Counter script not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a counter, each player has a permission system that inserts a value with their names inside a part when placed, the script should change the number value in the leaderboard every time a part is removed or added, but the script is located in a local script and when I tried switching to script it just didn’t work, can someone help me with that?

Note: the script its located at StarterPlayerScripts

local active = false
local baseParts = {}
local awaiting = 0


function fix(num)
    num = tostring(num)
    num = (num:reverse())
    local newNum = ""
    for i = 1,#num do
        newNum = (newNum .. num:sub(i,i))
    end
    newNum = newNum:reverse()
    if (newNum:sub(1,1) == ",") then
        newNum = newNum:sub(2)
    end
    return newNum
end

function count()
    if (active) then
        awaiting = (awaiting+1)
        return
    end
    active = true
    wait()
    baseParts = {}
    local function scan(parent)
        for _,v in pairs(parent:GetChildren()) do
            if v:IsA("BasePart") and v:FindFirstChild("PartOwner") and v.PartOwner.Value == script.Parent.Parent.Name  then
                table.insert(baseParts,v)
            end
            scan(v)
        end
    end
    scan(game.Workspace)
    local n = #baseParts
    script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Counter.Value = (fix(n))
    for i = 1,awaiting do
        count()
    end
    awaiting = 0
    active = false
end

function setup()
    count()
    game.Workspace.DescendantAdded:connect(count)
    game.Workspace.DescendantRemoving:connect(count)
end

setup()

You can only use Local Scripts in StarterPlayerScripts

Changed it to ServerScriptService, but i’m still having issues trying to get the player because i need an player that is the same value of the StringValue inside the part.

You can get players by using

game:GetService("Player").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
end)

or by using Remote Events:
