This leaderboard and text when you die script works in sutdio test but not when I play it normally?
When I use this in studio, it works. When I play the game normally, the leaderboard is not there and it does nothing when I die. Please tell me what I did wrong, thank you.

Is it in a normal script or a local script? IDidMakeThat 1135 — 8y

As you are using "LocalPlayer" I assume that this is a local script. You are trying to mix server events with local ones. You need to 1st use a server sctipt for adding the leaderstats nad re-think how the gui side will work. User#5423 17 — 8y

Alright, so you've made it clear you're not using a localscript, so here's your problem.
The term (when accessing the "Players" service) "LocalPlayer" refers to the client's player. This can only be used when using a localscript, server scripts do not have a "LocalPlayer". Here's how the script should go.
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player) --This listens for when a player is added and defines the `argument ` "Player" as the aforementioned player who joined. |
02 | local stats = Instance.new("IntValue") |
03 | stats.Parent = Player |
04 | stats.Name = "leaderstats" |
05 |
06 | local Points = Instance.new("IntValue") |
07 | Points.Parent = stats |
08 | Points.Name = "Pointz" |
09 |
10 | deaths = Instance.new("IntValue") |
11 | deaths.Parent = stats |
12 | deaths.Name = "Deaths" |
13 |
14 | Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function() |
15 | Player.Character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function() |

I'm not the best at explaining, but this should fix your issue :)

No problem! You have no idea how long it took me to figure out localplayer didn't work with server scripts when I first began. systack 123 — 8y

Yeah, because all of the tutorial books use them in normal scripts :/ wierdgamer100 130 — 8y
