Yup, it is not, i have some script for showing the mony that you got (In the screen, not the leaderboard) first it were good but later it said "leaderstats is not a valid member of Player"

Here's the script..

1local Coins = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.Coins
2Coins.Changed:Connect(function()
3    script.Parent.Text = "$: "..Coins.Value
4end)

can somene help?

Where is this script located? Where is the script that creates the leaderstats? DeUltimate23 142 — 4y

In a TextLabel in ScreenGui in StarterGui El_Tycoonero0Delgado 18 — 4y

^ Make sure the script that makes the leaderstats is a ServerScript and make sure that you insert it into ServerScriptService. zane21225 243 — 4y

You should use a local script in your TextLabel in your Screen Gui Instead of a regular script and trying to find the player from the PlayerGui.

The code in the local script should go something like this:

1local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
2local Coins = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Coins")
3local CoinsText = script.Parent
4 
5Coins:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
6    CoinsText.Text = "$: "..Coins.Value
7end)

Firstly, using the whole "script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent" method gets the player's Character, not the Player itself.

Secondly, you are edit anything related to GUI's via a ServerScript. Try using a LocalScript instead.

Thirdy, :Changed() is not an Instance to my knowledge. You'd have to use :GetPropertyChangedSignal instance instead.

Anyways, here's your fixed code (make sure to put it into a LocalScript)

1local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
2local coins = player:WaitForChild('leaderstats').Coins
3 
4coins:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Value'):Connect(function()
5script.Parent.Text = '$ ' ..coins.Value.. '.'

Please let me know if it works or not after you apply my code to your game.

Changed is an event. SirGamezy 186 — 4y

I said that it actually worked fine, but, when you grab the Coins with value of 5 the leaerboard doesnt work, but if you grab the Coin of 1e18+ it does work but weird El_Tycoonero0Delgado 18 — 4y

Try this with a server script:

Assuming you have a ScreenGui named MoneyDisplay with a TextLabel, insert the following into ServerScriptService:

1game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
2    -- Assuming you have the leaderstats set up
3    local Coins = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Coins
4    Coins.Changed:Connect(function()
5        player.PlayerGui.MoneyDisplay.TextLabel.Text = "$"..(Coins.Value)
6    end)
7end)

Try:

`1`	`Player:WaitForChild("Leaderstats")`

local Coins = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("Leaderstats") -- Am i right? El_Tycoonero0Delgado 18 — 4y

yeah as it wont show in studio but will wait for it in game, but game.Players.LocalPlayer wont work in a normal script only local gringlestick2 -178 — 4y
