game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)

    function Leaderstats()
        leaderstats = Instance.new("IntValue")
        leaderstats.Parent = Player
        leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    end

    function PowerLevel()
        PowerLevel = Instance.new("IntValue")
        PowerLevel.Parent = Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
        PowerLevel.Name = "Power Level"
    end

    function Attack()
        Attack = Instance.new("IntValue")
        Attack.Parent = Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
        Attack.Name = "Attack"
        Attack.Value = 25
    end

    function Defense()
        Defense = Instance.new("IntValue")
        Defense.Parent = Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
        Defense.Name = "Defense"
        Defense.Value = 25
    end

    function Agility()
        Agility = Instance.new("IntValue")
        Agility.Parent = Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
        Agility.Name = "Agility"
        Agility.Value = 25
    end

    function Energy()
        Energy = Instance.new("IntValue")
        Energy.Parent = Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
        Energy.Name = "Energy"
        Energy.Value = 25
    end

    function Rank()
        Rank = Instance.new("StringValue")
        Rank.Parent = Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
        Rank.Name = "Rank"
        Rank.Value = ""
    end

    function SetValue()
        leaderstats = Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
        PowerLevel = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("PowerLevel")
        Attack = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Attack")
        Defense = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Defense")
        Agility = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Agility")
        Energy = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Energy")
        Rank = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Rank")

        PowerLevel.Value = Attack.Value + Defense.Value + Agility.Value + Energy.Value
    end

    Leaderstats()
    PowerLevel()
    Attack()
    Defense()
    Agility()
    Energy()
    Rank()  
    SetValue()

end)

The output focuses more on

    function SetValue()
        leaderstats = Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
        PowerLevel = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("PowerLevel")
        Attack = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Attack")
        Defense = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Defense")
        Agility = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Agility")
        Energy = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Energy")
        Rank = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Rank")

        PowerLevel.Value = Attack.Value + Defense.Value + Agility.Value + Energy.Value
    end

    Leaderstats()
    PowerLevel()
    Attack()
    Defense()
    Agility()
    Energy()
    Rank()  
    SetValue()

end)

Output:

I dont know if this is going to help but when you define PowerLevel as a child of Player you are finding it in game.Players.PLAYERNAME.PowerLevel and unless this is your proper intention to have it here there that is why it has a nil because it might not exist there. This is just an answer for the first problem.

Well did you want it to put it there or are you wanting it to be in the game.Workspace.PLAYERNAME.PowerLevel? hockey1scool 10 — 9y

I highly suggest you do not create a function for each value. Instead, create one function for all of them. Also, I suspect that you get the PowerLevel output error because you are searching for PowerLevel before it actually comes into existence. Before I provide a code fix, may I ask whether or not the script actually inserts the values into the Player or not? (If you don't know how to check, start a Solo Server, not play solo, and then go into the Player in the players menu and check if the values are there or not.)
