script in the part (part is in serverstorage and the script is inside of the part):

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
	local pointsEarnt = tostring(script.Parent.PointsValue.Value)
	local xpEarnt = tostring(script.Parent.XPValue.Value)
	plr.leaderstats.Cubes.Value += 1
	plr.leaderstats.Points.Value += script.Parent.PointsValue.Value
	game.ReplicatedStorage.PlaySoundForLocalPlayer:FireClient(plr)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayEarnCurrencyBox:FireClient(plr, xpEarnt, pointsEarnt)
	script.Parent:Destroy()
end)

clienthandler localscript (localscript is in starterplayerscripts):

game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayEarnCurrencyBox.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plr, earntXP, earntPoints)
	local randint = math.random(200,800)
	local newUI = game.ReplicatedStorage.TotalValue:Clone()
	newUI.Container.Position = UDim2.new(tonumber("0."..randint),0,1.25,0)
	newUI.Container.PointsEarnt.Text = "+"..earntPoints.." Points"
	newUI.Container.XPEarnt.Text = "+"..earntXP.." XP"
	newUI.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
	
	newUI.Container:TweenPosition(
		UDim2.new(tonumber("0."..randint), 0, tonumber("0."..math.random(400,600)), 0),
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce,
		1,
		true
	)
	task.wait(1)
	for i=0, 1, 0.01 do
		newUI.Container.PointsEarnt.TextTransparency = i
		newUI.Container.XPEarnt.TextTransparency = i
		task.wait()
	end
	newUI:Destroy()
end)

any help would be appreciated, i have also tried modifying only the pointsEarnt text but then the xpvalue would be used instead for the pointsEarnt

plr doesn’t get passed through the remote event with OnClientEvent because you already have it through game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.
