leaderstats is not a valid member of Player? [SOLVED]

Asked 1,531 views1 answers

So I was building a simulator and randomly my code showed an error that said "leaderstats is not a valid member of Player". When clicking on it it brings to a server script in ServerScriptService that adjusts the players size when you click.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
		local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") 
		player.Character.Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value = player.leaderstats.Strength.Value/300 + 0.2
		player.Character.Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value = player.leaderstats.Strength.Value/300 + 0.2
		player.Character.Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value = player.leaderstats.Strength.Value/300 + 0.2
		player.Character.Humanoid.HeadScale.Value = player.leaderstats.Strength.Value/300 + 0.2
	player.leaderstats.Strength.Changed:connect(function()
		player.Character.Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value = player.leaderstats.Strength.Value/300 + 0.2
		player.Character.Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value = player.leaderstats.Strength.Value/300 + 0.2
		player.Character.Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value = player.leaderstats.Strength.Value/300 + 0.2
		player.Character.Humanoid.HeadScale.Value = player.leaderstats.Strength.Value/300 + 0.2
	end)
	end)
end)

And there was another error showing the same message. Clicking on the message sent me to a Local Script in StarterGui (the local script is in a text label which is in screengui in startergui) The Local Script code is under.

strength = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Strength

script.Parent.Text = "Strength: "..strength.Value
strength.Changed:connect(function()
	script.Parent.Text = "Strength: "..strength.Value
end)

I checked all my code and I'm sure that the problem was produced in the server script in ServerScriptService called "datastore" since that's where the Instance.new("IntValue") is made

local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local data1 = datastore:GetDataStore("StrengthData")
local data2 = datastore:GetDataStore("RebirthData")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",plr)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	local rebirths = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
	rebirths.Name = "Rebirths"
	local strength = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
	strength.Name = "Strength"
	strength.Value = data1:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0
	data1:SetAsync(plr.UserId, strength.Value) 
	rebirths.Value = data2:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0
	data2:SetAsync(plr.UserId, rebirths.Value)
	game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function()
		data1:SetAsync(plr.UserId, strength.Value)
		data2:SetAsync(plr.UserId, rebirths.Value)
	end)
end)

I tried changing plr to player, I tried using print(leaderstats.Parent) but it didn't print anything so I don't know how to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I was using a simulator kit (Tryanime's Simulator Kit) so I just have to re-use the kit so I just have to add the GUI changes without changing scripts. I'll let you know if other errors pop up

Try using this datastore I just made it took me like 10 mins but no problem. ds2 is way easier to use when it comes to datastore


local ds2 = require(1936396537)
local plrs = {}
function playeradded(player)
	local rebirth = ds2("Rebirths", player)
	local strength = ds2("Strength", player)
	
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local Stats = Instance.new("IntValue",plr)
	Stats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local rebirth = Instance.new("NumberValue",rebirth)
	rebirth.Name = "Rebirths"
	rebirth.Value = 0
	
	local strength = Instance.new("NumberValue", strength)
	strength.Name = "Strength"
	strength.Value = 0
end)

end

function save (player)
	local rebirth = ds2("Rebirths", player)
	local strength = ds2("Strength", player)
	
	rebirth:Set(player.leaderstats.rebirth.Value)
	strength:Set(player.leaderstats.strength.Value)
end

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	save(player)
end)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	table.insert(plrs, #plrs +1, player.Name)
	playeradded(player)
end)

function check(tbl, thing)
	for i, v in pairs (tbl) do
		if v == thing then
			return true
		end
	end
end

for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	if not check(plrs, v.Name) then
		table.insert(plrs, #plrs +1, v.Name)
		playeradded(v)
	end
end

I also remade the UI changer 

script.Parent.Text = ''..sortText(game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Strength").Value)

game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Strength").Changed:Connect(function(val)
	script.Parent.Text = ' '..sortText(val)
end)

Hope this works and make sure to accept it if it does

Thanks but it still didn't work. I'm trying to rescript it though so I will let you know if I fix it
