I’m trying to make my leaderboard save my data but i don’t understand https://developer.roblox.com/articles/Saving-Player-Data
so can someone help me or make a script for me?
here is my code:
local players = game:GetService(“Players”)
local leaderboardData = game:GetService(“DataStoreService”):GetDataStore(“LeaderStats”)

local button = script.Parent
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leader = Instance.new(“Model”, player)
leader.Name = “leaderstats”
local cash = Instance.new(“IntValue”, leader)
cash.Name = “Cash”
local crimelevel = Instance.new(“IntValue”, leader)
crimelevel.Name = “Crime Level”
crimelevel.Value = 0
end)
the code is located in SeverScriptService.

first, you create "players" and don't use it, second you create "leaderboardData" and never use it greatneil80 2647 — 6y

You can use mine if you want.

view source
01local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Something")
02-- In Something put a text like 'Coins' 'CoinSave' etc. it is up to you.
03game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
04 
05local key = "Coins_ID:"..player.UserId
06 
07local folder = Instance.new("Folder",player)
08 
09folder.Name = "leaderstats"
10 
11local coins = Instance.new("IntValue",folder)
12 
13coins.Name = "Coins"
14 
15coins.Value = 0
16 
17local save = DataStore:GetAsync(key)
18 
19if save then
20 
21coins.Value = save
22 
23end
24 
25repeat
26 
27DataStore:SetAsync(key,coins.Value)
28 
29wait(5)
30 
31until game.Players.PlayerRemoving
32 
33game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
34 
35DataStore:SetAsync(key,coins.Value)
36 
37end)
38 
39end)

I use this and it will create a leaderboard, and save it every 5 seconds![and when a player is leaving]

no it doesn't have to be public, and try using a 'Script' in ServerScriptService. Also have you changed any of these scripts? And if there is an error in the output, try using warn() or print() to find which part is the error tree_tree00 48 — 6y

check your player folder and see if there are multiple 'leaderstats' folder. Only needs one, and if you want to make more just make more inside the folder. tree_tree00 48 — 5y
