In my opinion, the best way to store data for players is by using DataStore. You can learn more about that here: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Data_store
I will put an example below. This is only for reference. You might be able to copy and paste my script, but you won't learn anything. I would recommend that you do some research and regard this as an example if you need help.
01 | local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService") |
02 | local GoldStore = DataStore:GetDataStore("GoldStore") -- You can call this whatever you want. |
03 |
04 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) |
05 | local Leaderboard = Instance.new("Folder",Player) |
06 | local Gold = Instance.new("IntValue",Leaderboard) |
07 | Leaderboard.Name = "leaderstats" |
08 | Gold.Name = "Gold" |
09 | Gold.Value = GoldStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId) or 0 |
10 | -- The code block above creates a simple leaderboard with gold. Whenever a player joins, their amount of gold is set to either A: The amount of gold saved last time they played or B: zero. The value of Gold will only be zero if the player has never saved a value for gold under their player ID in your game. |
11 |
12 | Gold.Changed:Connect(function() |
13 | GoldStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Gold.Value) |
14 | end) |
15 | -- The code block above makes sure that whenever the player's gold is modified, it saves it to the server. |
16 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player) |
17 | local Gold = Player.leaderstats.Gold |
18 | GoldStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Gold.Value) |
19 | end) |
20 | -- Finally, when a player leaves, their gold is saved once more. |
