Neither of my leaderstat scripts worked, whats wrong?
I have two scripts, One the local script that is inside the TextLabel which has the purpose of changing the text label so It is equal to the players Balance which is on the leaderstats. The other script is the overall leaderstat which is supposed to increase by .50 every second. First time trying to work with leaderstats.
LeaderStat Script [] Meant to increase by .5 every second(which didn't work)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local folder = Instance.new("Folder",player)
folder.Name= "leaderstats"
local Balance = Instance.new("IntValue",folder)
Balance.Name="Balance"
Balance.Value = 0
while true do
wait(1)
Balance.Value = Balance.Value + .5
end
end)
TextLabel Script [] Meant to change the gui so it is equal to the players leaderstat Balance(which also didn't work)
local gui = script.Parent gui.Text = "Balance:"..game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Balance.Value
Note The leaderstat script is in the Workspace and the TextLabel LocalScript is under the TextLabel which is under the Frame which is under the ScreenGui which is obviously under StarterGui.

It does not change because you only updated the text once. Use a changed event that will fire each time a property changes.
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- Switch to :Connect, :connect is deprecated
local folder = Instance.new("Folder") -- parent argument is deprecated
folder.Name= "leaderstats"
folder.Parent = player -- always assign parent last
local Balance = Instance.new("IntValue")
Balance.Name= "Balance"
Balance.Value = 0
Balance.Parent = folder
while true do
wait(1)
Balance.Value = Balance.Value + 5 -- You made an IntValue, use NumberValue if you want .5
end
end)
Gui script:
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local ls = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
ls.Balance.Changed:Connect(function(value)
script.Parent.Text = "Balance: " .. value
end)

So if you want this work so use these scripts:
Leaderstats
function PlayerAdded(player)
local folder = Instance.new("Folder",player)
folder.Name= "leaderstats"
local Balance = Instance.new("IntValue",folder)
Balance.Name="Balance"
Balance.Value = 0
while true do
wait(1)
Balance.Value = Balance.Value + .5
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)
TextLabel
local gui = script.Parent while wait(0) do gui.Text = "Balance:".. game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Balance.Value end
