[shadow haven]

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local moneyStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerMoney")

local function setupLeaderstats(player, cashValue)
-- Remove old leaderstats if they exist
local oldStats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
if oldStats then
oldStats:Destroy()

local money = Instance.new("IntValue")

money.Value = cashValue or 0
money.Parent = leaderstats

local seatvalue = Instance.new("BoolValue")
seatvalue.Name = "SeatValue"
seatvalue.Value = false
seatvalue.Parent = leaderstats

-- Save money when it changes
money.Changed:Connect(function()
    -- Use money.Value instead of the event argument (which is a string)
    pcall(function()
        moneyStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, money.Value)
    end)
end)

end

Because AI is stupid

[grand arrow]

what does output say?

check studio settings

this is chatgpt?

go to game settings, and then go to settings, and make sure the second option is turned on

[ancient pecan]

yeah u gotta enable api service in game settings if u haven’t

[shadow haven]

No I tried debugging with visual studio code

[shadow haven]

I have

[grand arrow]

then its your code thats an issue

stop using chatgpt

if anything use deepseek

other than that learn yourself

deepseek, and claude are way better than skidgpt

[shadow haven]

it wasn't AI just visual studio code for debugging

[shadow haven]

uhm

I would check that out

I will message here if that works

[ancient pecan]

so u coded everything above?

[grand arrow]

@shadow haven atleast show us the output of the code

[shadow haven]

Yea i am changing a bit right now and I will test it

[grand arrow]

why would you remove old leaderstats? its not going to exist lmao

the player just joined the game

[shadow haven]

true

[grand arrow]

btw show output

[shadow haven]

ok

[ancient pecan]

add debug logs too

Also you said it won’t work

What isn’t working

The saving of the money?

Use the pcall to capture the success and error

[shadow haven]

just when you rejoin you start at 0 again

and not at the amount of money with what you left

but I think I found it now because in output it says data saves

so I will upload it to roblox now

and will try it out

it works!

thanks guys for the help!

[ancient pecan]

So what did u change

[shadow haven]

I added 2 values money and cash

first it was only cash

and then some stuff that you have sended in that link to the forum

also added print data has been saved so I can check it pretty easy in output

now I will just add startermoney and maybe something else and then I go to sleep

as it's already 1.20 AM for me XD

[grand arrow]

we didnt even help bro wym

[ancient pecan]

i guess I sent a relevant forum post on data stores

[grand arrow]

eh ig

i need to sleep

its 2 am rn

    money.Changed:Connect(function()
        -- Use money.Value instead of the event argument (which is a string)
        pcall(function()
            moneyStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, money.Value)
        end)
    end)```
that's going to utterly ruin your datastore quota

main thing i see missing is lack of game:bindtoclose. thats why it not saving in studio
