I'm making a data store script and I can't seem to see an error. There is no error in the output either. Here is my script, pls fix if possible.

01local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02local cashDSS = DSS:GetDataStore("CurrencyStore")
03 
04game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
05 
06    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",plr)
07    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
08 
09    local Currency = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
10    Currency.Name = "Bucks"
11 
12    local data
13 
14    local success, errormsg = pcall(function()
15        data = cashDSS:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Bucks")
16    end)
17 
18    if success then
19        Currency.Value = data
20        print("data of "..plr.Name.." has been loaded") --//Prints this
21    end
22 
23    if errormsg then
24        print("Data of "..plr.Name.." couldn't be loaded") --//I'm assuming this works
25        warn(errormsg)
26    end
27 
28end)
29 
30game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
31    local success, errormsg = pcall(function()
32        cashDSS:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Bucks", plr.leaderstats.Bucks.Value)
33    end)
34 
35    if success then
36        print("Successfully saved data of "..plr.Name) --//Doesn't print
37    else
38        print("Data could not be saved of "..plr.Name) --//Doesn't print
39        warn(errormsg) --//Doesn't warn
40    end
41end)

This happened to me when I was making a datastore, but I found a fix. There is a roblox function called game:BindToClose, this event fires when all the players leave and keeps the server open until what is inside the function is done running. I suggest you make a function like SaveData so that way you don't have to put 2 duplicates of your code in 2 places. I really hope this helped.

Thanks I'll try it out now kingblaze_1000 359 — 5y
