Help With Coding This "Get To Stage To Unlock Door Script"

So I am currently making my game where you basically do obbies and quizzes to make it to the next stage, and once you get to a certian stage, you can unlock a door to the new level.

My Issue was: I am a beginner coder/scripter so I had no idea what I was doing. Also I cant figure out how to create the variable for leaderstats. Another problem is that, well, I don’t know what I am doing wrong. Here is the code and some more stuff:

Leaderstats in explorer

local door = game.Workspace.PayDoor1

local player = game.Players.PlayerAdded

local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")

door.CanCollide = true


local function OpenDoor()
	door.CanCollide = false
	
end

if leaderstats.Stage.Value < 3 then end

door.Touched:Connect(OpenDoor())


function oa(object)
local player = game.Players:playerFromCharacter(object)
if player ~= nil then
local ls = player.leaderstats
local sl = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(ls.Stage.Value)
print("gah")
object.Torso.CFrame = object.Torso.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,3,0)
wait()
object.Torso.CFrame = sl.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,3,0)
end end


function oe(object)
if object.className == "Player" then
local ack = Instance.new("IntValue")
ack.Name = "leaderstats"
local ack2 = Instance.new("IntValue")
ack2.Name = "Stage"
ack2.Value = 1
ack2.Parent = ack
ack.Parent = object
end end

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(oe)
game.Workspace.ChildAdded:connect(oa)

I have tried so many things like finding places videos and pictures that may help with finding the variable for leaderstats and also I tried putting the door script in the same script as the leaderstats.

If there is anything that I am doing wrong/need to be doing please let me know.

instead of having this outside of the open door function, do it inside and with >= instead of <

local door = game.Workspace.PayDoor1

local player = game.Players.PlayerAdded

local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")

door.CanCollide = true


local function OpenDoor()
	if leaderstats.Stage.Value >= 3 then
		door.CanCollide = false
	end
end

door.Touched:Connect(OpenDoor())

I tried, and this is what the output is saying

When it says “WaitForChild is not a valid member of RBXScriptSignal” I think it is referring to this

local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")

Nope, you can set an event as a variable.

However, you must connect it.

#6

Cool, didn’t know that.

What script is having the issue, the one the checks the leaderstat value, or the one that creates the leaderstat?

#7

The problem is he didn’t connect the event.

#8

Its the one that check the value of the leaderstat

#9

How do I connect the event? And, in which script.

#10

Read the connecting functions here:

#11

I read it, and it shows like I connected the event here:

door.Touched:Connect(OpenDoor())
#12

Leave out the () so the code will be:

door.Touched:Connect(OpenDoor)
#13

Okay, ill try that. It put itself in there when I pressed enter

#15

That didn’t work either… The output keeps saying there is something wrong with line 5 which is why I think the variable for leaderstats is wrong. Or something else. Was the event that I had to connect the leaderstats, or was it the function, because I already connected the function.
