How do I use remote events or functions to get the value of the player's points in serverstorage?

I’m working on my first ever datastore system for a game, and the way I am trying to make my values for each player secure from exploiters is by storing it inside of serverstorage. When each player joins, they get a intvalue created with their UserId as the name.

I’m trying to make a basic version of what I’m trying to make, and here’s what I’ve got so far:

--Server Script
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text)

	local value = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild(player.UserId)
	
	text = (value.Value)
end)

-- Local Script
while true do
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(text)
	wait()
end

For some reason, text is not changing to the value specified for the player. Im getting no errors, and I’m not really sure what is the reason.

you probably wanted to do this

--Server Script
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text)

	local value = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild(player.UserId)
	
	value.Value = text
end)

I am not trying to set value to text, im trying to set text to value, but I believe I still made a mistake and i revised it:

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, text)
	
	local value = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild(player.UserId)
	
	text = value.Value
end)

Still no outputs and the textlabel is not outputting value.Value

Ok, I understood. So what you want is this

-- Server Script
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function (player)
	local playerText = Instance.new("StringValue")
	playerText.Parent = game.ServerStorage
	playerText.Value = "Hi"
	playerText.Name = player.UserId
	
	while true do
		--local value = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild(player.UserId)
		game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireClient(player, playerText.Value)
		wait(1)
	end
end)

-- Local Script
local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(textValue)
	text.Text = textValue
end)

text is the TextLabel
