How to create leaderstats?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,

So I feel a bit stupid on asking this but how can I create a leaderstat? I have done it before but for some reason it will not work when I am trying to do it. Once I tried doing it myself I turned to look at the article that roblox made and copied the exact code but it still will not work.

I am just confused now how to do it due to what I thought was right was exactly the same idea which Roblox put in there artical.

In-Game Leaderboards (roblox.com)

Here is a simple script for it:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")

leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

leaderstats.Parent = plr

local Value = Instance.new("NumberValue")

Value.Name = "StatNameHere"

Value.Parent = leaderstats

end)

That is how I would do it yes but when I do that it does not create one?

This is why I am sooo confused cuz it should be as simple as that but will not add it…

All and all, it’s really very simple. This script creates leaderstats for me:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	
	local Leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	Leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	Leaderstats.Parent = Player
	
	local Cash = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	Cash.Name = "Cash"
	Cash.Parent = Leaderstats
end)

You see when I do something exactly like that it does not work.

Please send your script as a reply to this and I’ll check out the issue.

Here is my code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local Leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	Leaderstats.Parent = plr
	Leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local TixValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	Leaderstats.Parent = Leaderstats
	TixValue.Name = "Tix"
	TixValue.Value = 0
end)

(this is in a script)

I am confused cuz it is like ur script and @AC_Starmarine one so dunno why it will not work.

You try to set the leaderstats parent to itself. Make sure this line says
TixValue.Parent = Leaderstats

#9

Even when I change it there is no leaderstats created.

I made that mistake cuz I made the code quick to show u what I was doing.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local Leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	Leaderstats.Parent = plr
	Leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local TixValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	TixValue.Parent = Leaderstats
	TixValue.Name = "Tix"
	TixValue.Value = 0
end)

It works for me, so the likelihood is that you have another script somewhere already creating leaderstats, cancelling this one out and not making you able to see either.

I have fixed the issue now. Thanks for trying to help.

(the issue was that I was trying to create a leader stats inside a script which was in a tool and for some reason it was not allowing me to)
