Can you tell me why this isn't working?


local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local store = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PLSHELP")





local function leaderstat(plr)

    local leader = Instance.new("Folder")
    leader.Name = "leaderstats"
    leader.Parent = plr

    local lettrboyos = Instance.new("IntValue")
    lettrboyos.Name = "Letters"
    lettrboyos.Parent = plr.leaderstats
    lettrboyos.Value = DataStoreService:GetAsync(plr.UserID) or 0

    DataStoreService:SetAsync(plr.UserID,lettrboyos.Value)

        lettrboyos.Value.Changed:Connect(function()

            DataStoreService:SetAsync(plr.UserID,lettrboyos.Value)

    end)

    local heartstaken = Instance.new("IntValue")
    heartstaken.Name = "Hearts"
    heartstaken.Parent = plr.leaderstats
    heartstaken.Value = DataStoreService:GetAsync(plr.UserID) or 0

    DataStoreService:SetAsync(plr.UserID,heartstaken.Value)

        heartstaken.Value.Changed:Connect(function()

            DataStoreService:SetAsync(plr.UserID,heartstaken.Value)

    end)

    game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()

        DataStoreService:SetAsync(plr.UserID,lettrboyos.Value)
        DataStoreService:SetAsync(plr.UserID,heartstaken.Value)

    end)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(leaderstat)

It doesn't work because you are overriding the data in the database. You need either 2 separate databases or another key to separate them. Torren_Mr 334 — 4y

If you want create a real DataBase, check this script have make for you.

local PlayerService = game:GetService('Players')
local RunService = game:GetService('RunService')
local HttpService = game:GetService('HttpService')
local DataStoreService = game:GetService('DataStoreService')

local Store = DataStoreService:GetDataStore('PLSHELP')

local SessionData = {} -- Here you can stock the datas session of your current player

PlayerService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) -- You can put the function directly in the connection.
    local cid = plr.UserId

    SessionData[cid] = { -- Create a session
        data = {
            lettrboyos = 0 -- Set the value per default to 0
        },
        update_lst = Instance.new('BindableEvent'), -- To update your leaderstats
        save_function = nil -- To save your data
    }

    if not RunService:IsStudio() then -- Check if you're run on Studio because DataStore doesn't working on Studio.
        local get_store = Store:GetAsync(cid) -- get store
        if get_store ~= nil and type(get_store) == 'string' then
            pcall(function()
                local decode = HttpService:JSONDecode(get_store)
                if type(decode) == 'table' then
                    SessionData[cid].data = decode -- You have retry your data congrats!
                end
            end)
        end
    end

    local lst = Instance.new('Folder', plr)
    lst.Name = 'leaderstats'

    local lttbs = Instance.new('IntValue', lst)
    lttbs.Name = 'letter'

    SessionData[cid].update_lst.Event:Connect(function()
        lttbs.Value = SessionData[cid].data.lettrboyos -- set your value
    end)

    SessionData[cid].save_function = function()
        if not RunService:IsStudio() then
            pcall(function()
                Store:SetAsync(cid, HttpService:JSONEncode(SessionData[cid].data)) -- Here we use JSONEncode to tranforme table to string, because DataStore can't save tables.
            end)
        end
    end

    SessionData[cid].data.lettrboyos = 10
    SessionData[cid].update_lst:Fire()

    SessionData[cid].save_function() -- Saving

end)

PlayerService.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    local cid = plr.UserId

    SessionData[cid].save_function() -- Saving
end)

spawn(function() -- Create a new coroutine
    while wait(60) do -- Save players data all 60 secondes ago.
        for i, v in next, SessionData do
            if type(v) == 'table' and v['save_function'] ~= nil then -- verification step
                v.save_function()
            end
        end
    end
end)

Now if you want share SessionData with all script you can use _G to create a Global Varaible than all script can use.

local SessionData = {} -- Here you can stock the datas session of your current player
_G.ProfileData = SessionData

You can find this variable like that with other script

local ProfileData = (function()
    repeat wait()
        if _G.ProfileData ~= nil then
            return _G.ProfileData
        end
    until _G.ProfileData -- waiting _G.ProfileData was be created
end)()
