How Come my DataStore/Leaderboard won't work?
So I have a LeaderBoard that won't work and I don't get told why it won't work in the Developer Panel I don't exactly know why. What exactly could be going wrong?
---Script---
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
cash.Name = "Cash"
cash.Value = DataStoreService:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
local data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
data = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-cash")
end)
if success then
cash.Value = data
else
print("There was a error whilst getting your data")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
myDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-cash",player.leaderstats.Cash.Value)
end)
if success then
print("Player Data successfully saved!")
else
print("There was a error when saving data")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)

Make sure to set the cash parent to the leaderstats folder ForeverBrown 356 — 4y

You forgot to set the Parent for your cash value like ForeverBrown stated. If you don't do it it won't be showing in the leaderboard.
Behind the if success then if statement you can add cash.Parent = leaderstats

For Flowery
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
cash.Name = "Cash"
cash.Parent = leaderstats
cash.Value = 0
local data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
data = myDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-cash")
end)
if success then
cash.Value = data
else
print("There was a error whilst getting your data")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
myDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-cash",player.leaderstats.Cash.Value)
end)
if success then
print("Player Data successfully saved!")
else
print("There was a error when saving data")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)
