Why does my leaderstats dont show up on tab list?
so me and my friend tried making a sword fighting game, and i decided to make a leaderstats for KOs and Wipeouts. I'm really new to coding but i've done leaderstats before and they worked pretty much fine. this script however doesnt, and it didnt give me any errors. so i dont know what to do
script. game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local stats = Instance.new("Folder")
stats.Name = "leaderstats"
stats.Parent = plr
local kos = Instance.new("Folder")
kos.Name = "KOs"
kos.Parent = plr
local wo = Instance.new("Folder")
wo.Name = "Wipeouts"
wo.Parent = plr
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local humanoid
repeat
humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
wait()
until humanoid
humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
wo.Value = wo.Value + 1
local tag = humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator")
if tag then
local killer = tag.Value
if killer then
killer.leaderstats.kos.Value = killer.leaderstats.kos.Value + 1
end
end
end)
end)
end)

Do not think that just because you post a question, then paste your code, doesn't mean we already know the context. Context is important and it will benefit you. Dovydas1118 1495 — 4y

The problem is your leaderstats needs to have IntValues not Folders, you can't make a folder a value :
23 wo.Value = wo.Value + 1 -- attempts to set a folder value
do this for leaderstats:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local stats = Instance.new("Folder") -- Folder for leaderstats
stats.Name = "leaderstats"
stats.Parent = plr
local kos = Instance.new("Intvalue") -- NUMBER VALUE 1
kos.Name = "KOs"
kos.Parent = stats
local wo = Instance.new("IntValue") -- NUMBER VALUE 2
wo.Name = "Wipeouts"
wo.Parent = stats
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local humanoid
repeat
humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
wait()
until humanoid
humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
wo.Value = wo.Value + 1
local tag = humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator")
if tag then
local killer = tag.Value
if killer then
killer.leaderstats.kos.Value = killer.leaderstats.kos.Value + 1
end
end
end)
end)
end)

You've added not 1 folder, but 3 folders. For leaderstats, I recommend putting only one folder, and 2 Values (whatever they are, Bool, Number, Int, etc.) Folder does not have a property named 'Value'. Change kos and wo to intvalues.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local stats = Instance.new("Folder")
stats.Parent = plr
stats.Name = "leaderstats"
local kos = Instance.new("IntValue")
kos.Parent = stats
kos.Name = "KOs"
local wo = Instance.new("IntValue")
wo.Parent = stats
wo.Name = "Wipeouts"
end)

Parent should always be last, that's a good tip for you. VAHMPIN 277 — 4y

It doesn't really matter. I've heard people say do Parent after Instance, or do Parent after Name. It doesn't matter. @VAHMPIN . Dovydas1118 1495 — 4y

@VAHMPIN It doesn't matter really. It's not deprecated (unlike Instance.new() 2nd parameter) also, there are no problems with parenting it first. Dovydas1118 1495 — 4y

True but setting properties before parenting is always best as it could detect it with wrong properties. VAHMPIN 277 — 4y

@VAHMPIN what do you mean by 'detect it with wrong properties'? Dovydas1118 1495 — 4y

@gego120 What do you mean? It's supposed to show up on the leaderboard. Have you disabled the leaderboard or something? Dovydas1118 1495 — 4y
