My sell place isn't working for my simulator, can someone help me?
i was trying to make a sell button and when i tried it it says:
"Workspace.Sell.Script:7: attempt to index nil with 'Value'"
here's the script for the sell:
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
local leaderstats = player:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
local Cash = player:findFirstChild("Cash")
local Strength = player:findFirstChild("Strength")
if Strength.Value > 0 then
Cash.Value = Cash.Value + Strength.Value*1
Strength.Value = 0
end
end
end)

You are looking for the cash inside of the player itself as opposed to the leaderstats. You meant to look in the latter therefore Instance::FindFirstChild returns nil.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
if player then
local leaderstats = player.leaderstats
local Cash = leaderstats.Cash
local Strength = leaderstats.Strength
if Strength.Value > 0 then
Cash.Value = Cash.Value + Strength.Value
Strength.Value = 0
end
end
end)
And by the way you don't need Instance:FindFirstChild if you are actually able to guarantee that an instance with the provided name exists. Btw multiplying by 1 is redundant since any number multiplied by 1 results in itself
