Code

local function onPartTouch(otherPart)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherPart.Parent)
local teleportData = {
player.leaderstats.coins
}
if player then
TeleportService:Teleport(6163547369, player, teleportData)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onPartTouch)

Error Message

15:01:03.833 Workspace.PLACE TP.Script:5: attempt to index nil with ‘leaderstats’ - Server - Script:5

I am using a script so that when a part is touched, the player gets teleported to the next level and keep their coins leaderboard stat. I have changed the code multiple times to fix errors, but now, i have no clue what is wrong.
I have checked

Also, here is the receiving code i am gonna use:

receivng code:

local TeleportService = game:GetService(“TeleportService”)

local teleportData = TeleportService:GetLocalPlayerTeleportData()
if teleportData then
local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild(“Humanoid”)
if (h~=nil) then
local thisplr = game.Players:findFirstChild(h.Parent.Name)
if (thisplr~=nil) then
local stats = thisplr:findFirstChild(“leaderstats”)
if (stats~=nil) then
local score = stats:findFirstChild(“Coins”)
if (score~=nil) then
score.Value = score.Value + teleportData.coins
end)

Any help will be appreciated greatly.

From the error message it looks like the player variable is nil. Attempt to index nil with leader stats, means that on line 5 when you say player.leaderstats.coins, the game reads it as nil.leaderstats.coins. You should check that the otherPart.Parent is a character. Try this:

local TeleportService = game:GetService(“TeleportService”)
local function onPartTouch(otherPart)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherPart.Parent)
     if player then
          local teleportData = {
          player.leaderstats.coins
          }
          TeleportService:Teleport(6163547369, player, teleportData)
     end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onPartTouch)

now it says coins is not a valid member of IntValue “Players.fartgas88_999.leaderstats” - Server - Script:6
15:23:59.127 Stack Begin - Studio
15:23:59.127 Script ‘Workspace.PLACE TP.Script’, Line 6 - function onPartTouch - Studio - Script:6
15:23:59.127 Stack End - Studio

should i redefine player, or replace player.leaderstats.coins with game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherPart.Parent).leaderstats.coins

Can I see your leader stats script. From the error message it looks like coins isn’t part of the leader stats.

#5

function PlayerEntered(new)
stats = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
stats.Name = “leaderstats”
stats.Parent = new
points = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
points.Name = “Coins”
points.Value = 0
points.Parent = stats
player = Instance.new(“StringValue”)
player.Parent = script
player.Value = new.Name
end
game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(PlayerEntered)

inGame = false
function PlayerEnteredAlt(new)
c = script:GetChildren()
if new.className == “Model” then
if new:FindFirstChild(“Head”) then
for i = 1, #c do
if new.Name == c[i].Value then
inGame = true
end
end
if inGame == false then
stats = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
stats.Name = “leaderstats”
stats.Parent = game.Players:playerFromCharacter(new)
points = Instance.new(“IntValue”)
points.Name = “Points”
points.Value = 0
points.Parent = stats
player = Instance.new(“StringValue”)
player.Parent = script
player.Value = stats.Parent.Name
end
end
inGame = false
end
end
game.Workspace.ChildAdded:connect(PlayerEnteredAlt)

hasStats = false
while true do
wait()
c = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #c do
if c[i]:FindFirstChild(“leaderstats”) then
hasStats = true
end
if hasStats == false then
cc = script:GetChildren()
for ii = 1, #cc do
if c[i].Name == cc[ii].Value then
cc[ii]:remove()
end
end
end
end
end

fyi i didnt make the leaderboard script i found it in toolbox

It should be players.leaderstats.Coins with a capital C.

#8

it works in studio now, but crashes in the roblox launcher when you touch the end.

#9

You need to add a debounce.

#10

What you have mentioned is not a good way of having cooldowns. What you should be using is os.clock() or os.time(). Yielding is certainly not a good way of having debounces.

local before = os.clock()

local function foo()
    if (os.clock() - before < 1) then return end -- make sure the cooldown has passed over 1 second
   
    print("called successfully")
    before = os.clock()
end

while game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait() do
     foo()
end
