leader board not working in roblox studio - lua

Question

I am trying to make a leader board that tells the player how much cats they have collected. the player has a file and the script counts how many items the file has then displays it on the leaderboard, but it doesn't work(shows the leaderboard but no second row for the amount collected)! Any ideas??
here is my code:
`local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local catscollected = player:WaitForChild("catsCollected")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local folder = Instance.new("Folder", player)
folder.Name = "leaderstats"
local catsamount = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
catsamount.Name = "Cats Found"
catsamount.Value = 0
while wait(0.1) do
catsamount.Value = 0
for _, v in pairs(catscollected:GetChildren()) do
catsamount.Value = catsamount.Value + 1
end
end
end)`

Answer 1

You have to parent catsamount to folder and folder to player:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local catscollected = player:WaitForChild("catsCollected")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
folder.Name = "leaderstats"
folder.Parent = player
local catsamount = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
catsamount.Name = "Cats Found"
catsamount.Value = 0
catsamount.Parent = folder
while wait(0.1) do
catsamount.Value = 0
for _, v in pairs(catscollected:GetChildren()) do
catsamount.Value = catsamount.Value + 1
end
end
end)
This is so that the folder will be added to the player after it is created - Instance.new() creates an instance, but it does not parent the created instance to anything so it will not appear anywhere.
