(found a solution)

For some reason my Data Store script isn't working. I have checked the API Services and HTTP Requests boxes. Also the data store doesn't work not only in the studio but also in the game itself. There are no errors found aswell Please help!

Here is the script:

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("SaveData")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    wait()
    local plrkey = "id_"..plr.userId
    local save1 = plr.leaderstats.Bucks
    local save2 = plr.leaderstats.Character
    local save3 = plr.leaderstats.CA

    local GetSaved = ds:GetAsync(plrkey)
    if GetSaved then
        save1.Value = GetSaved[1]
        save2.Value = GetSaved[2]
        save3.Value = GetSaved[3]
    else
        local NumbersForSaving = {save1.Value,save2.Value,save3.Value}
        ds:GetAsync(plrkey, NumbersForSaving)
    end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    ds:SetAsync("id_"..plr.userId, {plr.leaderstats.Bucks.Value, plr.leaderstats.Character.Value, plr.leaderstats.CA.Value})
end)

Hello!

In line 16, do you mean :SetAsync?

ds:GetAsync(plrkey, NumbersForSaving)

Also, I'd recommend for you to specify where the values are located in the table, example:

local foobar = {
    [1] = "foo",
    [2] = "bar"
}

Here and here are developer references about datastores. Check them out sometime, to see if you can find your problem.

If you have any questions, ask them below!

I hope this helps!

It still doesnt work... One of my values is a string value. Maybe thats why it doesn't work? evil_zebra 4 — 3y

So, you're telling me you're trying to save something that isnt a stringvalue nor numbervalue? RAFA1608 543 — 3y

Change

plr.userId

to

plr.UserId

Also

    if GetSaved then
        save1.Value = GetSaved[1]
        save2.Value = GetSaved[2]
        save3.Value = GetSaved[3]
    else
        local NumbersForSaving = {save1.Value,save2.Value,save3.Value}
        ds:GetAsync(plrkey, NumbersForSaving)
    end

to

    if GetSaved then
        save1.Value = GetSaved["Bucks"]
        save2.Value = GetSaved["Character"]
        save3.Value = GetSaved["CA"]
    else
        local NumbersForSaving = {save1.Value,save2.Value,save3.Value}
        ds:GetAsync(plrkey, NumbersForSaving)
    end

just put the plr parameter to player.

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("SaveData")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
        wait()
        local plrkey = "id_"..player.userId
        local save1 = player.leaderstats.Bucks
        local save2 = player.leaderstats.Character
        local save3 = player.leaderstats.CA

        local GetSaved = ds:GetAsync(plrkey)
        if GetSaved then
            save1.Value = GetSaved[1]           
        save2.Value = GetSaved[2]
            save3.Value = GetSaved[3]
        else
            local NumbersForSaving = {save1.Value,save2.Value,save3.Value}
            ds:GetAsync(plrkey, NumbersForSaving)
        end
    end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
        ds:SetAsync("id_"..player.userId, {player.leaderstats.Bucks.Value,              player.leaderstats.Character.Value, player.leaderstats.CA.Value})
end)
