I'm very new to scripting, and i was wondering how i can save my leaderstats, here is my script

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player) leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
cash.Name = "Cash"
cash.Value = 0
cash.Parent = leaderstats

local coin = Instance.new("IntValue")
coin.Name = "Coins"
coin.Value = 0
coin.Parent = leaderstats

local Rebirths = Instance.new("IntValue")
Rebirths.Name = "Rebirths"
Rebirths.Value = 0
Rebirths.Parent = leaderstats

end)

You can save stats through data stores, replace the whole code of your script with this code:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStoreVersion = 1 -- Changing this version will wipe all data of players
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("DataStoreV"..DataStoreVersion) -- Changing "DataStoreV" will also wipe all data of players

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    local Leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",Player)
    Leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue",Leaderstats)
    Cash.Name = "Cash"
    local Coins = Instance.new("IntValue",Leaderstats)
    Coins.Name = "Coins"
    local Rebirths = Instance.new("IntValue",Leaderstats)
    Rebirths.Name = "Rebirths"
    local loadedcash
    local loadedcoins
    local loadedrebirths
    local success,errormessage = pcall(function()
        loadedcash = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Cash")
        loadedcoins = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Coins")
        loadedrebirths = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Rebirths")
    end)
    if success then
        Cash.Value = loadedcash
        Coins.Value = loadedcoins
        Rebirths.Value = loadedrebirths
    else
        print("Data load encountered an error,Player Data not loaded")
        warn(errormessage)
    end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
    local success,errormesssage = pcall(function()
    DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Cash",Player.leaderstats.Cash.Value)
    DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Coins",Player.leaderstats.Coins.Value)
    DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId.."-Rebirths",Player.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value)
    end)
    if success then
        print("Data Save was successful")
    else
        print("Data Save Error Occured, Data not saved")
        warn(errormesssage)
        end
end)

The code works but you should also learn how to use data stores yourself.

Sorry for the late reply, but i appreciate you making this for me, i will try my best to study what you did so i can know for the future. ItzSulfonic 61 — 4y

the pcall function is used in this code so the script doesnt stop completely if there is an error loading stats, if the pcall function which is assigned to load or save player data succeeds then it will change the player stats to the loaded data, if there is an error it will print it in the output bar or developer console and not stop the script Lord_WitherAlt 206 — 4y
