I want to do a save data thing like when the player leaves he will save his points he had and when he re-enters he will simply have his points back

You can store players’ points in a global variable when they leave and set their points to the stored value when they join back. Here’s an example that uses 4 global variables:
savedData is a JSON array that stores data items in a [playerName, points] format (for example, if the value of savedData is [["player1","+5"],["player2","+10"]], that means player1 has 5 points saved and player2 has 10). The players’ score is concatenated with “+” when saving to turn them into strings, since the JSON array functions only support strings and not numbers. The values are turned back into numbers when loading the data.
This system is relatively easy to make, however the data will be cleared when the game shuts down or is republished since global variables are stored on game servers. If you want a more robust system you can set up your own external database and use POST requests to save data (here’s a tutorial 【Modd.io Tutorial #40】TIER 1 DATA SAVE SYSTEM | Make with me step by step - YouTube)

Ok, do you have scripts that change players’ names (e.g. scripts that add name tags)?

Ok, you should keep track of the player’s original name from before adding nametags were added, so you can use the original name for identifying the player’s saved data instead of using the player name function.
