My script won’t work. Can anybody tell me why? (It’s for selling strength to get cash in a sim)
Script: (I don’t know how to do it like other people do it)

local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”)
if h then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild(“leaderstats”)
local money = leaderstats.Cash
local selling = leaderstats.Strength
if selling.Value >= 0 then
money.Value = money.Value + selling.Value*1
selling.Value = 0
end
end
end
end)

local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”)
    if h then
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        if player then
            local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild(“leaderstats”)
            local money = leaderstats.Cash
            local selling = leaderstats.Strength
            if selling.Value >= 0 then
                money.Value += selling.Value
                selling.Value = 0
            end
        end
    end
end)

ok I made it easier to read so I can look at it

so what exactly isn’t working?

When I get strength then try and step on the sell part, I don’t get any coins.

local part = script.Parent
local debounce = false
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if player and debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild(“leaderstats”)
        local money = leaderstats.Cash
        local selling = leaderstats.Strength
        if selling.Value >= 0 then
            money.Value += selling.Value
            selling.Value = 0
        end
        debounce = false
    end
end)

I made the script better, also the problem could be that you don’t have a leaderstats

I have leaderstats, all the scripts that apply, I have.

6

any errors in output? or script analysis?

7

No script errors are shown. (don’t mind this)

8

can you add prints in your code and see how far it gets?
that will help

9

one problem could be that you are changing values via the client and you are checking them on the server

10

wait it says syntax error: Expected ‘)’ ( to close ‘(’ at line 3), got < eof > (Using your script.)

12

Where is this script in hierarchy (Explorer)

13

it’s in “SellPart”
(character limit)

14

Local script or normal script?

15

I thought that was obvious with the first line in the code :joy:

normal script
(character limit)

17

are you changing leaderstats values in local scripts?

18

Could you send any screenshot? It can help

19

I don’t find the code to be wrong so I think this has to be it

if that isn’t the problem then this is hard since he have little info
