Please make your question title relevant to your question content. It should be a one-sentence summary in question form.

This is a part of a script on Roblox wiki, Saving Player Data. I've tried altering it in all sorts of ways but i just can't figure anything out. I've made an obby and a leaderboard that tracks 2 things.The level you've reached and a number of trophies you've collected, and that's the information that's i need saved when a player leaves(i also need it to teleport the player to a checkpoint of a level,based on this info, but i'd be happy with just getting it to remember the numbers) Most of the script is already done i just don't understand what variables i need to add to make it work for my game.

Thanks for your time

01-- Setup table that we will return to scripts that require the ModuleScript.
02local PlayerStatManager = {}
03 
04-- Create variable for the DataStore.
05local DataStoreService = game:GetService('DataStoreService')
06local playerData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore('Mobbystats')
07 
08 
09-- Table to hold all of the player information for the current session.
10local sessionData = {}
11 
12-- Function the other scripts in our game can call to change a player's stats. This
13-- function is stored in the returned table so external scripts can use it.
14function PlayerStatManager:ChangeStat(player, statName, changeValue)
15    sessionData[player][statName] = sessionData[player][statName] + changeValue
16end
17 
18-- Function to retry the passed in function several times. If the passed in function
19-- is unable to be run then this function returns false and creates an error.
20local function dataStoreRetry(dataStoreFunction)
21    local tries = 0
22    local success = true
23    local data = nil
24    repeat
25        tries = tries + 1
26        success = pcall(function() data = dataStoreFunction() end)
27        if not success then wait(1) end
28    until tries == DATASTORE_RETRIES or success
29    if not success then
30        error('Could not access DataStore! Warn players that their data might not get saved!')
31    end
32    return success, data
33end

35-- Function to retrieve player's data from the DataStore.
36local function getPlayerData(player)
37    return dataStoreRetry(function()
38        return playerData:GetAsync(player.UserId)

47        end)
48    end
49end

51-- Function to add player to the sessionData table. First check if the player has
52-- data in the DataStore. If so, we'll use that. If not, we'll add the player to
53-- the DataStore.
