Player data for "leaderstats" won't save on my world, anyone know a fix?

Asked by

local DSServ = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local plrServ = DSServ:GetDataStore("PlrLeaderboard")

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

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

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(client)
    local userId = client.UserId 
    if userId == 316061618 then 
        print("THE OWNER IS HERE!")
        client.leaderstats.Cash.Value = client.leaderstats.Cash.Value + 1000
    end
    local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
        plrServ:SetAsync(client.UserId.."-cash", client.leaderstats.Cash.Value)
    end)

    if success then 
        print("Successfully saved data!")
    else 
        print("An error occured attempting to save data")
        warn(errorMessage)
    end
end)

This may seem like a lot, but I'm just trying to save player data to set up a currency system for a game (the world has API for Studio turned on). I made a mechanic that adds 1000 to my currency whenever I leave the game (it checks for my UserId and adds it if the current player's Id and mine match, meaning it's me). I don't know what the problem is, but it won't save the data. Please let me know what the problem is if you think you know. Thx

Maybe you don't load it once you join? Robloxian_Hero1234 14 — 5y

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local CashData = DataStore:GetOrderedDataStore("Cash")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local Cash = CashData:GetAsync(plr.UserId) 
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    local CashValue = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
    CashValue.Value = Cash
    leaderstats.Parent = plr
    CashValue.Name = "Cash"

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    local Cash = plr.leaderstats.Cash.Value
    CashData:SetAsync(plr.UserId,Cash)
    print("Saved data")
end)

--you can change anything called Cash to your currency

Thanks, the script worked! Btw could you explain how this all works. Do it only if you want to, just wanting to know that I understand what the code is doing. User#28017 0 — 5y

Line 8 is just for me. It for a different script. Forgot to take that out GunzerkingBeast21 -4 — 5y
