DataStore is not storing values?
I'm trying to store the player's level and xp for my RPG in DataStorage but something beyond my comprehension is happening
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
02 | repeat wait() until player.Character |
03 | --#load#-- |
04 | local folder=Instance.new("Folder",player) folder.Name="Storage" |
05 | local level=Instance.new("IntValue",folder) level.Name="level" level.Value=1 |
06 | local xp=Instance.new("IntValue",folder) xp.Name="xp" xp.Value=0 |
07 | --==-- |
08 |
09 | --#datastore#-- |
10 | local DataStore=game:getService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("StatStore") |
11 | local key=("player-"..player.userId) |
12 | local savestats=DataStore:GetAsync(key) |
13 | if savestats then |
14 | print("Found "..player.Name.."'s save file! Loading...") |
15 | level.Value=savestats[1] |

I would recommend using "Data persistence" instead.
Your first part for the Folder and Values is good. But saving it is different.
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
02 | repeat wait() until player.Character |
03 | local folder=Instance.new("Folder",player) folder.Name="Storage" |
04 | local level=Instance.new("IntValue",folder) level.Name="level" level.Value=1 |
05 | local xp=Instance.new("IntValue",folder) xp.Name="xp" xp.Value=0 |
06 | xp.Value = player:LoadNumber("xp") |
07 | level.Value = player:LoadNumber("level") |
08 | end) |
09 |
10 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player) |
11 | if player:WaitForDataReady() then |
12 | player:SaveNumber("xp", ***Where ever you find the XP***) |
13 | player:SaveNumber("level", ***Where ever you find the Level***) |
14 | end |
15 | end) |

Data persistence isn't reliable -.- FutureWebsiteOwner 270 — 10y

01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
02 | --player.CharacterAdded function instead but it isnt necessary in this case |
03 | --#load#-- |
04 | local folder=Instance.new("Folder",player) folder.Name="Storage" |
05 | local level=Instance.new("IntValue",folder) level.Name="level" level.Value=1 |
06 | local xp=Instance.new("IntValue",folder) xp.Name="xp" xp.Value=0 |
07 | --==-- |
08 |
09 | --#datastore#-- |
10 | local DataStore=game:getService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("StatStore") |
11 | local key=("player-"..player.userId) |
12 | local savestats=DataStore:GetAsync(key) |
13 | if savestats then |
14 | print("Found "..player.Name.."'s save file! Loading...") |
15 | level.Value=savestats[1] |

Good to see you're learning datastores!
