Try using the built in leaderboard that roblox provides in every game

With some coding that’s possible with the regular leaderboard I recommend you looking on youtube for additional help

You didn’t provide much information in this post so I’m not too sure what you’re trying to accomplish. All you really need to do is put this script into a text label.

Also, why would you want to be listing every players points onto a billboard? I don’t see why this is necessary. Players could literally just look at the leaderboard and see the players leaderstats. If that’s what you’re trying to do you could create scripts to make it so when the player is joining or leaving the game it adds and removes a frame with the players leaderstats from the billboard gui (I’m guessing by billboard gui you mean a surface gui)

If you make a screen gui with a text label you could put this script into the text label:

while wait(1) do

    script.Parent.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Points.Value

end

This is the most confusing dev forum post I have seen in a long time and I’m guessing that you are under 13 and aren’t even allowed to be on here.

Could you send a screenshot of the script that you used to get the points setup?

Is it a text label?
If it is, you must have a leaderstats, and put this script:

game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats:GetPropretyChangedSignal("YOURVALUE"):Connect(function()
   script.Parent.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.YOURVALUE.Value
end)

this is more effective

local playerPoints = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Points
playerPoints.Changed:Connect(function()
   script.Parent.Text = playerPoints.Value
end)

Insert a screen gui into starter gui and insert a text label into the screen gui then insert the local script I sent in my first reply.

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
 
StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.PlayerList, false)

For hiding the leaderboard, in the case you wanted a TextLabel.

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local points = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Points")

local label = script.Parent

points.Changed:Connect(function(pointsAmount)
	label.Text = pointsAmount
end)

You should wait for instances to replicate to the client before attempting to index them. Additionally, don’t forget about the parameter of the .Changed event, for ValueBase instances it represents the new value of its “Value” property.
