  2. the issue is this script works and all but when i go into live server it will not let me spend points on anything at all nothing works and i get no errors or anything?

  3. idk i tried a lot of different ways methods ways it works and such and nothing works i can’t seem to figure out the problem?

not really sure but it could be that the player didnt load properly causing yielding/errors. try to press f9 to pull out the console and see whats going on in an live game and also try to load the game by waiting until its loaded in the top of script

i do pull the console, and i get no errors or anything it’s just empty basically theres nothing wrong supposedly?

ok so i’m using an old script here, this is the version that did work on live servers, the one in post does not but why?

local SpendPointsEvent = ReplicatedStorage.SpendPointsEvent

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local pointsValue = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Points")
local walkspeedValue = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Walkspeed")
local damageValue = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Damage")
local healthValue = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Health") -- Add support for the Health stat

local WalkspeedButton = script.Parent.WalkspeedButton
local DamageButton = script.Parent.DamageButton
local HealthButton = script.Parent.HealthButton -- Add support for the Health button
local PointStats = script.Parent.PointStats
local WalkSpeedStat = script.Parent.WalkSpeedStat
local DamageStats = script.Parent.DamageStats
local HealthStat = script.Parent.HealthStat -- Add support for the Health stat display

--Customizations--
local PointsRequired = 1
local maxWalkspeedPoints = 60
local maxDamagePoints = 500
local maxHealthPoints = 10000 -- Set maximum health points

local function updatePointsDisplay(points)
	PointStats.Text = "Points: " .. points
end

local function updateWalkspeedDisplay()
	WalkSpeedStat.Text = "Walkspeed: " .. walkspeedValue.Value
end

local function updateDamageDisplay()
	DamageStats.Text = "Damage: " .. damageValue.Value
end

local function updateHealthDisplay()
	HealthStat.Text = "Health: " .. healthValue.Value -- Display Health value from leaderstats
end

local function increaseWalkspeed()
	if pointsValue.Value >= PointsRequired and walkspeedValue.Value < maxWalkspeedPoints then
		SpendPointsEvent:FireServer(PointsRequired, "Walkspeed") -- Call the server-side event to spend points for Walkspeed
	else
		print("Insufficient points or Walkspeed already maxed!")
	end
end

local function increaseDamage()

	end
end

	end
end

-- Set the initial text of the DisplayPointsStat TextButton with the player's current points
updatePointsDisplay(pointsValue.Value)
