Value-Based Leaderboard Editor not working

[ParkCityUSA (CityofPark)]

Hello all! Sorry for the weird posting time(it’s 12:35 as I’m writing this), but I have a specific problem with a lot of moving parts. I attempted to make a script that, as the player killed NPCs, tracked the value of an IntValue. As said IntValue get higher, it edits the value of a StringValue in the leaderstats folder. I know this is a really weird system but I’d like to see a fix.

Here’s the system that triggers the increase in the IntValue.

local char = script.Parent
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
hum.Died:Connect(function()
	local tag = hum:FindFirstChild("creator")
	if tag then
		local ePlayer = tag.Value
		ePlayer.gloryCountFolder.glory.Value +=1
	end
end)

Here’s the script that check for the IntValue. I get a strange error upon testing my game: “ServerScriptService.gloryMod:6: attempt to index string with ‘Parent’ - Server - gloryMod:6”. When I kill an NPC with the previous script in it, I get this one: " gloryCountFolder is not a valid member of Player “Players.ParkCityUSA” - Server - Script:7".

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function makeValueFolder(player)
	local gloryCount = Instance.new("Folder")
	gloryCount = "gloryCountFolder"
	gloryCount.Parent = player
	
	local intvalGlory = Instance.new("IntValue")
	intvalGlory.Name = "glory"
	intvalGlory.Parent = gloryCount
	intvalGlory.Value = 0
	
	if intvalGlory.Value >=1 then
		local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
		leaderstats:WaitForChild("Glory").Value = "Loser"
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(makeValueFolder)

And lastly, here’s the leaderboard. I don’t think there are any problems with the code.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function leaderboardSetup(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local hacksilver = Instance.new("IntValue")
	hacksilver.Name = "Hack-Silver"
	hacksilver.Value = 0
	hacksilver.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local glory = Instance.new("StringValue")
	glory.Name = "Glory"
	glory.Value = "N/A"
	glory.Parent = leaderstats
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(leaderboardSetup)

I’d be really thankful if any of you could give me an idea on what’s going on, or even suggest a different system for this task. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to read this!

Thanks

Line 7 of the makeValueFolder function, you wrote

gloryCount = "gloryCountFolder"

When it should be

gloryCount.Name = "gloryCountFolder"

Am I that dumb ? Thank you for solving that!
