Need help with leaderstats & tool, once again

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

making a weight that adds to the players strength value (in leaderstats), such an original idea, right?

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

when i click the tool, it doesn’t add to the leaderstats, and it gives me an error.

the error:

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

i have tried looking on the developer hub on changing values using leaderstats, but nothing happened.

my code:

this is a local script, in a tool.

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Lift:FireServer()
end)

and this is a server script.


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	
	local strength = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
	strength.Name = "Strength"
end)

game.StarterPack.Weight.Lift.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	player.leaderstats.strength.Value = player.leaderstats.strength.Value + 1
	
end)

thanks for reading, any help is apreciated.

ps. the remote event is inside a tool called “Weight”.

strength should be Strength, capitalization is key.

Also, to make your thing a bit simpler, change

player.leaderstats.strength.Value = player.leaderstats.strength.Value + 1

To

player.leaderstats.Strength.Value += 1

The line in your OnServerEvent

game.StarterPack.Weight.Lift.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	player.leaderstats.strength.Value = player.leaderstats.strength.Value + 1
	
end)

Should be

game.StarterPack.Weight.Lift.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	player.leaderstats.Strength.Value += 1
end)

Are you getting any errors or anything?

Okay I must’ve not waken up yet and didn’t realise the StarterPack remote, thanks for that @ProBaturay!

It is because you are using the StarterPack folder. It is not firing the RemoteEvent in the StarterPack folder. You may move the RemoteEvent to ReplicatedStorage.

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Weight:FireServer()

And then

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Weight.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)

end)

It won’t work because you set the name as “Strength” but later you’re trying to find “strength”. Make sure you have a capital S.
