Try this instead:
function OnPlayerJoin(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local points = Instance.new("IntValue")
points.Name = "Points"
leaderstats.Parent = player
points.Parent = leaderstats
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerJoin)
First, Points has to be in leadertstats, not the player. Second, it's better not to use the parent argument of Instance.new

Where's your leaderboard script located in studio? Maybe that's the reason. NoahsRebels 99 — 5y

the parent of "Points" is a player, when it should be the leaderstats
function OnPlayerJoin(player) local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player) leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats" local points = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats) -- changed "player" to "leaderstats" points.Name = "Points" end game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerJoin)

function OnPlayerJoin(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local points = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats) --change here
points.Name = "Points"
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerJoin)
points parent needs to be the leaderstats folder
