I’m going to debug it in studio give me a little bit I’m going to play around with it.

#42

Were is this script located is it in workspace, Server script service, etc

#43

You’re not loading your data. Your script is always writing 0 to the data store because you set cash.Value to zero during initialization.

#44

What I should do? Sorry i’m really stupid at data stores

#45

Where is my script I set cash.Value to zero?

#46

In your players.PlayerAdded function, you ran
cash.Value = 0

#47

It might not save properly if you run the code in Studio. Try running it in the roblox application.

#48

You should use GetAsync to retrieve the value of cash from the datastore

#49

A simple datastore script:

local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds = dss:GetDataStore("Data")

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

   local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
   cash.Name = "Cash"
   cash.Value = 0 --default value if no data
   cash.Parent = leaderstats

   local data
   local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
      data = ds:GetAsync("Player_"..player.UserId)
   end)

   if not success then
      warn("Not able to get "..player.Name.."'s data! Error message: "..errormessage
   else
      cash.Value = data.Cash
   end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
   local data = {
   Cash = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value
   }
   local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
      ds:SetAsync("Player_"..player.UserId, data)
   end

   if not success then
      warn("Not able to save "..player.Name.."'s data! Error message: "..errormessage
   end
end)

:BindToClose is not needed

AND, this script does not restrict saving only Cash, but instead a table of the data containing the values

#50

Are you told about script that I provide in the description?

#51

doesn’t work :confused: you have many errors in your code

#52

like? I reviewed it and no errors?

#53

no, no any error. Does it work for you?

#54

can I see the output?

It’s been a while since i’ve done basic datastore bc i use profileservice now but from what I see, this should work

#55

My output is clear, I added some logs but the print that all should be work!
