Why is there no leader board appearing in studio and in server?[EDIT]

So, I'm currently learning about Leader boards. I've read so far the whole wiki page, but now that I did what their script says, nothing appears. Here's the script:

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

    local coin = Instance.new("IntValue")
    coin.Value = 0
    coin.Name = "Coins Collected"
    coin.Parent = leaderstats
end)

Any ideas as to why nothing is appearing? All help is appreciated!

[EDIT PART]

So I've noticed that ROBLOX's script work's fine:

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

     local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
     money.Name = "Money" 
     money.Value = 0 
     money.Parent = leaderstats
 end)

What's the difference between my script, and theirs?

Ahh ok, the reason why is because when naming the 'leaderstats' variable, it HAS to have the name of 'leaderstats'. FiredDusk 1466 — 7y

First off, make sure the script is not disabled. Also, I would make sure you parent the 'Model' and 'CoinValue' to where it needs to be before you name it and change the values of it.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Model")
    leaderstats.Parent = player --I parented here
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" --Here, you HAVE to name it leaderstats, not too sure why but you HAVE too ;PP

    local coin = Instance.new("IntValue")
    coin.Parent = leaderstats --I parented here
    coin.Value = 0
    coin.Name = "Coins Collected"
end)

Hope this helped.

I tried parenting it first, but that didn't work. Peeshavee 226 — 7y

I edited my script, this should work. I made a new comment on line 4. FiredDusk 1466 — 7y
