Why is there an error? I know its to do with the client side. What if i used remote functions

#22

Error is because you can’t access the local player when a module script is required by a server script because then it basically runs as a server script.

Have you thought of a solution yet?

So maybe make a seperate one inside of server storage and in that one do

local MerchantHandler = {}


function MerchantHandler.GetItems(Player)

 local LeaderstatsFolder = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
 local BoostsFolder = Player:WaitForChild("Boosts")
 local Items = {
	
	["Potion1"] = {Potion = BoostsFolder["Gem Potion"].Value, Time = 30, Image = "rbxassetid://15434984615", Title = "Gem Potion", MaxPurchase = 1,  Purchased = 0, Price = 12, Currency = LeaderstatsFolder:WaitForChild("Taps")},
	["Potion2"] = {Potion = BoostsFolder["Super Lucky"].Value, Time = 60, Image = "rbxassetid://15434984615", Title = "Super Luck Potion", MaxPurchase = 2,  Purchased = 0, Price = 24, Currency = LeaderstatsFolder:WaitForChild("Taps")},
	["Potion3"] = {Potion = BoostsFolder["Extra Lucky"].Value, Time = 90, Image = "rbxassetid://15434984615", Title = "Luck Potion", MaxPurchase = 3,  Purchased = 0, Price = 36, Currency = LeaderstatsFolder:WaitForChild("Taps")},
	
}

return Items
end


return MerchantHandler

Then in the server script you can do

local mod = require(game:GetService("ServerStorage"):FindFirstChild("Merchant").MerchantHandler)
local Remote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("Merchant").PotionPurchase


Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, purchaseThis)
        local Items = mod.GetItems(Player)
	local statsValue = Player:WaitForChild("Boosts"):FindFirstChild(purchaseThis)
	local info = Items[purchaseThis]
	if not statsValue or not info then warn("No Boost or info") end
	local price = info[purchaseThis].Price
	local currency = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):FindFirstChild(info[purchaseThis].Currency.Value)

	if currency >= price then
		currency -= price
		statsValue.Value += info[purchaseThis].Time
	end
end)
