Hello,
I would like to display a billboard gui above the heads of all players with “the number of stars received” via the leaderstats of my game.
I added this script in ServerScriptService:
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local BillboardGui = game.ServerStorage.BillboardGui
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local Stars = Player.leaderstats['Stars']
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
local BillboardClone = BillboardGui:Clone()
BillboardClone.Parent = Character:WaitForChild("Head")
BillboardClone.TextLabel.Text = Stars.Value
Stars:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Value'):Connect(function()
BillboardClone.TextLabel.Text = Stars.Value
end)
end)
end)
But I have this error that comes out: “leaderstats is not a valid member of Player “Players.Aikious” - Server - Script:5”
I am a newbie, if anyone can help me please

I’m not sure this is what’s causing this error, but why did you make a different script for this, even though below you have another script that runs the same Players.PlayerAdded event?
Have you thought that this script is running before the other script is?
I don’t know, this script was created by a pro scripter, and I just wanted to display the leaderstats of the stars above the heads of the players, but if you think that I can add this function in the same script tell me how ?
Oh I found it! just had to modify this line BillboardClone.Parent = Character:WaitForChild("Head") for BillboardClone.Parent = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(Plr.Name).Head
