The best place to store data inside the individual player file under Players.
You make a script that creates an IntValue inside the player. It is basically the same principle used in game leaderboards. Here is a link to a wiki on IntValues to help you out!

Thanks for the help, I have made a leaderstats to hold the values but is there a way to hide or make the leaderstats invisable?

Just solved the problem, all you need is a leaderboard then all of the variables are saved even if they are at the same level as the leaderboard. This means that there will be no data shown in the leaderboard

If I answered your question please click the up arrow and check the little circle next to it. Thanks!
Just use a data store, this protects from exploiters in the player, or create a model inside of workspace that looks like this:
Workspace PlayersStuff micke3212 values values configuration etc
Then just use the :SaveInstance() method to save this model before the player leaves.
