How to make leaderstats in roblox studio | For beginners

1) Make a server script inside ServerScriptService | game.ServerScriptService
You can name the script however you want, it doesn’t matter.

2) We need to detect if the player joins
First of all, you need to detect if a player joins. We’ll do:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
end)

Great, now we have successfully detected if a player joins.

3) Lets make a folder inside the player.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") -- Makes a new folder
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" -- The name of the folder must be leaderstats oherwise it will not work
	leaderstats.Parent = player -- The parent of the new folder we made will be inside the player
end)

4) Make your currency.
We need now to make a currency now, lets make money for example.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") 
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" -- The name must be leaderstats or else it will not work
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local money = Instance.new("IntValue") -- Make a new int value (so it will be numbers only)
	money.Name = "Money" -- The name of the currency
	money.Value = 50 -- Amount that the player will get once he joins
	money.Parent = leaderstats -- Makes it inside the leaderstats
end)

Full source

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder") 
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
	money.Name = "Money"
	money.Value = 50
	money.Parent = leaderstats
end)

5) We are done!
We will now have the leaderstats we made!

Note:
The leaderstats will not be saved. I will may upload a tutorial for database in my next tutorials.

Now, lets make a button that gives us money!

1) Lets make a new ScreenGui inside StarterGui | game.StarterGui
image

2) Lets add a new button inside the ScreenGui we made
You can design it however you want
image

3) Lets make a new localscript inside the button

4) Finally, lets script it!

local leaderstats = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Currency = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("YourCurrency") -- Change the "YourCurrency" with the currency you made! In our case is Money
local button = script.Parent -- Our button

button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function() -- Detects if the player clicked the button
	Currency.Value = Currency.Value + 20 -- When the player will click the button, his money will go higher by 20.
end)

And we are done! Now you will have your amazing leaderstats.

LocalScripts cant change a server-side variable. You would have to use a remote event when the TextButton is clicked.

Adding to what @noblemaxx said you can also use a server script by getting the location of the UI and see if its clicked. Yes it would in theory work.
