Im trying to save 3 values; 2 in startergui that are IntValues, and one BoolValue inside ReplicatedStorage.

01local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02local inventory = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Inventory")
03local values = game.StarterGui.ShopValues.FirstWalkspeed
04local koalaInv = game.StarterGui.HatValues.KoalaInventoryCount
05local koalaQue = game.StarterGui.QuestHolder.KoalaCount

14game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
15    local Data
16    local Data2
17    local Data3
18    local success, err = pcall(function()
19        Data = inventory:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-WalkSpeed", values.Value)
20        Data2 = inventory:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-KoalaInv", koalaInv.Value)
21        Data3 = inventory:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-KoalaQuest", koalaQue.Value)
22    end)
23    if success then
24        values.Value = Data
25        koalaInv.Value = Data2
26        koalaQue.Value = Data3

Hello.

Problem:

You tried setting the DataStore multiple times at once. This wouldn't work as DataStore's are designed to store 1 value.

Solution:

Instead, save a table containing the values.

Fixed Code:

01local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02local inventory = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Inventory")
03local values = game.StarterGui.ShopValues.FirstWalkspeed
04local koalaInv = game.StarterGui.HatValues.KoalaInventoryCount
05local koalaQue = game.StarterGui.QuestHolder.KoalaCount
06 
07game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
08    local Data
09 
10    local success, err = pcall(function()
11        Data = inventory:GetAsync(player.UserId.."_Data", values.Value)
12 
13    end)
14    if success then
15        values.Value = Data[1]
16        koalaInv.Value = Data[2]
17        koalaQue.Value = Data[3]
18 
19    else
20            print("Error getting data")
21            warn(err)
22    end
23 
24 
25end)
26 
27 
28game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
29 
30    local toSave = {values.Value, koalaInv.Value, koalaQue.Value}
31 
32 
33    local success, err = pcall(function()
34        inventory:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Data", toSave)
35 
36    end)
37 
38    if success then
39        print ("data saved")
40    else
41            print("There was an error")
42            warn(err)
43    end
44 
45end)
