Cannot get money when touching part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1 
function onHit(player)
	if player then
		player.leaderstats.Bucks.Value = player.leaderstats.Bucks.Value + 100
	end
end
onHit()

Here is my leaderboard script:

	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

	local Pets = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Pets.Parent = leaderstats
	Pets.Name = "Pets"
	Pets.Value = 1

	local Bucks = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Bucks.Parent = leaderstats
	Bucks.Name = "Bucks"
	Bucks.Value = 0
end)

Is there a reason why it is not increasing when I touch it?

#2 
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit))
    if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and game.Players:FindFirstChild("Hit.Parent.Name") then
        local Player = game.Players:FindFirstChild("Hit.Parent.Name")
        local leader = Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
        if leader ~= nil then
           local Bucks = leader:FindFirstChild("Bucks")
           if Bucks ~= nil then
               Bucks.Value = Bucks.Value + 100
           end
       end
    end
end)

Is this your whole script under the part? If so, you’ll want to add a .Touched event. For example:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onHit)
#4

leaderstats is not a valid member of MeshPart “Workspace.jumbopushpop112.LeftFoot” is the error I am getting in the console

#5

.Touched events give the part that hit as the parameter, not the player. If you look at @Crygen54’s response, you can see an example of how to get the player there.

#6

Touched passes the part that touched this part. You need to first check and see if it belongs to a character, if it does then you check if that character belongs to a player.

if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then -- check if char
    local player = game:GetService('Players'):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

    if player then
        -- touched by a players character
        player.leaderstats.Bucks.Value = player.leaderstats.Bucks.Value + 100
    end
end
