How come custom leader board won't work?

Asked by

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    local playerLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
    playerLabel.Text = player.Name
    playerLabel.Text.FontSize = "Size14"
    playerLabel.Text.Font = "Legacy"
    playerLabel.Parent = script.Parent
end)

I'm not worry about position yet, because I'm pretty sure I already know how to do that, but for some reason when a player joins it won't add a slot for their name?

Don't use a Player Added event.

In the comments you said that you were using a Local Script. You should be, but when using a Local Script the Player Added event is completely unnecessary unless you're trying to detect new players joining. The event will not fire when the local player joins however, and this is probably your problem.

--Local Script
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playerLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
playerLabel.Text = player.Name
playerLabel.Text.FontSize = "Size14"
playerLabel.Text.Font = "Legacy"
playerLabel.Parent = script.Parent

Let me know if that works for you.

Good Luck!

If it did work for you, please don't forget to accept this answer.

put the following code in a script in the serverscriptservice:

function playeradded(player)

local leaderstats = Instance.new("Model")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player

local wins = Instance.new("IntValue")
wins.Name = "Wins"
wins.Parent = leaderstats

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(playeradded)

*PS - if you want to add more columns to the leaderboard just copy the second block of code and change wins to whatever you want
