why wont this work? when i play it nothing happens.
function OnPlayerJoin(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local points = Instance.new("IntValue",player)
points.Name = "Points"
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerJoin)
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
nothing is showing up still for some reason, maybe its something wrong with my studio?
Where's your leaderboard script located in studio? Maybe that's the reason.
its in serverscriptservice
Did you make sure it's not disabled? I tested it in my studio and it works fine.
nope its not diabled
And there aren't any errors in output?
no the output is blank
is the leader board script in a local script, or a regular script?
it worked, i had it in a local script at first, then i put it into a regular one, and its working now. thank
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)
Tested and working
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
