How do I make leaderstats that save when you leave the game?
Saving and loading leaderboard
I know how to create a leaderboard but I do not know how to save it when a player leaves the game and load when the player rejoins. I am trying to do tutorials but all five of them did not work for me. All I ask is that someone who knows this stuff gives me an answer on how to make a saving and loading leaderboard
my code is down here and this is the tutorial I used for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS20iM7iRQE
1 | local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService") local ds1 = datastore:GetDataStore("GemSaveSystem") local ds2 = datastore:GetDataStore("CashSaveSystem") game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) local folder = Instance.new("Folder", plr) folder.Name = "leaderstats" local gems = Instance.new("IntValue", folder) gems.Name = "Gems" local cash = Instance.new("IntValue", folder) cash.Name = "Cash" gems.Value = ds1:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0 ds1:SetAsync(plr.UserId, gems.Value) cash.Value = ds2:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0 ds2:SetAsync(plr.UserId, cash.Value) gems.Changed:connect(function() ds1:SetAsync(plr.UserId, gems.Value) end) cash.Changed:connect(function() ds2:SetAsync(plr.UserId, cash.Value) end) end) |

Are you playing your game in Studio or on Player? If you're doing it in Studio, you have to activate the DataStoreService in game settings. BlueGrovyle 278 — 6y

here is more info about DataStore: https://developer.roblox.com/articles/Data-store
Take Note:
- Turn on Enable Studio Access To API Services
- Should be a script
- Put in ServerScriptService
- Make your game a test when you turn ^^ on.
- Copy the test to a new game.
- Turn off Access To API Services once copied.
Accept my answer if it works for you!
Edited Script:
01 | local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") --Service for DataStore |
02 | local cashDataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("cashDataStore")--DataStore for Cash |
03 |
04 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
05 | local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player) |
06 | leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" |
07 |
08 | local cash = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats) |
09 | cash.Name = "Cash" |
10 |
11 | local data -- keep nil for now |
12 | local success,errormessage = pcall(function() --Message for success or error |
13 | data = cashDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Cash") --Put "-Cash" in case you want to add more values and to know what value |
14 | end) |
15 | if success then --Checks if data is successfully loaded |
16 | cash.Value = data |
17 | else |
18 | print("There was an error while getting data") |
19 | warn(errormessage) --Warn is like print, but in yellow |
20 | end |
21 | end) |
22 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) -- When player is removed do |
23 | local success,errormessage = pcall(function() |
24 | cashDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Cash",player.leaderstats.Cash.Value) |
25 | end) |
26 | if success then |
27 | print("Data successfully saved!") |
28 | else |
29 | print("There was an error when saving data!") |
30 | warn(errormessage) |
31 | end |
32 | end) |

I am sorry. I am a noob at scripting and even with that i could not figure it out. Can i ask for a script with one save thing that saves leaderstats called "Cash". I know I will learn from it by studying the code. purplemaniak7 10 — 6y

I tried your script first copy-pasting promising if it worked I would look it over and see what was done to complete this. But it did not work. I tried to edit the script with the very little scripting i knew but then it just stopped working completely. So I tried the links you put there. I tried 3 of them before this but none of them helped me. purplemaniak7 10 — 6y

I am now working on a tycoon game and I am a bit better at scripting so im thinking i can insert numValues in the player via script and each of them will tell if the player has the droppers or not but i still cannot save them, by looking at the script, it looks like it would create another set of leaderstats so i could cut some parts off but the problem is i do not know where to cut it off... purplemaniak7 10 — 5y

What I would suggest is adding on a pcall that ensures that if data fails to save or load that you will know in the developer log and you could also let the player know as well. This is the code I use to save my player data, i could of made it more efficient with the parenting yes, but you get the idea. This should work, try it out. Hope this helps!
