1. Delete the ) (There would be more step if it still error) Nguyenlegiahung 1091 — 5y

when i do that, my function calls underline yellow :( SupaEpicDad 0 — 5y

It’s underlining red since all the syntax errors have been resolved. You’re now experiencing a logic problem with your code. You cannot call “player” outside of the PlayerAdded signal since it’s only passed as a parameter in it’s scope, making the CharacterAdded signal invalid. Same issue applies for saying character.Humanoid.Died. Ziffixture 6913 — 5y

Maybe give the link to the Alvin Blox Video so I can try to re-write the script for you. JuzeyPlayz -83 — 5y

Here put this script from the video and see what goes on tell me if it worked. You can change Money to your currency like Cash I see you put that.

01local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02 
03local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
04 
05local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("MoneySave")

11playersLeft = 0

15game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

17 playersLeft = playersLeft +1
18 
19 local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
20 
21 folder.Parent = player
22 
23 folder.Name = "leaderstats"

26 
27 local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
28 
29 money.Parent = folder
30
