game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) local folder = Instance.new(“Folder”, plr) folder.Name = “leaderstats” local value = Instance.new(“IntValue”, folder) value.Name = “Money”

Assuming you incorrectly used DataStores, To insert/modify data in a DataStore array you must use SetAsync, UpdateAsync and RemoveAsync.
SetAsync creates a new value and modifies it to the parameters specified.
Ex.
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ExampleStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("ExampleData")
ExampleStore:SetAsync("ExamplePlayer", 50)
This creates a new value ExamplePlayer and sets it's corresponding value to 50.
UpdateAsync modifies an existing value to the parameters specified.
Ex.
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ExampleStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("ExampleData")
ExampleStore:UpdateAsync("ExamplePlayer", 50)
This changes ExamplePlayer's corresponding value to 50
RemoveAsync removes a value in the array.
Ex.
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ExampleStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("ExampleData")
ExampleStore:RemoveAsync("ExamplePlayer")
This removes ExamplePlayer and its corresponding value
For more see Data Stores.
Here you go hope this helps also put this in server script service! Any questions? Just ask me!
local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService") -- DONT CHANGE
local ds1 = datastore:GetDataStore("GemSaveSystem") -- DONT CHANGE
local ds2 = datastore:GetDataStore("CashSaveSystem") -- DONT CHANGE
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
local folder = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
folder.Name = "leaderstats"
local gems = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
gems.Name = "HouseTickets" -- Change to your Currency
local cash = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
cash.Name = "Cash" -- Change to your Currency
gems.Value = ds1:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0
ds1:SetAsync(plr.UserId, gems.Value)
cash.Value = ds2:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0
ds2:SetAsync(plr.UserId, cash.Value)
gems.Changed:connect(function()
ds1:SetAsync(plr.UserId, gems.Value)
end)
cash.Changed:connect(function()
ds2:SetAsync(plr.UserId, cash.Value)
end)
end)
