Attempt to index nil with waitforchild on a npc?
Attempt to index nil with waitforchild on a npc and this is a reward script here's my code
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Leaderstat = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Humanoid = script.Parent.Humanoid
function Dead()
Player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = Player.leaderstats.Cash.Value + 100
wait(0.1)
script:remove()
end
Humanoid.Died:connect(Dead)

You said this was a server script, okay. So the problem is, you can't do game.Players.LocalPlayer on a server script. A workaround around this is the .PlayerAdded event, wich returns the player as an argument. Here is your script rewritten:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) -- this will be player instead of using LocalPlayer
local Leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Humanoid = script.Parent.Humanoid
function Dead()
Leaderstats.Cash.Value += 100 -- made some changes so its simpler
wait(0.1)
script:Destroy()
end
Humanoid.Died:Connect(Dead)
end)
