local A = "Map1"
local B = "Map2"
local C = "Map3"
local D = "Map4"
local E = "Map5"
local Lighting = game.ServerStorage
local Choos = 0
local leaderboard = game.Workspace:findFirstChild("leaderboard")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:wait()

while true do
	Choos = math.random(1)
	wait(10)
	if Choos == 1 then
		Lighting:findFirstChild(A):clone().Parent = game.Workspace
		wait (5)
------------------------------------- Wave one below
		Lighting:findFirstChild("M1W1"):clone().Parent = game.Workspace
		for i, v in   pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do  v.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(-37.161, 43.18, 72.114))	
			end
		wait(25)
		if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("M1W1") then
		for i, v in   pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do  v.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(-40.361, 138.18, 62.914))	
			end
		game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(A):Destroy() 
		else
------------------------------------- Wave 2 below
        leaderboard.Points.Value + 10
		Lighting:findFirstChild("M1W2"):clone().Parent = game.Workspace
		for i, v in   pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do  v.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(-37.161, 43.18, 72.114))	
			end
		wait(15)
			if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("M1W2") then
			for i, v in   pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do  v.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(-40.361, 138.18, 62.914))	
				end
			game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(A):Destroy()
			else
------------------------------------- Wave 3 below
			Lighting:findFirstChild("M1W3"):clone().Parent = game.Workspace
			wait(15)
				if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("M1W3") then
				for i, v in   pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do  v.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(-40.361, 138.18, 62.914))	
					end
				game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(A):Destroy()
				else
				Lighting:findFirstChild("M1W4"):clone().Parent = game.Workspace
				wait(15)

Before we start (You don't have to do this) Lighting is not a good method to store things in anymore. ServerStorage was created for this specific reason and I recommend you switch over to it.

Solution

Were going to use the leaderstats value in the player to change there Coins/Points. When you create a "regular" leaderboard you create a intvalue in the player called leaderstats. Inside the intvalue you have your values for your leaderboard. But, we can't do anything until we find the player's name. You will need to figure a way to grab the player's name. So we will begin by creating a variable named player.

player = -- Find a way to track the player.

Then what we want to do is access the player's leaderstat value. To get this were going to use:

player = -- Find a way to track the player.

game.Players[player].leaderstats

Once we have found the directory of the leaderstats value we need to get the value of the Point/Coin stat itself, which is with-in the leaderstat value. We must also remember to put .Value at the end of the Point/Coin value.

player = -- Find a way to track the player.

game.Players[player].leaderstats.Coin.Value

Then what we will need to do is change the value of "Coin." To add to the value put a "=" then copy and paste the directory of the Coin value and put in how much you want it to add. Example: "+100" will add 100 to the value.

player = -- Find a way to track the player.

game.Players[player].leaderstats.Coin.Value = game.Players[player].leaderstats.Coin.Value +100

You can subtract the number by changing it to "-100" Keep in mind that if your Coin value is a StringValue it will not add/subtract, you will need to change it to a IntValue in the leaderboard script. If you want to change it to a specific number make it:

player = -- Find a way to track the player.

game.Players[player].leaderstats.Coin.Value = "100" -- Makes the value 100
