Workspace.tecknobladee.Punch.Handle.Damage:6: attempt to index nil with 'leaderstats'?

I want to make it so every rebirth you gain 0.25 dmg but an error occurred.

15:10:43.471 - Workspace.tecknobladee.Punch.Handle.Damage:6: attempt to index nil with 'leaderstats'

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit, player)
    local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid')
    if humanoid then
        humanoid:TakeDamage(player.leaderstats.rebirths.Value / 4 + 5)
    end
end)

The Touched event only returns one parameter, and that the thing that hit the part. It doesn't return the player that touched the part. Since you're already checking if the thing that hit the part is a character, you can get the player from the character if it has one by using the Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter function.

EDIT: You can get the player's Character that is holding the tool by just using script.Parent's. Then you can use the Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter function to get the player from the Character.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid')
    if humanoid then
        local CurrentCharacter = script.Parent.Parent.Parent -- You may need to change how many parent's you need to reach the Character
        local CurrentPlayer = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(CurrentCharacter)
        humanoid:TakeDamage(CurrentPlayer.leaderstats.rebirths.Value / 4 + 5)
    end
end)

Hope this helps.

Are you sure leaderstats exist inside the player? Try making variables before the TakeDamage function for the leaderstats xInfinityBear 1777 — 4y

What do you mean it keeps looking in the workspace? It shouldn't be looking in the workspace. Can you send me a screenshot of your code? xInfinityBear 1777 — 4y
