local textLabel = script.Parent
textLabel.Text = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Points.Value
for context I have a leaderstats script that creates a folder named leaderstats in any player in the game with the points value inside it and what I am trying to do is have the number of points displayed of a gui, is there a simple fix, or is there a better way to about this?
Your problem (most likely) is the fact that you are using a server script, and the problem in that is, you can't get the player through that.
Make it a local script and then use WaitForChild on leaderstats. eg :
local textLabel = script.Parent
textLabel.Text = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('leaderstats').Points.Value
it will not update, it just stays at whatever it was first when it loaded in
I think you have to put it in a while true loop to update the text every time.
local textLabel = script.Parent
while true do
textLabel.Text = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild('leaderstats').Points.Value [[-- It is good to add a WaitForChild so it only loads in when the leaderstats is found --]]
wait(1) -- Waits one second before reloading
end

No, please don't use a while loop for this, use GetPropertyChangedSignal.

You can't get the local player in a server script
Try putting a wait script between the first line and the third line.
put this is a while true loop. it will update
