How can I fix this error when trying to give the winner(s)'s reward?
So I was making a script where when the timer ends, the winner(s) will get their reward for winning but when It gets to the reward giving bit of code, it gives me an error.
The script:
local ingamePlayersFolder = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("IngamePlayers"):GetChildren()
local winnersFolder = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Winners"):GetChildren()
if #winnersFolder >= 1 or #ingamePlayersFolder >= 1 then
stats.Value = "Players win!"
if #winnersFolder >= 1 then
for i = 1, #winnersFolder do
game.Players[#winnersFolder[1]].leaderstats.Bux.Value = game.Players[#winnersFolder[1]].leaderstats.Bux.Value + winnersReward
end
end
The error:
Workspace.GameController:79: attempt to get length of a Instance value

Line 79 was the line where game.Players[#winnersFolder[1]].leaderstats.Bux.Value = game.Players[#winnersFolder[1]].leaderstats.Bux.Value + winnersReward is which is the same line where the error occurred. D4_rrk 89 — 4y

There isn't an Instance but I still get the error which directs me to that. D4_rrk 89 — 4y

I found out that I could just get the player from the character through :GetPlayerFromCharacter which solves my problem.
local ingamePlayersFolder = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("IngamePlayers"):GetChildren()
local winnersFolder = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Winners"):GetChildren()
if #winnersFolder >= 1 or #ingamePlayersFolder >= 1 then
stats.Value = "Players win!"
if #winnersFolder >= 1 then
for i = 1, #winnersFolder do
local winnerPlr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(winnersFolder[1])
winnerPlr.leaderstats.Bux.Value = winnerPlr.leaderstats.Bux.Value + winnersReward
print("success_winner")
end
end
end
