You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. I want to create 4 different IntValues to store some data in the player.

  2. The issue is that instead of creating 4 values, it only creates one.

  3. I tried to use the clone function, but it doesn’t work either.

local Folder = Instance.new("Folder")
	Folder.Name = "GiftData"
	Folder.Parent = plr
	
	local TotalGiftedInputs = Instance.new("IntValue")
	TotalGiftedInputs.Name = "Total Inputs Sent"
	TotalGiftedInputs.Parent = Folder
	
	local TotalRecievedInputs = Instance.new("IntValue")
	TotalGiftedInputs.Name = "Total Inputs Recieved"
	TotalGiftedInputs.Parent = Folder
	
	local TotalGiftsSent = Instance.new("IntValue")
	TotalGiftedInputs.Name = "Total Gifts Sent"
	TotalGiftedInputs.Parent = Folder
	
	local TotalGiftsRecieved = Instance.new("IntValue")
	TotalGiftedInputs.Name = "Total Gifts Recieved"
	TotalGiftedInputs.Parent = Folder

Only TotalGiftsRecieved gets created.

Maybe try this? For me, it works fine.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local Folder = Instance.new("Folder",plr)
	Folder.Name = "GiftData"

	local TotalGiftedInputs = Instance.new("IntValue",Folder)
	TotalGiftedInputs.Name = "Total Inputs Sent"

	local TotalRecievedInputs = Instance.new("IntValue",Folder)
	TotalRecievedInputs.Name = "Total Inputs Recieved"

	local TotalGiftsSent = Instance.new("IntValue",Folder)
	TotalGiftsSent.Name = "Total Gifts Sent"

	local TotalGiftsRecieved = Instance.new("IntValue",Folder)
	TotalGiftsRecieved.Name = "Total Gifts Recieved"
end)

The problem isn’t with Instance.new. You’re only setting TotalGiftedInputs's properties.

#4

How come? I’m creating different variables, as well as telling the game to create different instances. Sorry if I’m being a bit annoying, I just want to learn from my mistake.

Underneath each newly created Instance, you’re only doing:

TotalGiftedInputs.Name = NAME
TotalGiftedInputs.Parent = Folder

You’re not changing the new Instance’s properties, just the first one

local TotalGiftedInputs = Instance.new("IntValue")
TotalGiftedInputs.Name = "Total Inputs Sent"
TotalGiftedInputs.Parent = Folder

This work, but

local TotalRecievedInputs = Instance.new("IntValue")
TotalGiftedInputs.Name = "Total Inputs Recieved"
TotalGiftedInputs.Parent = Folder

You’re not changing TotalRecievedInputs
