The overall goal of this is that I am making a Halloween update for my game, and the amount of candy a player owns will be saved. API Services are enabled, but the :SetAsync() function wouldn't work. The script will print "Saving..." but never says saved afterward; thus meaning the data didn't save.

Here is the script:

local year = tonumber(math.floor(os.time()/60/60/24/365.25+1970))
local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local candySave = dss:GetDataStore("HalloweenCandy-".. tostring(year))
local broomSave = dss:GetDataStore("HalloweenBroom-".. tostring(year)) 

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr:FindFirstChild("HalloweenData") then
		local hd = plr:FindFirstChild("HalloweenData")
		if plr:FindFirstChild("HalloweenData"):FindFirstChild("CandyCorn") and plr:FindFirstChild("HalloweenData"):FindFirstChild("OwnsBroomstick") then
			local cc = plr:FindFirstChild("HalloweenData"):FindFirstChild("CandyCorn")
			local ob = plr:FindFirstChild("HalloweenData"):FindFirstChild("OwnsBroomstick")
			print("Saving...")
			candySave:SetAsync(plr.UserId, tonumber(cc.Value))
			print("Saved")
		end
	end
end)

Thank you in advance!

Are you sure the game isn't shutting down before it gets the chance to save?

Should I assume that were the case (which is most likely true), how would I allow it to save before it closes? Correct me if I am wrong, but :BindToClose should not be used when run in Studio (I am testing in Studio).
