add = 1

button.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    if player.leaderstats.Money.Value >= cost then
        player.leaderstats.Money.Value = player.leaderstats.Money.Value - cost
        player.leaderstats.MPS.Value = player.leaderstats.MPS.Value + add
        cost = cost + 50

So basically, you need a DataStore? I'm kinda confused by your question but if you need a DataStore I can help you out. Michael_TheCreator 166 — 6y

So you need an easy to understand and use DataStore script to save your leaderboard? Worry not, got just the right tool for you, saves automatically the values and names!

Just put this in a SCRIPT in Workspace


game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
    local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(player.Name.."Stats")--Player key

local statstorage = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):GetChildren()
for i =  1, #statstorage do
    datastore:SetAsync(statstorage[i].Name, statstorage[i].Value)

end
end)


game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
        local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(player.Name.."Stats")

    player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
    wait(1)
    local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats"):GetChildren()
    for i = 1, #stats do            
    stats[i].Value = datastore:GetAsync(stats[i].Name)
        end
end)
