How do I add a player variable to my script?

how do I make a player variable? Like how everyone has a different health value. Server variable example is: How long the server has been up Player variable example is: How long a player has been on the server.

I’m asking this because I want to make everyone have a different gold value.

Edit: Sorry for the vagueness. So what I want is like a leaderboard system, like what PainterTable Said.

also to get a player variable u need to do game.Players.LocalPlayer (only in local scripts because a server script isn't used to find specific player values) HappyTimIsHim 652 — 6y

I think what you're asking is a leaderboard system. with this way you could check how long a player is on the server this session and how much gold he has.

Example leaderboard

view source
01local function onPlayerJoin(player)
02    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
03    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
04    leaderstats.Parent = player
05 
06    local gold = Instance.new("IntValue")
07    gold.Name = "Gold"
08    gold.Value = 0
09    gold.Parent = leaderstats
10 
11local.time = Instance.new("IntValue")
12time.Name = "Time"
13time.Value = 0
14time.Parent = leaderstats
15end

With this you have a folder in each Player with 2 Stats called gold and time. Now you could also do an easy function to make the IntValue in Time go up 1 every second. If you do that you can check with print how long the player is on the server or make a GUI and display it there. I just gave you the beginning.

Example of Time Function

view source
1while true do
2wait(1)
3time.Value = time.Value + 1
4end

(I dont know if this works, Roblox is down right now) But if this works you need to place it in the same script, right under my Lines up there.

Also if you would like to save all these informations it would take up even more effort. Paintertable 171 — 6y
