(Probably a very obvious mistake) Why won't this work?
01 | tab={"Player1","Noob","builderman","etc"} |
02 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
03 | stats = Instance.new("IntValue",plr) |
04 | stats.Name = "leaderstats" |
05 | points = Instance.new("IntValue",stats) |
06 | points.Name = "Points" |
07 | for i,v in pairs(tab) do--I'm pretty sure the error is somewhere from here to the end |
08 | Kids=game.Players:GetChildren() |
09 | if Kids==v then |
10 | Kids.leaderstats.Points.Value=9 |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end) |
nothing in the output and when the people in the table enter,nothing happen

In line 9 of that code snippet, you are comparing a Table (game.Players:GetChildren()) with a a String (v, which in this context is a member of that table tab, of which all are Strings). That if statement will always not go through.
I assume you want to check if the player that just joined is on that list, and if so give them 9 points:
01 | tab={"Player1","Noob","builderman","etc"} |
02 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
03 | stats = Instance.new("IntValue",plr) |
04 | stats.Name = "leaderstats" |
05 | points = Instance.new("IntValue",stats) |
06 | points.Name = "Points" |
07 | for i,v in pairs(tab) do |
08 | if plr.Name == v then |
09 | points.Value = 9 -- Since I assume it is plr you're wanting to give points to, we already have their Points IntValue object. |
10 | break -- no need to continue looping if we get a match. |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end) |
Also, try to use spaces before and after all operands (including the string concatenation one: ..) Errors sometimes popup because a phrase you intended to be separate was considered one word by the interpreter, and it also looks a little cleaner. This is not a requirement, as you code is correct without the spaces.
