attempt to index nil to 'Name' can you help me? Its for a weight lifting simulator.
I'm very new to coding and I'm very confused on why my code wont work. In the output section it says attempt to index nil to 'Name' can someone just make something can just copy and paste in please? Here is the code:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteData =game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteData") local starterRebirthAmount = 5000
local cooldown = 1
replicatedStorage.Remotes.Lift.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
if not remoteData:FindFirstChild(player.Name) then return "NoFolder" end
local debounce = remoteData[player.Name].Debounce
if not debounce.Value then
debounce.Value = true
player.leaderstats.Strength.Value = player.leaderstats.Strength.Value + 10 * (player.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value + 1)
wait(cooldown)
debounce.Value = false
end
end)
replicatedStorage.Remotes.Rebirth.OnServerInvoke = function()
if not remoteData:FindFirstChild(player.Name) then return "NoFolder" end
local rebirths = player.leaderstats.Rebirths
if player.leaderstats.Strength.Value >= (math.floor((starterRebirthAmount + (rebirths.Value * math.sqrt(5000000))))) then
rebirths.Value = rebirths.Value + 1
player.leaderstats.Strength.Value = 0
player:LoadCharacter()
return true
else return "NotEnoughStrength"
end
end

The problem I see in most ServerScripts is that people do not know when to use the LocalPlayer instance. You can only use them in local scripts, which are on the client side. I'm assuming you are using a ServerScript.
How you could get a player, is that using the PlayerAdded event to your advantage.
Here is an example:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) --player parameter used here --put code here end)
You can replace your player variable with the parameter, and there you have your answer!
