Sell is not a valid member of Folder "ReplicatedStorage.BindableEvents"

Yes, but make sure the player is defined. In that example, I just put LocalPlayer as a placeholder. Replace it with whatever the player instance is.

#22

i put in game.players for the local players and now i have a yellow error Infinite yield possible on 'Players:WaitForChild(“leaderstats”)

#23

I meant the actual player that has the stats:

can you show me how i would put this in code

#25

i put mine in code like this

local stats = game.Players.Guest_player1689:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
#26

Well, assuming you’re handling this on the server, and it’s inside your sell bindable event connection, you’d do this:

ReplicatedStorage.BindableEvents.Sell.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local stats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	local Cash = stats:WaitForChild("Cash")
	Cash.Value += player.leaderstats.Power.Value*2 -- Simplified with +=
	stats.Power.Value = 0 
end)
#27

does this go in the begging or
end of my code?

#29

I’m not sure what you mean by that. Connections to events can go anywhere, really.

Make sure you switch out the .Event for .OnServerEvent!

#30

make it:

ReplicatedStorage.BindableEvents.Sell.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	if player ~= nil then 
		player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value + player.leaderstats.Power.Value*2
		player.leaderstats.Power.Value = 0 
	end
end)
#31

it wouldnt be .OnClientEvent, it’s a server script.

#32

You’re right, I just mixed them up. They’ve been edited out

#33

still getting a error after replacing server event with on server event here is the error now WaitForChild is not a valid member of RBXScriptSignal

#34

what line of code was the error on?

#35 
local stats = game.Players.PlayerAdded:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
#36

that is in a different script. could you post the script that was in?

#37

this is the script i clicked on the error and this is where it brought me
heres the whole script

local stats = game.Players.PlayerAdded:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Cash = stats:WaitForChild("Cash")
local ReplicatedStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage

ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.Power.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, valueFolder)
	if player.Debounce.Value == false then
		player.leaderstats.Power.Value = player.leaderstats.Power.Value + valueFolder.Power.Value*(player.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value + 1)
		player.Debounce.Value = true
		wait(valueFolder.cooldown.Value)
		player.Debounce.Value = false
	end
end)
ReplicatedStorage.BindableEvents.Sell.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	if player ~= nil then 
		player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value + player.leaderstats.Power.Value*2
		player.leaderstats.Power.Value = 0 
	end
end)
#38

remove the first 2 lines of code, as you dont use them

#39

You need to put the first 2 lines inside the Bindable event connection. For example:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

ReplicatedStorage.BindableEvents.Sell.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	if player ~= nil then 
		local stats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
		local Cash = stats:WaitForChild("Cash")
		Cash.Value += stats.Power.Value*2
		stats.Power.Value = 0 
	end
end)
#40

those 2 lines arent used… so he doesnt need them

and that will fix the script

#41

PlayerAdded is an event and not an instance, so calling WaitForChild on it is going to produce an error.
