datastore is not saving data?

I fixed the problem, was just some minor capitalization errors on my part.
First of all Remember to turn API Services on, so you need to publish the game and go to game settings and turn API Services on
Second of all it does not work in roblox studio
Third of all your good to go!

Are there any errors in the output, and if so, what line is throwing the error?
no errors
Also, could you explain your problem in more detail instead of saying it doesn't work and posting your script?
the value isnt saving
remove the local player = on line 4 as it is pointless
i tried again and got this error "UserId is not a valid member of RBXScriptConnection"
How are you testing whether or not it saves? If you play the game and manually edit your intvalue, it won't save. However, if you write up a script that changes to intvalue, it does save.
i have a collectible coin that I tried picking up
Also, you should add "player" as a parameter for the leave function
As akatak_prime said add in the player paramater as your code will try and read the varable on line 4. Lua will take the variable that has the closest scope if multiple variable with the same name exist.
