The error in the bottom corner is my issue, It’s not a valid member of the folder but it clearly is there under my player, The script below is the folder, I am trying to get both stats on this UI. I have no idea on how to fix this after searching up solutions, any Ideas?

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
--spills
local ds = DataStore:GetDataStore("PlayTime")
local dsb = DataStore:GetDataStore("SpillCollection")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
 	local leader = Instance.new("Folder",player)
	leader.Name = "Stats"
	

	--spills
 	local Time = Instance.new("IntValue",leader)
	Time.Name = "TimePlayed"
	Time.Value = ds:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
	ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, Time.Value)
	local canSave = true
	Time.Changed:connect(function()
		if canSave == true then
			canSave = false
			wait(5)
			ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, Time.Value)
			canSave = true
		end
		local WorkerPointt = Time.Value
	end)
	
	--spills
	local Spill = Instance.new("IntValue",leader)
	Spill.Name = "SpillsCleaned"
	Spill.Value = dsb:GetAsync(player.UserId) or 0
	dsb:SetAsync(player.UserId, Spill.Value)
	local canSave = true
	Spill.Changed:connect(function()
		if canSave == true then
			canSave = false
			wait(5)
			dsb:SetAsync(player.UserId, Spill.Value)
			canSave = true
		end
		local WorkerPointtt = Spill.Value
	end)
	
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
	
	--spills
	ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.Stats.TimePlayed.Value)
	dsb:SetAsync(player.UserId, player.Stats.SpillsCleaned.Value)
end)

This code works with leaderstats, as it is fine in my main game.

There doesn’t seem to be any issue in this script, as it’s erroring on line 2 but line 2 in this script is a comment, can we see the LocalScript that is erroring?

#3 
while true do
	script.Parent.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Stats.SpillsCleaned.Value
	wait(1)
end

This is inside the Textlabel although works perfectly fine for the Times Played Label.

#4

Probably the SpillsCleaned value hasn’t existed by the time the scirpt was ran, change it to this?

local stats = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Stats")
local spills = stats:WaitForChild("SpillsCleaned")

while true do
	script.Parent.Text = spills.Value
	wait(1)
end

Also you really should use the .Changed event to update the Text to the new value of the IntValue since using a while true do is not really efficient
