Why is it displaying 0?

Hello everyone!
I’ve run into a problem, when I print the value of a leaderstat it says it has 1, but when I check the display board it says 0.

This is the code I’m using to print

local function loadLevel()
	game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
		local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
		local lukeLevel = leaderstats:WaitForChild("LukeLevel").Value
		wait(1)
		print(lukeLevel)
		if lukeLevel == 1 then
			print("Player is on level 1")
		elseif lukeLevel == 2 then
			print("Player is on level 2")
		end
	end)
end

loadLevel()

Thanks for any help

How are the leaderstats objects being created?

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local levelDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("LevelDataStore")

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

		local LukeLevel = Instance.new("IntValue")
		LukeLevel.Name = "LukeLevel"
		LukeLevel.Value = 1
		LukeLevel.Parent = leaderstats

		local ObiWanLevel = Instance.new("IntValue")
		ObiWanLevel.Name = "ObiWanLevel"
		ObiWanLevel.Value = 0
		ObiWanLevel.Parent = leaderstats

		local AnakinLevel = Instance.new("IntValue")
		AnakinLevel.Name = "AnakinLevel"
		AnakinLevel.Value = 0
		AnakinLevel.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local data	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		data = levelDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-LukeLevel")
	end)
	
	if success then
		LukeLevel.Value = data
	else
		print("There was an error whilst getting data")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
	levelDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-LukeLevel",player.leaderstats.LukeLevel.Value)
	end)
	
	if success then
		print("Data successfully saved!")
	else
		print("There was an error while saving data.")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
	
end)

The LukeStory script is getting the leaderstats value from LukeLevel before the DataStore value is set to it.

In the LukeStory script, do this:

local function loadLevel()
	game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
		local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
		local lukeLevel = leaderstats:WaitForChild("LukeLevel")

		task.wait(1)
        lukeLevel = lukeLevel.Value -- gets the value *after* waiting

		print(lukeLevel)
		if lukeLevel == 1 then
			print("Player is on level 1")
		elseif lukeLevel == 2 then
			print("Player is on level 2")
		end
	end)
end

loadLevel()

This worked but it says I have 0 on the lukelevel even though I changed it to be 1

Are you changing the value after the script runs? If so, you’d need to create a signal to listen for when the value of LukeLevel changes. Otherwise, I’m not sure what you’re saying
