Strange issue occuring, most likely with operators? (If, ==, et cetera)

Alright, just a few things to begin:

  • I don't receive any output errors.
  • The script is NOT a localscript
  • The script resides in a part along with a click detector.

Here's the script:

local light = game.Lighting.globaltyc
local ipath = game.Workspace.Tycoon.Tycoon.InvInt
local ipath2 = game.Workspace.Tycoon2.Tycoon.InvInt
local btnamnt = 1 -- X is sold each time.
local ltet = 0 -- If money is less than or equal to X, don't allow.
local price = 2 -- X is gained from each item.


script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(hit)
    print(hit.Name)

    if game.Players:findFirstChild(hit.Name) == light.TycUser1.Value then
        if ipath.Stone.Value <= ltet then
            print("You need more stone!")
        if ipath.Stone.Value > 0 then
            ipath.Stone.Value = ipath.Stone.Value - btnamnt
            local stats = (hit):findFirstChild("leaderstats")
            local cash = stats:findFirstChild("Cash")
            cash.Value  = cash.Value + price
            end
        end
    end

    if game.Players:findFirstChild(hit.Name) == light.TycUser2.Value then 
        if ipath2.Stone.Value <= ltet then
            print("You need more stone!")
        if ipath2.Stone.Value > 0 then
            ipath2.Stone.Value = ipath2.Stone.Value - btnamnt
            local stats = (hit):findFirstChild("leaderstats")
            local cash = stats:findFirstChild("Cash")
            cash.Value  = cash.Value + price
            end
        end
    end


end)

In case you're curious, this script consists of two variants of the same function, except one references a Tycoon and the other references a Tycoon2.

The base of the script (subtracting ore, adding money) works just fine. If I remove the check, it functions just fine. However, the check is required, and seems to be breaking it.

Whenever I go into "Play Solo" mode and click this button, it only outputs "Player1", and nothing else executes.

light.TycUserX.Value is a string value which is automatically assigned when the player joins.

Any help, like always, is greatly appreciated!

You need to capitalize the first "F" in :FindFirstChild(). If that's not the problem, I'm not sure. Sorry, all I can think of at the moment.
