Hi devs, does anyone know how to place a Folder in the Character of all players in the game?

I’m currently attempting to create a folder with values in it for all players, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

Serverscript

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function createFolderInCharacter(player)
	local character = player.Character
	if character then
		local valuesFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
		valuesFolder.Name = "Values"
		valuesFolder.Parent = character
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(createFolderInCharacter)

for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
	createFolderInCharacter(player)
end

and here is a script that work on local but doesn’t work on server.

local ValuesFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
local TeamValue = Instance.new("StringValue")
local Coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
local Rubis = Instance.new("IntValue")
local Wins = Instance.new("IntValue")

ValuesFolder.Name = "Values"
TeamValue.Name = "Team"
Coins.Name = "Coins"
Rubis.Name = "Rubis"
Wins.Name = "Wins"

ValuesFolder.Parent = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character
TeamValue.Parent = ValuesFolder
Coins.Parent = ValuesFolder
Rubis.Parent = ValuesFolder
Wins.Parent = ValuesFolder

It doesn’t work on the server because of this line here

ValuesFolder.Parent = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character

LocalPlayer is only accessible from the client…

Try putting it into the CharacterAdded event.

i.e.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function createFolderInCharacter(character)
    local ValuesFolder = Instance.new("Folder")

    local TeamValue = Instance.new("StringValue")
    local Coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
    local Rubis = Instance.new("IntValue")
    local Wins = Instance.new("IntValue")

    ValuesFolder.Name = "Values"
    TeamValue.Name = "Team"
    Coins.Name = "Coins"
    Rubis.Name = "Rubis"
    Wins.Name = "Wins"

    ValuesFolder.Parent = character
    TeamValue.Parent = ValuesFolder
    Coins.Parent = ValuesFolder
    Rubis.Parent = ValuesFolder
    Wins.Parent = ValuesFolder
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(createFolderInCharacter)
end

for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(createFolderInCharacter)
end

(I merged the 2 scripts)

There’s no need for the for-loop at the bottom

I noticed that earlier, however it is something I have had to add to my own scripts before. It’s mainly just for testing in studio, when the player object is added faster than the script reaches the connection.
