Is there any way to make this script better? Or possible with LocalScript

Im using the “ProfileService” as my Database. Im trying to update a textLabel to the Currencies Value but im not sure if this script is good.

The scripts parent is the TextLabel

local PlayerDataHandler = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("PlayerDataHandler"))
local rs = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent

rs.Stepped:Connect(function()
	PlayerDataHandler:Update(player, "Coins", function(CurrentCoins)
		script.Parent.Text = CurrentCoins

		return(CurrentCoins)
	end)
end)

dont mind the six parent.Parent line, thats only way I thought of getting the player from a server script.

It works fine (for now) and if theres a better method of doing this or getting the player then please let me know :D, Thanks!

You could put a folder, doesn’t have to be leaderstats, under the player and put a NumberValue for the coins there, and update it when the server needs to, then just get a localScript and put a .Changed listener on the NumberValue.
