Leaderstats isn't working!

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am making a Tycoon game. So I need a leaderstat for cash.

I made this script:

local players = game:GetService("Players")

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	if player then
		local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
		leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
		leaderstats.Parent = player

		local Cash = Instance.new("NumberValue")
		Cash.Name = "Cash"
		Cash.Parent = player
		Cash.Value = 0
	end
end)

But right now, this script isn’t adding a new folder at all into my player. Also, a leaderboard isn’t popping up. In the output, there isn’t any wrong. And also in the script does it seem right.

Please help me out!

You made a mistake in your script.

Cash.Parent = player

The parent must be the leaderstats folder, not the player.

#3

I changed it, but didnt turn out how i want. Still no leaderstats showing up

#4

Didn’t turn out how you want? What do you mean?

Check if your playerlist is enabled. Because I replaced the parent of the Cash, tested it, and it is working as intended.

#5

It’s not making an folder at all

#6

This is a server script right?

#7

Yes. ServerScriptService and a normal script. Not a Local.

#8

Try removing the if statement at the start.

Still, nothing is showing up.

#10

Maybe because the script is disabled?

#11

Also, no the script is active!

Try this, I tested it out and it works.
You can set the instance parent as the second argument to Instance.new

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
	Cash.Name = "Cash"
	Cash.Value = 0
end)

Its not working. I don’t know why!

#14

It does, you have to place it into an empty server script inside server script service

#15

It should be IntValue instead of NumberValue

#16

NumberValues do work, this script was working for me
Script:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local ls = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
	ls.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local Cash = Instance.new("NumberValue", ls)
	Cash.Name = "Cash"
end)

Make sure it is in a script In ServerScriptService

You probably have a 3rd party script interferring or you leaderboards are disabled.

Here you go.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player);
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats";

	local Cash = Instance.new("NumberValue",leaderstats);
	Cash.Name = "Cash";
	Cash.Value = 0;
end);

This works.
Should be a SERVERSCRIPT in SERVERSCRIPTSERVICE.

Oh there are other suggestions to similar scripts, didnt seen them whoops.

If nothing works, try running this script:

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
StarterGui:SetCoreEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.PlayerList, true)
