Attempt to index number with 'Value'

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

The script that receives is:

game.ReplicatedStorage.UpgradeClicker.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, number, cost)
	if plr.leaderstats.Clicks >= cost then
		local multiplyby = number + 1
		local multiplier = plr:WaitForChild("Multiplier")

		multiplier.Value = multiplyby
		game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Multiplier"):SetAsync(plr.UserId, multiplyby)
	end
end)

The script that fires is:

local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").UpgradeClicker

--[[script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Clicks.Value >= script.Parent.Cost.Value then
		remote:FireServer(script.Parent.Name, script.Parent.Cost.Value)
	else
		print("Not enough clicks")
	end
end)--]]

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	remote:FireServer(script.Parent.Name, script.Parent.Cost.Value)
end)

I keep getting the error:

Try this:

game.ReplicatedStorage.UpgradeClicker.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, number, cost)
	if plr.leaderstats.Clicks >= cost.Value then
		local multiplyby = number + 1
		local multiplier = plr:WaitForChild("Multiplier")

		multiplier.Value = multiplyby
		game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Multiplier"):SetAsync(plr.UserId, multiplyby)
	end
end)

local remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").UpgradeClicker

--[[script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Clicks.Value >= script.Parent.Cost.Value then
		remote:FireServer(script.Parent.Name, script.Parent.Cost.Value)
	else
		print("Not enough clicks")
	end
end)--]]

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	remote:FireServer(script.Parent.Name, script.Parent.Cost)
end)

Found a problem you’d compared an instance:

plr.leaderstats.Clicks

To a number so change it to:

if plr.leaderstats.Clicks >= cost then

I’m pretty sure Clicks is a value, meaning it should be plr.leaderstats.Clicks.Value
Rather than
plr.leaderstats.Clicks
As you are indexing the value, not the object.

You are comparing an instance (Clicks) with a value, which is why you are getting this error. To fix this problem, you just need to add .Value to your server script. Also, you are adding a String with a number, which is a bigger problem. To fix this, you need to convert the String to a number by doing tonumber(number).

Here is your updated Server Script:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local MultiplierDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Multiplier")

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local UpgradeClicker = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("UpgradeClicker")

UpgradeClicker.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, number, cost)
   if plr.leaderstats.Clicks.Value >= cost then
      local multiplyby = tonumber(number) + 1
      local multiplier = plr:WaitForChild("Multiplier")
      
      multiplier.Value = multiplyby
      MultiplierDataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, multiplyby)
end)
