Leaderstats String Value Help

[Katrist]

Your leaderstats script works for me. One thing though, you shouldn’t use the second parameter of Instance.new but instead assign the parent after.

PSA: Don't use Instance.new() with parent argument

I’ve discovered a pretty bad performance issue in one of top games that has to do with Instance.new and wanted to write about this, since this is not obvious unless you know the system inside out. Tthere are several ways to create a ROBLOX object in Lua: local obj = Instance.new(‘type’); fill obj fields local obj = Instance.new(‘type’, parent); fill obj fields local obj = util.Create(‘type’, { field1 = value1, … }) If you care at all about performance, please only use the first option - I wi…

	local Yen = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	Yen.Name = "Yen"
	Yen.Value = 0
    Yen.Parent = player
	
	local Rank = Instance.new("StringValue")
	Rank.Name = "Rank"
	Rank.Value = "Mizunoto"
    Rank.Parent = leaderstats
end)
