Gui Script

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.Text = player.leaderstats.Coins.Value -- added this line to initialise the gui.

player.leaderstats.Coins.Changed:connect(function()
    script.Parent.Text = player.leaderstats.Coins.Value
end) -- Wrapping your function like this ensure it only changes when the value changes, this is better than a while loop and is called an anonymous function.

I've defined player as a local value to match the games local player, this has to be in a localscript to work, localscripts should work fine inside of the players character, the current camera, the players backpack or the players gui.

I changed the script, as you had the Coins with a lowercase c and value with a lowercase V. I believe they should of been capatalized. Correct me if im wrong NinjoOnline 1146 — 10y

In your GUI Script, on line 3, you aren't pointing to a player which is why it's not working. Make sure the GUI script is in a LocalScript and change line 3 to look like this: script.Parent.Text = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Coins.Value. I hope this helps!

It just makes my character not even load now. When I click pla it just says Waiting for character for 5 minutes NinjoOnline 1146 — 10y

The LocalScript should be a child of the TextBox. war8989 35 — 10y

Yes, you should either reconnect to your router/modem, restart your computer, or restart your router/modem and try it again. war8989 35 — 10y

Nope nothing. I have restarted comp and router. It has to be the local script, cause when I removed it it worked. Is their a way to do it without localscript??? NinjoOnline 1146 — 10y

Make sure that you're testing this script online, as most leaderboard scripts don't work in solo mode. Also, don't forget to add a wait() just before the end in your while loop, if you don't it will cause your computer to run out of memory. Anyways, if it still doesn't work, is there anything in the output ?
