Also how do you count the accesories on a player? or just a number of a specific type of object in a parent. This is my script so far local NumberOfaccesories = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character

Hello, you can just make a simple leaderboard script, then, in another script, use DataStoreService to save the data when the player joins and leaves. from there you can setup a system to add/remove points from the player. Thanks -DragonSpawner12.

Try checking for the number of accessories this way:

view source
1local numOfAccessories = 0
2 
3for _, v in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:GetChildren()) do
4    if v:IsA("Accessory") then
5        numOfAccessories = numOfAccessories + 1
6    end
7end
8 
9print(numOfAccessories)

I think this tutorial will help you in creating your leaderboard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXpuGnVzsxw
