Data Stores don't seem to be working?

So I'm having troubles with data stores despite the print debugging method working fully through. There seem to be no errors in output either. The script is in a folder in ServerScriptService.

01local DSService = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("KytesSave")
02local PlayersLeft = 0
03 
04game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
05    PlayersLeft = PlayersLeft + 1
06    local Kytes = Instance.new("IntValue")
07    Kytes.Name = "Kytes"
08    Kytes.Value = 0
09    Kytes.Parent = player
10    local player_data
11pcall (function()
12    player_data = DSService:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Kytes")
13end)
14 
15if player_data ~= nil then
16    Kytes.Value = player_data
17else
18    Kytes.Value = 0
19end
20end)
21 
22local bindableEvent = Instance.new('BindableEvent')
23 
24game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
25    pcall(function()
26        DSService:SetAsync(player.UserId..'-Kytes', player.Kytes.Value)
27        print("Saved")
28        PlayersLeft = PlayersLeft - 1
29        bindableEvent:Fire()
30    end)
31end)
32 
33game:BindToClose(function()
34    while PlayersLeft > 0 do
35        bindableEvent.Event:Wait()
36    end
37end)

What is it your trying to save? I don't understand.... Please explain what you are trying to do voidofdeathfire 148 — 5y

I'm trying to save the "Kytes" value, the currency of the game. itchymoonfire 179 — 5y

On line #26 {player.Kytes.Value}, On Line #16 {player_data[1]} User#26586 0 — 5y

Pretty sure Datastore only accepts tables and not values User#26586 0 — 5y
