How do I make leaderstats that save when you leave the game?

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:

local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") --Service for DataStore
local cashDataStore = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("cashDataStore")--DataStore for Cash

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

    local cash = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
    cash.Name = "Cash"

    local data -- keep nil for now
    local success,errormessage = pcall(function() --Message for success or error
        data = cashDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Cash") --Put "-Cash" in case you want to add more values and to know what value
    end)
    if success then --Checks if data is successfully loaded
        cash.Value = data
    else
        print("There was an error while getting data")
        warn(errormessage) --Warn is like print, but in yellow
    end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) -- When player is removed do
    local success,errormessage = pcall(function()
        cashDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Cash",player.leaderstats.Cash.Value)
    end)
    if success then
        print("Data successfully saved!")
    else
        print("There was an error when saving data!")
        warn(errormessage)
    end
end)

Hi, this is the script. I hope you don't just copy and paste. Just to make it easier for you to understand, I added some comments. I understand that you're a beginner so just to let you under stand more, here are some more links. Read up! Click me! Click me! Click me! Click me! Click me!

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!

    local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local OrbDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("OrbDataStore")

local TicketDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("TicketDataStore")



game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")

leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

leaderstats.Parent = player

local orbs = Instance.new("IntValue")

orbs.Name = "Orbs"

orbs.Parent = leaderstats

local tickets = Instance.new("IntValue")

tickets.Name = "Tickets"

tickets.Parent = leaderstats

local data

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()

data = OrbDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."orbs")

end)

if success then

orbs.Value = data

else

print("There was an error while getting your Orb data")

warn(errormessage)

end

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()

data = TicketDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."tickets")

end)

if success then

tickets.Value = data

else

print("There was an error while grabbing your Ticket data")

warn(errormessage)

end

end)



game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()

OrbDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."orbs",player.leaderstats.Orbs.Value)

end)

if success then

print("Orb Data Successfully Saved")

else

print("There was an error while saving Orb data")

warn(errormessage)

end

local success, errormessage = pcall(function()

TicketDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."tickets",player.leaderstats.Tickets.Value)

end)

if success then

print("Ticket Data Successfully Saved")

else

print("There was an error while saving Ticket data")

warn(errormessage)

end

end)
