(CLOSED) How to fix this Data Store? [closed]

I need help with a script with data stores, I want to correct the mistakes because when I tested it out the only thing this has done was remove my stats. I want it to actually save it then load it back again when the player leaves and comes back.

01local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("PlayerStats")
02 
03game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
04player:WaitForDataReady() -- make sure we aren't looking for leaderstats before they are created
05wait(2) -- just in case
06local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):GetChildren()
07 
08for i = 1, #stats do -- creates a loop for all the stats
09print(stats[i].Name)
10datastore:SetAsync(stats[i].Name, stats[i].Value)
11end
12end)
13 
14-- Loading dem stats
15game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(newplayer)
16newplayer:WaitForDataReady() -- make sure we aren't looking for leaderstats before they are created
17wait(2) -- just in case
18local stats2 = newplayer:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):GetChildren()
19 
20for i = 1, #stats2 do
21stats2[i].Value = datastore:GetAsync(stats2[i].Name)
22end
23end)

The script below is the script for making the leaderstats. NOTE THE TWO CODES ARE IN DIFFERENT SCRIPTS!

01game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect (function(plr)
02    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Model",plr)
03    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
04 
05    local lvl = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
06    lvl.Name = "LVL"
07    lvl.Value = 1
08 
09    local currency = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
10    currency.Name = "Gold"
11    currency.Value = 100

end)

Maybe you need to remove the wait(2). I've never seen that before in a data store before. LordSpectrus 25 — 9y

I asked a similar question yesterday, never got a response. Good luck :/ Antharaziia 75 — 9y

I have found out through Roblox Forum, for those who also got stuck on this here!

01-- Data Store Script
02 
03local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("PlayerStats")
04 
05-- Loading
06game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
07local id = player.userId
08player:WaitForDataReady() 
09local stats2 = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):GetChildren()
10 
11for i = 1, #stats2 do
12stats2[i].Value = datastore:GetAsync(stats2[i].Name..id)
13end
14end)
15 
16-- Saving
17game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
18local id = player.userId
19--player:WaitForDataReady() -- Don't need it, cause of not saving
20local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):GetChildren()
21 
22for i = 1, #stats do -- creates a loop for all the stats
23datastore:SetAsync(stats[i].Name..id, stats[i].Value)
24end
25end)

I hope for those people who also got stuck with data stores finally got it!
