1) I recommend using Data Stores, Data Persistence is outdated, here's the Data Store wiki page 2) You can't access Data Persistence or Data Stores through LocalScripts, you need a normal script.

Here's your revamped script:

local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent --assuming this button is in a TextButton, in a ScreenGui, this is how to find player
local creditSaves = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("creditSaves")
local invSaves = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("invSaves")
local credits = player.Credit.Value
local inv = player:FindFirstChild("Inventory")
local deb = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
if not deb and player:WaitForDataReady() then
deb = true
script.Parent.Text = "Saving..."
creditSaves:SetAsync(player.Name.." credits", credits)
for saveInv = 1, 8 do
if inv then
saveSlot = inv:FindFirstChild("Slot"..saveInv)
if saveSlot then
invSaves:SetAsync(player.Name.." inventory", saveInv)
end
end
end
script.Parent.Text = "Save"
end
end)

That should work.

I put that script in a regular script and doesn't work, Do I put n a local script? epicfatcookie 0 — 9y

No, it's supposed to be in a regular script. I noted that the script was made if it were in a TextButton, in a ScreenGui, in StarterGui. Unless you didn't put it in that order, or I made a mistake, then it should work. bobafett3544 198 — 9y
