Attempt to index nil with 'WaitForChild' ?
Hello, im new to scripting and this is my first game im trying to make...
what im trying to achieve is when the player doesn't have enough money, the button stays red and if the player have enough money, the button turns green. FYI im making a tycoon game.
local tycoon = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local owner = tycoon.TycoonOwner.Value
local button = script.Parent.BuyButon
local function CanBuy(player)
local pStats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local money = pStats:FindFirstChild("Money")
if player then
if owner.Name == player.Name then
if money.Value >= script.Parent.Cost.Value then
button.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
else
button.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
end
end
end
end
while true do
CanBuy()
wait(0.5)
end

my guess: since you are firing the CanBuy function with a while true do, its going to run into an error maybe because it fires before the leaderboard actually loads. Just a guess though speedyfox66 237 — 3y

Player is not defined when firing function
local tycoon = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local owner = tycoon.TycoonOwner.Value
local button = script.Parent.BuyButon
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer -- define player at the beginning
local function CanBuy()
local pStats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local money = pStats:FindFirstChild("Money")
if player then
if owner.Name == player.Name then
if money.Value >= script.Parent.Cost.Value then
button.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright green")
else
button.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
end
end
end
end
while true do
CanBuy()
wait(0.5)
end
