How to fix bug with leaderstats data saving?
I need to save leaderstats in DataStore. My leaderstats are:
Cash
InBucket
Catches
I need a universal but simple script for saving these, and also other values I didn't mention. I know there ARE TONS of tutorials and guides for it but seems like none helped me yet (out of date or too complex). Also, I already have these values created in a script, and I want to save in another, so please do not make them again. (IK it isn't a request site, if you are against requesters, try to at least explain.) Please help... Any help is much appreciated. Also, I deleted the script cause it didn't work, if you could explain me how to create new simple one, i would really appreciate it :)

Ok I wrote this script for you that should save the stats. If you have any errors dm me and I will try to fix them. You could also look at the wiki for later stuff, for example DataStore in this case https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/function/DataStoreService/GetDataStore .
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Stats = DataStore:GetDataStore("Stats")
function GetStats(Player)
local Success,Return = pcall(function()
return Stats:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
end)
if Success then
Return = Http:JSONDecode(Return)
return Return
else
print("Getting data error :"..Return)
return {}
end
end
function SetStats(Player)
local info = {}
info.Cash = Player.Leaderstats.Cash.Value
info.InBucket = Player.Leaderstats.InBucket.Value
info.Catches = Player.Leaderstats.Catches.Value
info = Http:JSONEncode(info)
local Success,Error = pcall(function()
Stats:SetAsync(Player.UserId,info)
end)
if not Success then
print("Setting data error :"..Error)
end
end
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local Stats = GetStats(Player)
Player:WaitForChild("Leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Cash").Value = Stats.Cash
Player:WaitForChild("Leaderstats"):WaitForChild("InBucket").Value = Stats.InBucket
Player:WaitForChild("Leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Catches").Value = Stats.Catches
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(SetStats)
