Seems like you’re checking if hit.Parent is a table. Did you mean table.find()?

Hey, I ran your code and it seems to be working on my end. Are you getting any errors?

Based on my testing there are a few issues that you could run into:

  1. Either the code that you’ve defined inside of your custom PlayerAdded(player) function does not work properly. For example, not creating leader stats properly.
  2. Not setting up the parts inside of checkpoints folder properly. For example, missing the 0’th stage (if your stage leader stat value starts at 0).

Here is the complete script that I used myself to test:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local checkpoints = workspace.checkpoints

function createLeaderstats(player: Player): Folder
	local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
	if not leaderstats or not leaderstats:IsA("Folder") then
		-- Removing duplicate which is not a folder
		if leaderstats and not leaderstats:IsA("Folder") then
			leaderstats:Destroy()
		end
		
		-- Creates a new stage folder
		local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
		folder.Name = "leaderstats"
		folder.Parent = player
		
		return createLeaderstats(player) -- recursive call
	else
		-- Here, you can create all the leaderstat values
		-- that you want to appear
		
		local stages = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("stage")
		if not stages then
			local stageValue = Instance.new("IntValue")
			stageValue.Name = "stage"
			stageValue.Parent = leaderstats
		end
		
		-- Returning the leaderstats
		return leaderstats
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	createLeaderstats(player)

	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character: Model)
		local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
		local stage = leaderstats.stage

		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		task.wait()
		character:MoveTo(checkpoints[stage.Value].Position)

		humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			if hit.Parent == checkpoints then
				if tonumber(hit.Name) == stage.Value + 1 then
					stage.Value += 1
				end
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

Please note that I have renamed your custom PlayerAdded() function into the createLeaderstats() function. I did this to prevent the overlapping name with the Players.PlayerAdded event which might cause confusion.

Here is the place that I have tested it in as well, so you can see that your code actually works :slight_smile:

This file contains the same script as I have sent above, but it also has the checkpoint set up in workspace.
