

	local success,save = pcall(function()
		return data:GetAsync(playerUserId)
	end)

	if success then
		checkpoints1.Value = save.checkpoints1 or 1
		chapters.Value = save.chapters or 1 
		
		print("data loaded")
		print("Data info:", "checkpoints:", checkpoints1.Value ..",")
		print("chapters:", chapters.Value ..",")
		print("temp", temp.Value)
	end
end)

your problem is here, on the first line:

(as well as the second line, but the same error is thrown here)

You’ve referenced a value, and followed it with direct speech marks. This is being recognised as an attempt to call a function, one of Lua’s many quirks.

To fix it, separate your values / variables and your strings:

        print("Data info:", "checkpoints:", checkpoints1.Value, ",")
		print("chapters:", chapters.Value ,",")
		print("temp", temp.Value)
