Hi, so I followed a tutorial on youtube on how to save leaderstats data to get more familiar with the topic but when a completely new player joins the game the value of silver is set to 0 even though I specified that it should be set to 50. I'm really new to datastores so I have no clue on why this is occurring. If somebody could help me out that would be great. Thanks!

Code:

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

	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"


	local Silver = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Silver.Parent = leaderstats
	Silver.Name = "Silver"
	Silver.Value = 50
	
	local Silverdata
	local Silversuccess, Silvererrormessage = pcall(function()
		Silverdata = SilverSave:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Silver")
	end)
	
	if Silversuccess then
		Silver.Value = Silverdata
	else
		print("There was an error whilst getting your Silver data")
		warn(Silvererrormessage)
	end
end)



game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local Silversuccess, Silvererrormessage = pcall(function()
		SilverSave:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Silver",player.leaderstats.Silver.Value)
	end)
	
	if Silversuccess then
		print("Player Silver Data successfully saved")
	else
		print("There was an error when saving Silver data")
		warn(Silvererrormessage)
	end
end)

If you've tested before, check to see if the stored value is at 0 silver. In other words, your datastore might already have the players data as a key. So remove it and try testing again.

I've used one of my alt accounts that have never joined the game before so they never could've had a data store on the game, but it still gave them 0 silver.

Try taking out the first silver value and on line 18 "Silver.Value = (Silverdata) or 50". Or try what YTRaulByte said and rename your datastore wherever you call for it.
