Help Finding leaderstats???
I have the following:
StarterGui ScreenGui Frame TextBox Script
I want to find the Player's leaderstats (Or leaderboard, as some of you call it), would it look like this? If not, how would it look like?
-- PATH FROM TEXTBOX player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.leaderstats -- Then comes the currencies
I want to find the player that this Gui is in, Not any other player...

First of all, this would be much easier to do in a LocalScript, then you can get your Player easier:
--LocalScript player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
In ROBLOX, you have to make your own Leaderstats.
--ServerScript, put in ServerScriptService
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
Instance.new("IntValue",plr).Name = "leaderstats"
Instance.new("NumberValue",plr.leaderstats).Name = "Currency"
end)
Once the leaderboard is setup, you can wait for it to load in your LocalScript:
--LocalScript--
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
--etc
One last thing, scripts (LocalScripts atleast) don't work so well within Guis. Then tend to load before the Guis load.
I'd suggest putting them at the route (ScreenGui).

I know that I have to make the leaderstats myself, done that. So your main points are: 1. Use LocalPlayer (LocalScript) instead of my junk. 2. Use LocalScripts in Gui's. Question: Can I use :FindFirstChild to search for the leaderstats since they are already loaded by the time the Gui opens? fahmisack123 385 — 10y

I wasn't critising you, it's just some don't know. Anyway yeah use a FindFirstChild if you like, whatever works for you. hiccup111 231 — 10y

My account is one and the same. But that's not necessary, thanks anyway. A thumbs up would be nice though? =D hiccup111 231 — 10y
