Why does this script not make a Folder and value in a real game?

So when a player joins it should create a new folder and values inside that folder. But when i create a new server it doesn't do that why? Server Script

local removeEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerTo

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    removeEvent:FireClient(player)
end)

** Local Script **

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local event = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PlayerTo")

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    local NewFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
    NewFolder.Parent = game.Workspace.Stat
    NewFolder.Name = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
    local PointValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
    PointValue.Value = 0
    PointValue.Name = "Points"
    PointValue.Parent = NewFolder
    local AssistValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
    AssistValue.Value = 0
    AssistValue.Name = "Assists"
    AssistValue.Parent = NewFolder
end)

Put all the folder making stuff in the server script and then just remove the local. Adding a folder to the player cannot be done and shown to the whole server if you are using a local script I think. happytimeroblox101 36 — 5y

This also means you don't need a event happytimeroblox101 36 — 5y

-- server side


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local NewFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
    NewFolder.Parent = game.Workspace.Stat
    NewFolder.Name = player.Name
    local PointValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
    PointValue.Value = 0
    PointValue.Name = "Points"
    PointValue.Parent = NewFolder
    local AssistValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
    AssistValue.Value = 0
    AssistValue.Name = "Assists"
    AssistValue.Parent = NewFolder
end)

If I were you I would put the folder in the player in players them self and not workspace, but that's your choice
