35    print("Saved")
36end)

shop script

01local price = script.Parent.Parent.Price
02local tools = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Tools")
03local tool = tools:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.ItemName.Value)
04local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
05 
06script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
07    if player.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Point") then
08        if player.leaderstats.Point.Value >= price.Value then
09             player.leaderstats.Point.Value =  player.leaderstats.Point.Value - price.Value
10            local clone = tool:Clone()
11            clone.Parent = player.Backpack
12 
13            local clone2 = tool:Clone()
14            clone2.Parent = player.StarterGear
15        end
16    end
17end)

Actually, it works. When you play, if you buy the Points from the gamepass, the points is still be saved. But when you use that points to buy things in shop, the script doesn't save the points which have been decrease. Can anyone solve the problem? Thanks you guys a lot

You don't give the script of the shop? How are we supposed to find a solution then? However, the problem may be that you're changing the value of points on the client, so the server doesn't recognize it. Are you using RemoteEvents to decrease the points? User#22980 0 — 6y
