Why is my datastore script not storing data?
Why is my datastore showing that money has been added, but doesn't really add?
Here is an image of what i'm talking about.

Here is the datastore script i'm using.
local DSService = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Leaderstats")
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local uniquekey = ("id-"..plr.UserId)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = plr
local savevalue = Instance.new("IntValue")
savevalue.Name = "Money"
savevalue.Value = 500
savevalue.Parent = leaderstats
local savevalue2 = Instance.new("IntValue")
savevalue2.Name = "Gems"
savevalue2.Value = 0
savevalue2.Parent = leaderstats
local GetSaved = DSService:GetAsync(uniquekey)
if GetSaved then
savevalue.Value = GetSaved[1]
savevalue2.Value = GetSaved[2]
else
local NumbersForSaving = {savevalue.Value, savevalue2.Value}
DSService:SetAsync(uniquekey, NumbersForSaving)
end
end)
game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local uniquekey = ("id-"..plr.UserId)
local Savetable = {plr.leaderstats.Money.Value, plr.leaderstats.Gems.Value}
DSService:SetAsync(uniquekey, Savetable)
end)

Doesn't really help us much, could you explain by what you mean for "doesn't really add"? Ziffixture 6913 — 5y

Did you check the photo? When money is added. It shows the money is added, but it isn't as you can see in the photo. When you print the money value it is the same as before! kittonlover101 201 — 5y

Are you changing the money stat on the client? SerpentineKing 3885 — 5y

Explanation
Since you are changing the stat on the Client, due to FilteringEnabled, it will not replicate to the Server. As a result, you will need to use a Remote Event to give the players their correct stat values.
Example Server Script
local remote = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
remote.Name = "SaveValueEvent"
remote.Parent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, stat, val)
if stat == "Money" then
plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Money").Value = val
elseif stat == "Gem" then
plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Gems").Value = val
end
end)
Example Local Script
local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("SaveValueEvent")
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local money = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Money")
local gem = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Gems")
money.Changed:Connect(function()
remote:FireServer("Money", money.Value)
end)
gem.Changed:Connect(function()
remote:FireServer("Gem", gem.Value)
end)
The above LocalScript simply sends the Server information when the values change on the Client (although this really should be done completely on the Server through the RemoteEvent)
Once the information is sent, the Server can then alter the leaderstat values, where they will be saved by your DataStore when the player leaves.
