Leaderstats giving strange error

TheTypicalDoge · June 15, 2021, 12:30am

I’ve been working on some code that has been getting a strange error. I’ve narrowed to done to my leaderstats function causing the issue. I’ve had the function in my script for 3 days now and has working fine until randomly it hasn’t, I haven’t changed anything with it.

My code:

local leaderstats = function() 
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
	money.Name = "Money"
	money.Parent = leaderstats
end
leaderstats()

The error:

I have no idea why I’m getting the error or what the contents of it means. The error also isn’t related to my script in any way, it mentions errors from line numbers that don’t exist in my script. If anyone could please explain to me what this is and how to prevent it, it would be very appreciated.

Hey. I’m not entirely sure but it seems like your leaderstats function takes 0 parameters. Maybe try:

local leaderstats = function() 
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
	money.Name = "Money"
	money.Parent = leaderstats
end
leaderstats(player)

TheTypicalDoge · June 15, 2021, 1:08am

I didn’t notice that but it still functions the same because its in a PlayerAdded function and ‘player’ was already predefined. Though I’ll still remove the argument for efficiency.

BlaxorReborn · June 15, 2021, 1:22am

Perhaps it’d be a better idea to use NumberValue instead?

local leaderstats = function() 
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local money = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	money.Name = "Money"
	money.Parent = leaderstats
end
leaderstats(player)

Edit: Sorry I haven’t use dev forum in a while now.

TheTypicalDoge · June 15, 2021, 1:25am

This is a server script and player is defined from the first parameter of the PlayerAdded event.

TheTypicalDoge · June 15, 2021, 1:27am

The error still occurs whether it’s a NumberValue or IntValue

DROP_BEAR87 · June 15, 2021, 1:29am

I have the same error this morning, scripts have been in place for weeks with no changes, maybe a bug

BlaxorReborn · June 15, 2021, 1:29am

Hm, I’m not certain about this but I felt like Core stuff getting an error is kind of a rare occasion?, Maybe a plugin is causing it perhaps?, because this is very new to me in a way, most of the core error I usually see is just package error.

local players = game:GetService(“Players”)
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)

local function leaderstats(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new(“Folder”)
leaderstats.Name = “leaderstats”
leaderstats.Parent = player

local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
money.Name = "Money"
money.Parent = leaderstats

end

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(leaderstats)

Getting exactly the same error
runs script to create leaderstats but errors on close
even tried reloading studio case it was bugged
only started happening this evening

TomazDev · June 15, 2021, 1:34am

It must be a Roblox bug. I use leaderstats and it started happening to me too, yesterday everything worked fine and i didn’t even change anything.

Tirikalina · June 15, 2021, 1:36am

looks to be a roblox bug. I can create other folders for the player on load without issue
its only if I try to create a leaderstats folder

thought I was going nuts earlier

GabNoob52 · June 15, 2021, 1:37am

It’s definitely a bug. Before this, the leaderstats and datastore script worked perfectly with no error. Now somehow, it prints out the same long error.

TheTypicalDoge · June 15, 2021, 1:37am

So this will be fixed automatically right?

Tirikalina · June 15, 2021, 1:38am

bit of a noob on devforum. Can anyone else report to Roblox plz

GabNoob52 · June 15, 2021, 1:40am

I don’t know right now. I just hope that they’ll look into it

ezkatka1 · June 15, 2021, 2:48am

im getting the similar problem

Project_Aurora · June 15, 2021, 3:21am

Same problem here, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

SoTrueMelon · June 15, 2021, 3:55am

Maybe it doesn’t work because you didn’t define the IntValue’s Value? Not sure, never had your problem.

Kaladinof4 · June 15, 2021, 1:58pm

Getting the same here. The line in question that throws the error in CoreGui is:

local function createKey(player: Player, primaryStat, stats)
	local stat = primaryStat and stats[player.UserId][primaryStat] or nil <-- This one here
	return {
		name = player.DisplayName:upper(),
		stat = stat and tonumber(stat) or stat,
	}
end

I wonder if it’s something to do with the argument stats sharing a name with the Roblox Global stats()? I don’t know enough about this. Definitely a Roblox issue though.
