Scripting problem

[Legend_4lex]

So i wanted to make a script that when a player touches a part the players points would drop down but it gives me an error which says leaderstats is not a valid member of Model.Also the script is inside that part

You are looking for leaderstats in their character, use game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter()

[EmbatTheHybrid (Embat)]

You’re getting the character and checking the leaderstats, you need to get the player, Use

game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(lean.Parent)

And get the leaderstats from there

I guess leaderstats must be in player dude.

The probem is that the leaderstats is a child of the player object, not the character. You need to get the player from the touched character. Here’s how to use the function to get the player.

[Valkyrop (JustAGuy)]

local part = script.Parent
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local db = false
local Delay = 1 -- how long to wait between each touch

part.Touched:Connect(function(lean)
    if lean.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") == nil then return end
    if  db == false then
       db = true
       local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(lean.Parent)
       local leaderstats = player.leaderstats
       local Points = leaderstats.Points
       Points.Value -=5
       task.wait(Delay)
       db = false
    end
end)

I suggest putting a debounce if you want it to not subtract 5 from you too quickly.
