How to set a sum of money in this DataStore script ?
Hello everyone, So, I copied code from DataStore and I would like to define a sum of money but my tests don't work, I don't know how to do it.
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
local data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
data = myDataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-cash")
end)
if success then
cash.Value = data
else
print("There was an 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("Data successfully saved")
else
print("There was an error when saving data")
warn(errormessage)
end
end)
I tryed:
local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
cash.Name = "Cash"
cash.Parent = leaderstats
cash.Value = 1000
But it doesn't work, help me please

Hello, if by "define" you mean set a specific amount of currency to the player when you join the game, so for example, the player starts with a certain amount, add this to line 12 of your script;
cash.Value = 1000
If you don't mean this, and mean that you wish to test this datastore, then when you "run" or "server test" the game, open the Menu>Settings>(Scroll to the Bottom)Dev Consol>Server And on the "Command Line" at the bottom type the following line;
game.Players.USERNAME.cash.Value = NUM
Where USERNAME is your ROBLOX Username, and NUM is the amount.
Please comment below if you have any questions ,or if I didn't answer what you wished!
