Did you test the data-store in-game?

[split notch]

Can Studio access DataStore?

Go to Game Settings -> Security -> Enable Studio Access to API Services and make sure thats on

[charred spade]

it wasnt on and i enabled it and it still is not working

[charred spade]

yeahhh

Convert the function you connected to Players.PlayerRemoving to a named function, then add the following code:

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(...)
    -- ...
end)

-- To:

local function onPlayerRemoving(...)
   -- ...
end

Then:

-- Change to
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(onPlayerRemoving)

game:BindToClose(function()
    for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
        task.spawn(onPlayerRemoving, player)
    end
end)

The server shuts down when the last client disconnects, and that is always the case in a solo studio session

ok but just a question, what does for**_** mean and what is the difference between it and i second question is what does task.spawn mean

is it just like spawn()???

"i" has zero functional significance—it's just a "loop" variable

Like any variable, you can choose any valid name

"_" is among those valid names. "_" is used to name variables whose existence is necessary to reach positional values, but will will never be used

Why name a variable something if it will never be called upon? "_" acts a blank space, so it's optimal over a random character
