Script can't find leaderstats value inside player

As @txcIove said, you’re trying to reference leaderstats before it’s added to the player. Also, you’re assigning your fortnite variable to the value of what the value’s value is at the time you assign it. If you do it like that, it won’t update with the value.

Also, it seems that you added the listener inside of the function, which means it won’t listen unless the function is ran at least once. Simple fix, just move the listener outside of the function body.

--vari
local fortnite = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Money
--end

local debounce = true



function onTouched(hit)
	if (hit.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and debounce == true) then
		debounce = false
	end
	if fortnite.Value >= 25 then
		fortnite.Value = fortnite.Value - 25
		local h = Instance.new("Hat")
		local p = Instance.new("Part")
		h.Name = script.Parent.Parent.Name
		p.Parent = h
		p.Position = hit.Character:FindFirstChild("Head").Position
		p.Name = "Handle" 
		p.formFactor = 0
		p.Size = Vector3.new(0,-0.25,0) 
		p.BottomSurface = 0 
		p.TopSurface = 0 
		p.Locked = true 
		script.Parent.Mesh:clone().Parent = p
		h.Parent = hit.Character
		h.AttachmentPos = Vector3.new(0,-0.25,0)
		hit.Character.Hair.Transparency = 1
	end
	wait(5)
	debounce = true
end

script.Parent:WaitForChild("ClickDetector").MouseClick:Connect(onTouched)
