I want two things to save, Saves and Gold, both don't seem to work now despite it was working before when it had one value.

I believe solving this would need folders to save each player's storage, otherwise returning the 2 values as nil.

P.S. Why do you need a 'Saves' value?

Just for example, also could you explain further by showing me via script of what I did wrong? It would help me a lot, thanks! Cinorch 10 — 8y

`local points = Instance.new("NumberValue", leaderstats) was doubled`, I believe, therefor it's been doubling. D_ctorScript 0 — 8y

Then how would I add a second value to the leaderboard stats in order for it to save? Cinorch 10 — 8y

Make a seperate variable for Line 16, instead of taking the name of Gold. D_ctorScript 0 — 8y

You think you could code it to show me? I really have a hard time understanding sometimes, I'm sorry! Cinorch 10 — 8y
