Try this
01 | local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
02 | local rankdatastore = datastore:GetDataStore("Rank") |
03 |
04 | game.Players.ChildAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
05 |
06 | local data |
07 | local success, errormessage = pcall(function() |
08 | data = rankdatastore:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-rank") |
09 | end) |
10 |
11 | if success then |
12 | -- here change the rank value, for example Rank.Value = data |
13 | else |
14 | print("There was an error whilst getting your data") |
15 | warn(errormessage) |

it isnt working because you’re not specifying what youre getting, you are just getting ‘Rank’ but you save a value
GetAsync cant have 2 args, at least that works for me. the only arg there is the code, in which case is the players userid, what i do is attach a string to the players userid by doing datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId.. ‘-rank’) which will be able to be seperated from different players, and also be able to grab the right value. also you should wrap the :GetAsync() in a pcall function so it doesnt error incase the :GetAsync() fails. if this helped please accept my answer, else i will be happy to help you in the community chat
