No matter what code I use, my own, or from someone else, the data never saves. I have tried about 6 or 7 maybe 8 different datastores fro youtube videos and toolbox... I even attempted myself but it never works, I have access to studio API on I have tried in studio and the real game, but it never saves. Can anyone help?

I dunno about you but this video from AlvinBlox worked for me... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkYupSBUpes TheBigBro122 427 — 4y

Heres my leaderboard script that 100 percent works (change exp and kills to whatever name you want)

001local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
002local ExpStore = DS:GetOrderedDataStore("Exp")

008    local exp = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
009    exp.Name = "Exp"
010 
011    pcall(function()
012    local ExpVal = ExpStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
013    if ExpVal then
014        exp.Value = ExpVal      
015    end
016  end)
017 
018game.ServerStorage.GiveExp.Event:Connect(function(amount,plr)
019    if player.Name == plr.Name then
020        exp.Value = exp.Value + amount
021    end
022  end)

PUT THIS IN SERVERSCRIPTSERVICE

well this is inefficient, also, we dont even know what data the OP wants to save... SerpentineKing 3885 — 4y

I was trying to save leaderstats, I'm wondering if the problem was the way i was adding value. CL4VIN 9 — 4y

did u try to make a datastore service coolmanHDMI 72 — 4y

What do you mean by that? CL4VIN 9 — 4y

if you want to save leaderstats you have to make a datastore and name it. If you already did this you need to activate it. You can do this by making a Playerremoved function coolmanHDMI 72 — 4y

I'm a bit lost... Do you mean the variable at the beginning? I haven't done datastores before so I'm a bit confused. CL4VIN 9 — 4y

so you can use a new int value when the player joins and put that int value into a folder by parenting it to the folder then you have to get the data store service and get a datastore and name it. then you use playerremoved function and tell it to save that folder when the player leaves. IF I WAS CONFUSING YOU CAN TELL ME AND I WILL SHOW YOU THE DATASTORE SCRIPT BC THIS IS HARD TO EXPLAIN coolmanHDMI 72 — 4y

Yeah... This is a tad bit confusing, I'd like it if you were to show me. CL4VIN 9 — 4y

My DataStore isn't saving no matter what, anyone have any idea?
