I've got a script to assign 3 hidden values to the player as they join, but it doesn't work. I get nothing in the output either, it just doesn't assign the values.

wait(2) -- wait for the character to load

pointsKey = "PlayerPoints"
coinsKey = "PlayerCoins"
newKey = "PlayerNew"

function assignValues(plr)
    plr:WaitForDataReady();
    points = Instance.new("NumberValue")
    coins = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	notnew = Instance.new("BoolValue")
	
	
    --new
	notnew.Parent = plr
	notnew.Name = "NotNew"
	notnew.Value = plr:LoadBoolean(newKey)

    --points and coins
    points.Parent = plr
    points.Name = "Points"

	coins.Parent = plr
    coins.Name = "Coins"

    if notnew.Value == false then --check if player is new
		plr.NotNew.Value = true
		plr.Points.Value = 0
		plr.Coins.Value = 0
			if plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Tutorial.Visible == false then
				plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Tutorial.Visible = true
				plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Tutorial.Position = UDim2.new(0, -600, 0, 100)
				plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Tutorial:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,500,0,100), "Out", "Bounce", 1)
			end
	elseif notnew.Value == true then
		plr.Points.Value = plr:LoadNumber(pointsKey)
		plr.Coins.Value = plr:LoadNumber(coinsKey)
	end

    points.Changed:connect(function() saveStats(plr) end)
   	coins.Changed:connect(function() saveStats(plr) end)
    notnew.Changed:connect(function() saveStats(plr) end)

end

function saveStats(plr)
    --coins and points save
    plr:SaveNumber(coinsKey, plr.Coins.Value)
    plr:SaveNumber(pointsKey, plr.Points.Value)
	--new save
	plr:SaveBoolean(newKey, plr.NotNew.Value)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(assignValues)

Just so you know, this script attempts to utilize Data Persistence, not DataStores. They are two separate things.

You should not be using wait(2) at the top since you are attempting to hook into PlayerAdded.

BlueTaslem is right, never use wait() when PlayerAdded is involved.
