Idk why its not using my Time leaderstat that i already have.

[1_Lukeskyiwalker]

Typo in your code, you actually need to write

Time = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Time").Value

as i assume that the child Time is a numberValue or any equivalent…

[jamesonmonroe (FungusUnited)]

Yes its a number value and a int value

[1_Lukeskyiwalker]

My bad I read this a little too fast. When the code ran, did you see any warn output?

[jamesonmonroe (FungusUnited)]

Your good man in output yes, it shows Not enough Time to purchase (whatever tool im trying to buy)

[1_Lukeskyiwalker]

Alright, last thing I’ll ask you is to add a print(Time) right after your line

elseif canPurchase then
    -- Buying logic
    -- right here, add: print(Time)

• if the output is nil, then you didn’t retrieve correctly your intValue in leaderstats
• if the output is not nil, it means you most likely have accessed your instance’s value, but that the condition Time.Value >= Price is false.

Maybe I didn’t understand your problem correctly, but this is the only part of the code that you use your Time variable so I assume that the problem comes most-likely from the second point I’ve made. Hope it helps.

[jamesonmonroe (FungusUnited)]

Yeah its showing “nil” in output

[1_Lukeskyiwalker]

@jamesonmonroe

if Player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
	Time = Player.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Time")
end

Alright, let’s try changing the above code to

Time = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Time")
-- for debugging purposes, you could add a "print('done!')" right after this line of code

That was it man! Thank you. Issue solved

Glad that I’ve been useful
