I made a clicking tool, when you click, it adds 1 to your leaderstats. simple right? but then I get an error when ever I click it…

My Leaderstats script:

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

my tool script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	player.leaderstats.Clicks.Value +=1
end)

my error:

 Players.Kimathi4theWin.Backpack.Tool.AddToClicks:4: attempt to index nil with 'leaderstats'  -  Server - AddToClicks:4
#2

Try this script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Value = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Clicks.Value 

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	Value = Value + 1
end)

Try it:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
	script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
		p:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Clicks.Value += 1
	end)
end)

If it doesn’t work send me error

You are using a Server Script, LocalPlayer is nil on the Server

He don’t needs to use LocalPlayer

I am telling him why it does not work

You could either use RemoteEvents to Fire the Server to give you the points, or to make the Tool completely ServerSided and reference the Player another way

#9

Remote Events are more complicated and again he don’t need to use LocalPlayer
