Attempt a nil value help?
Workspace.Workspace:6: attempt to index a nil value
function script.UploadScore.OnServerInvoke(player)
local inv = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local score = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetOrderedDataStore("TopScores")
score:SetAsync(player.Name, inv:FindFirstChild("Points").Value) -- Line 6
end
This is the script. it's called Workspace for now. I don't know what part is a nil value

Apparently it cannot find the DataStore you are referring to, therefore score will become nil, and you cannot call :SetAsync() on a nil, or empty, value. juzzbyXfalcon 155 — 10y

"Indexing a nil value" occurs when you use . or : on a value that is nil.
Looking at your code, inv is definitely not nil (because it was gotten using WaitForChild, player is definitely not nil.
I believe that score should never be nil.
In this case, is probably accessing inv:FindFirstChild("Points"). That is, there will be an error if inv does not have a child named "Points".
To find out which part is the nil value, of course, you should do debugging yourself, and print out each of the values involved and make sure they are all predictable.
