Why does my script say attempt to index nil with leaderstats?

My code is here, and I am using a script on line 20 is where the error is

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("IntValue",player)
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

    local Kills = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
    Kills.Name = "Kills"
    Kills.Value = 0

    local Deaths = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
    Deaths.Name = "Deaths"
    Deaths.Value = 0

    local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue",leaderstats)
    Cash.Name = "Cash"
    Cash.Value = 1000
end)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Bought.BoughtACR.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
    if player.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= 1000 then -- works until here
        print("something")
        player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value - 1000
    end
end)

Also, just an added tip, This is a server script, so you won't be able to get the "LocalPlayer" for your variable at the top. firespear500 12 — 3y

You did not define player, the OnServerEvent has a player argument by default. Starting on line 19, define player like this:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Bought.BoughtACR.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    if player.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= 1000 then -- works until here
        print("something")
        player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value - 1000
    end
end)

This will fix your error.
