I keep getting : bad argument #2 (string expected, got nil), any help?
I keep getting this error : Players.SpoostyGuy.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Shop.ImageButton.Script:5: bad argument #2 (string expected, got nil)
my code:
01 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(plr) |
02 | local playerTouch = game.Players[plr] |
03 |
04 | if playerTouch.leaderstats.Coins.Value >= 60 then |
05 | print("Bought!") |
06 | playerTouch.leaderstats.Coins.Value = playerTouch.leaderstats.Coins.Value -60 |
07 | else |
08 | print("Not ENought Money!!") |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
11 |
12 | pcall(function(msg) |
13 | warn(msg) |
14 | end) |
Also, I am using a DataStore and the leaderboard does exist
Line 5 is fine but Line 2 is the problem
Help would be appreciated

Is this the full script? It doesn't seem like the error should be on line 5. If it is not what line is the error on the shortened version? blazar04 281 — 4y

If is a LocalScript (it should be as you are manipulating UI), you could reference the player as local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer and fire a RemoteEvent to update leaderstats server-side.

Ok so Ill use an event to fire a server event using two variables(the cost and the player) and get the server event in server side by using a script and check if the player has enough money in the script and updating the players leader stats if they do SpoostyGuy 18 — 4y

MouseButton1Click does not have the player as argument, it has nothing. You can check that in the Object Browser in studio inside "ImageButton"
