My DataStore Script Does not Work for 2 value, while it works if it`s saving only 1 value. Any Idea?

I have this script to save Wins and Cash of each player. This script works perfectly fine if it is only saving Win value. However, when I also try to save cash value, it resets everything to 0 instead of saving current value. Can someone please help me?

---------- EDIT----------- After I posted this question, I tried to debug my self by printing. The problem I found is that no matter what I do, the script wont correctly read the value of IntValue. From the commandbar, it prints the correct value but when this script runs it returns 0.

07    leaderStats.Name = "leaderstats"

So the only thing I could say could be causing the problem would be the saving line data store is weird at least from what I have experienced and a simple way to fix this is save your data like this instead

view source
01game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
02    local wins = player.leaderstats.Wins.Value
03    local cash = player.otherData.Cash.Value
04    local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
05        playerData:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-playerData",{wins,cash} )
06    end)
07 
08    if success then
09        print("Successed on Saving Data")
10 
11    elseif errorMessage then
12        print("Unsuccessful DataSave")
13        warn(errorMessage)
14    end
15end)

I am unsure if that will work for you but that's what I resulted to in the past and seemed to work for me.

Thanks for your Help :D However, it still seems to reset all my data. Yuuwa0519 197 — 5y

If it all gets reset but doesn't return nil that means the script isn't able to get the values or when you try to update the values you are trying to update them as a client not server which in that case they don't really change but give the player the apperance they have deth836231 142 — 5y

You may have had something else there that you didn't notice that changed them or its just roblox being weird and doing that deth836231 142 — 5y
