So I have a levelling system, but when the player dies, he goes back to level 1, losing all of his progress. I've tried using datastore to stop this, but it was too confusing. Is there another way to do it?

So, like this? plr.Character["Humanoid"].Died:connect(function(plr) plr:WaitForDataReady() print("Getting data..") plr:SaveNumber('level2', level.Value) repeat wait() until plr.Character ~= nil plr.PlayerGui.level.Value = plr:LoadNumber("level2") end)

yea, depending on how you are using it, yes. That would work fine.

So I use it in a serverside script in workspace like this: for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do plr.Character["Humanoid"].Died:connect(function(plr) plr:WaitForDataReady() print("Getting data..") plr:SaveNumber('level2', level.Value) repeat wait() until plr.Character ~= nil print("Data loaded!") plr.PlayerGui.level.Value = plr:LoadNumber("level2") end) end would this work?
