Leaderboard stats aren't saving?
scoreKey = "PlayerScore"
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local stat = Instance.new("IntValue")
stat.Name = "leaderstats"
stat.Parent = player
local WinTokens = Instance.new("IntValue")
WinTokens.Name = "WinTokens"
WinTokens.Parent = stat
WinTokens.Value = player:LoadNumber(scoreKey)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
if player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
player:SaveNumber(scoreKey, player.leaderstats.WinTokens.Value)
end
end)
This script is a normal script in serverscriptservice.
I read the wiki on data persistence and made this script, but it doesn't work. Whats the problem?

PlayerDataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("PlayerScore")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local stats = Instance.new("Folder")
stats.Name = "leaderstats"
stats.Parent = player
WinTokens = Instance.new("IntValue")
WinTokens.Name = "WinTokens"
WinTokens.Parent = stats
WinTokens.Value = PlayerDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
player.leaderstats.WinTokens.Changed:Connect(function()
PlayerDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, WinTokens.Value)
end)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
if player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
PlayerDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, WinTokens.Value)
end
end)
If you've looked at the wiki and are having troubles putting it together, here's what it should be. When you use GetAsync(player.UserId) it returns a value attached with the player's id. That value is changed when you use SetAsync(player.UserId, WinTokens.Value) where WinTokens.Value is the value attached. I put an extra changed event in there so it always saves one the value changes. Hope this helps!

Data Persistence is old and deprecated, It's very buggy, try to learn the new way, using Data Stores.
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Data_store
they're more reliable than data persistence
