Warn script error

Side note, but connect is deprecated

Also I believe the reason why it’s erroring is cause you’re attempting to find a value of a string inside the Players service, which won’t work

How do I reference a player using a string?

You’re trying to index a string’s “leaderstats” field, yet a string doesn’t have such a field. You first need to find the player object who that name belongs to, let’s write a separate function for that: local function getPlayerFromName(name) -- loop over all players: for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do -- if their name matches (case insensitive), return with that player: if player.Name:lower() == name:lower() then return player …

There’s been a post relevant to this I believe, you can check that out or try out this script:

local function GetPlayerFromString(Name)
    print(Name)
    for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        print(Player.Name)
        if Player.Name:lower() == Name:lower() then
            print("Found the target")
            return Player
        end
    end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    local target = script.Parent.Parent.WarnUserBox.Text
 
    print(typeof(target)) --This would be a string

    local reason = script.Parent.Parent.Reason.Text
    local TargetPlayer = GetPlayerFromString(target)
    print(TargetPlayer)
    if TargetPlayer then
        local TargetGui = TargetPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

        TargetGui.Reason.Text = reason
        TargetGui.ZiaWarnMsg.Visible = true
        print("Warned User.")
    else
        print("Not a valid name.")
    end
end)
