How to use datastores that saves the players total leaderstat value?
So for this game, I've made the players leaderstat value reset to 0 each time they join.
I have this script that saves their leaderstat value when they leave :
local Data = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("StageDataStore")
local function Added(Player)
local LS = Instance.new("Folder",Player)
LS.Name = "leaderstats"
local Stage = Instance.new("NumberValue", LS)
Stage.Name = "Stage"
end
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
Data:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Player.leaderstats.Stage.Value)
end)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(Added)
How can I add the players existing leaderstat to the datastore since all of it will be reset once they rejoin? Or in other terms how can I save the players total, overall leaderstat values?
I believe that I have to use UpdateAsync but I couldn't figure it out. Help please!

From what you asked I think you are trying to say that you want them to start from 0 each time they join but still have their overall kills for each time they have played be saved somewhere. If you are just looking for a general datastore thats fine as well this will fith both needs.
Create a folder in ReplicatedStorage called PlayerData, update whatever pvp scripts you are using to update the Kills and Deaths inside that folder alongside your current leaderstats via the hierarchy of:
game.Players = game.Players.LocalPlayer
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").PlayerData:WaitForChild(player.name).Stats
You can then have a place in game or on a gui to display their total career stats by pulling the values from the folder referenced above. The main script below simply goes in a script in the ServerScriptService.
I added a cash line if you have a money system you would like to save as well but you can simply remove it if it is not needed as well as copying those lines for more stats you wish to create.
Don't forget to change the key on the first line as well.
local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("PUTRANDOMKEYHERE")
local PlayerData = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("PlayerData")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local PlayerFolder = Instance.new("Folder", PlayerData)
PlayerFolder.Name = player.name
local Stats = Instance.new("Folder", PlayerFolder)
Stats.Name = "Stats"
local Kills = Instance.new("IntValue", Stats)
Kills.Name = "Kills"
local Deaths = Instance.new("IntValue", Stats)
Deaths.Name = "Deaths"
local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue", Stats)
Cash.Name = "Cash"
local SavedData = DS:GetAsync(player.userId)
if SavedData then --// Load Saved Data
for i,v in pairs(SavedData) do
if 1 % 2 == 0 then
PlayerData[player.Name].Stats:FindFirstChild(SavedData[i - 1]).Value = v
end
end
end
end)
local function SaveValues(player) --// Save Data Function
local Data = {}
for i,v in pairs(PlayerData[player.name].Stats:GetChildren()) do
Data[#Data + 1] = v.Name
Data[#Data + 1] = v.Value
end
DS:SetAsync(player.userId, Data)
end
game:BindToClose(function() --// Save Data on server close
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
SaveValues(player)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player) --// Save Data on player leaving
SaveValues(player)
end)
