The Roblox engine normally detects if a folder named “leaderstats” is on a Player object, if one exists, it goes through all BaseValues inside the folder that can be turned into a string containing the value and displays it on the player list.

#33

local Players = game:GetService(“Players”) —Gets players

local function onPlayerAdded(player) — When they join
local leaderstats = Instance.new(“Folder”) — Making leaderstats
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats”
leaderstats.Parent = player — Whenever you get more of a currency it gives you that.

local points = Instance.new("IntValue") — Makes your currency show up
points.Name = "Points" — What you see in the top right bar
points.Value = 0 — How much you start with 
points.Parent = leader stats — Makes everything go to the top bar

end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

#34

Because you name the folder “leaderstats” with the line

leaderboard.Name = "leaderstats"

It is a object inside the game which can have a type and a name.
It will stay a folder but will be called leaderstats.

#35

No you cannot, you must set the name into “leaderstats”

local abc = Instance.new("Folder")
	abc.Name = "leaderstats"
    abc.Parent = player
#36

leaderstats is basically just the name of the top right bar I believe. And doing the code will add things yyou want to it like points.

#37

Why?it just give name ,why it must be like that?

#38

The Roblox engine only accepts “leaderstats”, make a feature request if you don’t want the name to be forced

#39

Oh so that is why the system know we are coding about leaderboard right?

#40

The system knows that we are “coding” about the leaderboard as long a folder named “leaderstats” is inside a “Player” object

When a player joins the system checks if the player has a leaderstats folder inside the player.
And if they do it adds them to the leaderboard.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")-- The player service
 
local function onPlayerAdded(player)--Using the player the function got from the player added event.
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")--Makes a folder 
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"--Names it leaderstats so the system knows you want to make a leaderstat
    leaderstats.Parent = player--Put it inside the player so the system can check if the player will be added to the leaderboard
 
	local points = Instance.new("IntValue")--The value which holds integers
	points.Name = "Points"--Name it whatever you want.
	points.Value = 0--Change how many points the player will have at the start
	points.Parent = leaderstats--Put it inside the leaderstat folder so the system can take it and add the points value next to their name
end
	
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)--Line executes every time a player joins and does the onPlayerAdded function above. It also gives it the player that just joined.
