My data store saving does not work, what do I do? [closed]

So I was using alvinblox's tutorial on how to make a simulator part 3, and I did the data store but when I join the game on roblox and get the numbers to what I want and then rejoin, it didn't save. Heres the code:

01local serverStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
02local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("PlayerSave3")
03 
04game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
05 
06    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
07    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
08    leaderstats.Parent = player
09 
10    local intelligence = Instance.new("NumberValue")
11    intelligence.Name = "Intelligence"
12    intelligence.Parent = leaderstats
13 
14    local rebirths = Instance.new("IntValue")
15    rebirths.Name = "Rebirths"
16    rebirths.Parent = leaderstats
17 
18    local dataFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
19    dataFolder.Name = player.Name
20    dataFolder.Parent = serverStorage.RemoteData
21 
22    local debounce = Instance.new("BoolValue")
23    debounce.Name = "Debounce"
24    debounce.Parent = dataFolder
25 
26    local intelligenceData, rebirthsData
27 
28    local success,errormessage = pcall(function()
29        intelligenceData = DataStore:GetAsync("intelligence-"..player.UserId)
30        rebirthsData = DataStore:GetAsync("rebirths-"..player.UserId)
31    end)
32 
33    if success then
34        if intelligenceData then
35            intelligence.Value = intelligenceData
36            rebirths.Value = rebirthsData
37        end
38    end
39 
40end)
41 
42game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
43    local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
44        DataStore:SetSync("intelligence-"..player.UserId,player.leaderstats.Intelligence.Value)
45        DataStore:SetSync("rebirths-"..player.UserId,player.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value)
46    end)
47end)

You should put any errors you have next time, but I think I see the problem anyways.

1game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
2    local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
3            DataStore:SetSync("intelligence-"..player.UserId,player.leaderstats.Intelligence.Value)
4            DataStore:SetSync("rebirths-"..player.UserId,player.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value)
5    end)
6end)

DataStore:SetSync() does not exist as a real function. What you're looking for is DataStore:SetAsync()

1game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
2    local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
3            DataStore:SetAsync("intelligence-"..player.UserId,player.leaderstats.Intelligence.Value)
4            DataStore:SetAsync("rebirths-"..player.UserId,player.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value)
5    end)
6end)
