Player purchase system not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

when player clicks the button it should take the price out of the tokens

---/// locals
local PurchaseItem = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.PurchaseItem
local PurchaseButton = script.Parent
local PricesFolder = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Prices
local Item = PricesFolder.Speed
local Price = Item.Value
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

PurchaseButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plr)
	
	if player.leaderstats.Tokens.Value >= Price then
		player.leaderstats.Tokens.Value = player.leaderstats.Tokens.Value - Price
		
	end 
end)

The Bug

player.leaderstats.Tokens.Value = player.leaderstats.Tokens.Value - Price

You should put this in a script, not a local script. This is because only the player would be able to see the tokens change.

This won’t work because you are trying to do this locally.

You need to fire a remote event to the server and make the purchase there.

Create a remote event and place it in ReplicatedService

local script

PurchaseButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plr)
        if player.leaderstats.Tokens.Value >= Price then	 
              game.ReplicatedStorage.BuySomething:Fire()
       end 
end)

Server script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.BuySomething.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
        if player.leaderstats.Tokens.Value >= Price then
 	player.leaderstats.Tokens.Value = player.leaderstats.Tokens.Value - Price
	
    end 
end)

I typed this out quick so I may have made a mistake :upside_down_face:
