So I'm trying to think of a way to save stats of players. They are not leaderstats but instead stats saved in a gui as IntValue's. I don't even know how to start with something like this. Can someone help? Thanks in advance. You don't have to example with a script. Just ideas are fine.

Yes you can use a DataStore
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=PlayerDataStore_module
Here is a quick example:
--Server Script (DataStore must always be in a Server Script)
local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Values")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
local key = "user_" .. plr.UserId --Set a unique key that contains saved values for each player
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Model", plr) --Creates a leaderboard
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats) --Inserts a value inside of leaderstats
Cash.Name = "Cash" --How the value will show up in the leaderboard
Cash.Value = datastore:GetAsync(key) or 0 --Gets "Cash"s value from the DataStore, if not found for the player, it will automatically be set to 0
Cash.Changed:connect(function() --Checks if Cash's value was changed
datastore:SetAsync(key, Cash.Value) --Saves Cash's value to the DataStore using the unique "key"
end)
end)
Datastore... Did you even look at the wiki.... or look it up....
You can use Datastore.

I would suggest looking at this module, as it is meant to be easy to use and will help you save player stats!
Also, from now on, you should try and give some code as this is scripting helpers :)

I did indeed. I thought datastore was for leaderstats only. My bad.
It can save any data
