try this

game.Workspace.Tower.Stage2.StartPlatform.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local char = hit.Parent
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)

	local playerCash = player.leaderstats.Drops.Value

	print("hi")
	if not Floor1Won then
		Floor1Won = true
		playerCash += 5
	end
end)
#25

This was literally the script I sent at the very start.

The code that I posted would also work if this one worked.
The problem might be the Tower getting destroyed every 5 minutes therefore the event disconnects.

Doing a :WaitForChild(“Tower”) in a while loop might solve the problem.

Could you type it out please? I’m facing some issues.

Try this:

while task.wait() do
	local connection
	local function createConnection()
		local Tower = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Tower")  -- Waiting for parts
		local Stage = Tower:WaitForChild("Stage2")
		local Part = Stage:WaitForChild("StartPlatform")

		connection = Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit) -- Detecting when touched
			local character = hit.Parent
			if not character then return end -- Checking if hit.Parent exists

			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
			if not player then return end -- Checking if the found character actually belongs to a player

			local playerCash = player.leaderstats.Drops

			print("hi")
			if not Floor1Won then
				Floor1Won = true
				playerCash.Value += 5 -- Increasing the value
			end
		end)
	end
	
	if not connection then
		createConnection()
	end
end

Okay, I’ll try it out and let you know as soon as I can.

There’s a few issues with this code block so I’ll go over each part

game.Workspace.Tower:WaitForChild("Stage2"):WaitForChild("StartPlatform").Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local char = hit.Parent
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)

You’re not checking that player is actually there. Please do this, no seriously

if not player then return end -- some random part probably touched it

What I assume the main issue is this:

	local playerCash = player.leaderstats.Drops.Value

	print("hi")
	if not Floor1Won then
		Floor1Won = true
		playerCash += 5
	end

Many others have pointed this out already, you’ve created a variable to the current value in that value object, NOT the value object itself. What happens here is that when you go to add 5 to the value, you’re adding it to a number.

Again this is fairly easy to fix

-	local playerCash = player.leaderstats.Drops.Value
+	local playerCash = player.leaderstats.Drops

	print("hi")
	if not Floor1Won then
		Floor1Won = true
-		playerCash += 5
+		playerCash.Value += 5
	end

I tried it out, but it still doesn’t work.

I tried all of these too. This is weird.
