why are my leaderboard remote functions not working?
I am making a game and want to make a power up shop that can affect all players and reset after a certain amount of time similar to Toh. Here are the scripts i have at the moment
inside the button
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
game.ReplicatedStorage.PowerUps.Gravity:FireServer()
end)
leaderstats
local function onPlayerJoin(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
-- Display an 'IntValue' on leaderboard
local gold = Instance.new("IntValue")
gold.Name = "Gold"
gold.Value = 0
gold.Parent = leaderstats
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerJoin)
and the gravity function
game.ReplicatedStorage.PowerUps.Gravity.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
if player.leaderstats.cash.value >= 10 then
player.leaderstats.cash.value = player.leaderstats.cash.value - 10
game.Workspace.Gravity = 90
end
end)
My output keeps saying leaderstats is not a valid member of player

It looks like you may not be assigning Parent correctly. As far as I know it is case sensitive and you are attempting to assign parent with a lowercase p. docs This would need to be revised in lines 4 and 9 of the leaderstats script.
It also appears that line 6 of the leaderstats script would need to be revised to local cash = Instance.new("NumberValue") as the = operator was omitted.
The 'v' in Value in line 8 would also need to be capitalized.
The 'v's in all 'value' calls in the gravity script would also need to be capitalized.
Also it may be a good idea in the server event to use :WaitForChild() to verify that leaderstats is there.
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
