Why is this leaderboard not being made?

Asked by

So, I'm trying to create a leaderboard through instantiation, but it doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone know what I'm doing incorrectly here? This is a local script being kept in StarterPlayerScripts. Here's my code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Model")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player

    local leaflets = Instance.new("IntValue")
    leaflets.Name = "Leaflets"
    leaflets.Value = 0
    leaflets.Parent = leaderstats
end)

Thanks in advance.

~SOLUTION ~


player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

function OnPlayerAdded(plr)
    print("This is just a test")
      local leaderstats = Instance.new("Model")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player

    local leaflets = Instance.new("IntValue")
    leaflets.Name = "Leaflets"
    leaflets.Value = 0
    leaflets.Parent = leaderstats
end


for _,v in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
    OnPlayerAdded(v)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(OnPlayerAdded)

~SOLUTION ~

So... How I fixed it... Technically when you are using a LocalScript, and you try to use PlayerAdded Event, the Character has still not loaded when you start the simulation or when they enter the game, that's why you have to get the service, and then later on call it with a in pairs loop.

Leaderboard works like a charm ;)!

leaderstats has to also be an int value.

    local leaderstats = Instance.new("IntValue")

The wiki says that the leaderstats value should be either a model or a folder, and a value object may not work. After some testing, this solution doesn't seem to work, either. Klamman 220 — 8y

Hmm. Maybe it's because it's in there. Or maybe because it's a LocalScript.

I tried pasting it in the workspace, and it's a Normal Script. it works. Then I tried with a local, it doesn't work.

Use a normal script.
