[SOLVED] Why is game not giving player cash every 5 seconds? (probably easy)
So I'm making a roleplay type game and I want it to give cash every 5 seconds but it isn't working. This is a script in the ServerScriptService. Here is the code
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
while true do
plr.leaderstats.Cash.value = plr.leaderstats.Cash.value + 5
wait(5)
end
If you know what is wrong send me the new code. leaderstats is a model not folder. The error is 16:37:15.276 - ServerScriptService.Script:5: attempt to index nil with 'leaderstats' Thanks!

You're trying to access the LocalPlayer through a ServerScript, this will return nil thus there is nothing to access from it, so what you should do is:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild('leaderstats')
while wait(5) do
leaderstats.Cash.Value = leaderstats.Cash.Value + 5
end
end)
Hopefully, this helps :)
Also, it seems like you are still learning the basics of scripting, so I suggest researching about LocalScripts and Scripts :)
