It's simple. Make it at a LocalScript and put it at the SarterGui or at the StarterPack.

If this isn't in a local script, then Nano is right. LocalPlayer fails to do anything if it's not a local script. If it is, try placing a print(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack:findFirstChild("Fishing rod")) to see if it's a correct path.

nvm i got it all it took was

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.buyfx:Play()
	if script.Parent.Parent.description.Text == "Gold fish" and game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack:findFirstChild("Gold fish") then
repeat game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack:findFirstChild("Gold fish"):remove() game.Players.LocalPlayer.gamestats.m.Value=game.Players.LocalPlayer.gamestats.m.Value+10 until game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack:findFirstChild("Gold fish") == nil

easy..
