datstore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local datast1 = datstore:GetDataStore("Yuan")
local datast2 = datstore:GetDataStore("Gems")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local folder = Instance.new("Folder",plr)
    folder.Name = "leaderstats"
    local gems = Instance.new("IntValue",folder)
    gems.Name = "Gems"
    local cash = Instance.new("IntValue",folder)
    cash.Name = "Cash"
gems.Value = datast1:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0
datast1:SetAsync(plr.UserId, gems.Value)

cash.Value = datast2:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0
datast2:SetAsync(plr.UserId, cash.Value)

gems.Changed:Connect(function()
    datast1:SetAsync(plr.UserId, gems.Value)
end)
cash.Changed:Connect(function()
    datast2:SetAsync(plr.UserId, cash.Value)
end)

end)

This code should work, are you getting any errors/warnings ingame? Check /console User#22604 1 — 5y

No im not getting any errors it just won't save User#22788 5 — 5y

Its in a serverscript and it is inside ServerScriptService User#22788 5 — 5y

are you changing gems' value locally or server side User#22604 1 — 5y

locally User#22788 5 — 5y

the server cannot tell when a value is changed locally, you'd have to use remote events to tell the server when to update the value User#22604 1 — 5y

Who downvoted this..? greatneil80 2647 — 5y

Note that, unless 'gems' and 'cash' rarely change, you're likely to get throttling problems by calling SetAsync every time they change (at least you might when you have more players in a server than just yourself). chess123mate 5873 — 5y

You have to activate the API services thingy in your game settings.
