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 — 4y

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)
