Why can't I go in my leaderstat folder?

I'm trying to make a tycoon game and I'm trying to change the money value inside the leaderstat folder. But I get errors saying "attempt nil with leaderstat" and I don't know why. Help appreciated.

More info, this is a normal script.

Dropper = workspace.Dropper

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    local Players = game:GetService("Players")
    if Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Money.Value >= 500 then
        Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Money.Value = Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Money.Value - 500
    else
        return
    end
    for _, v in ipairs(Dropper:GetChildren()) do
        if v:IsA("Part") then
            v.Transparency = 0
            v.CanCollide = true
        end
    end
    script.parent:Destroy()
end)

The LocalPlayer pointer of the Player's Service, refers to the Client's affiliated Player Instance. You're are using a Server-sided Script—it is run on the Server—which means the attributes familiar to a local environment will become foreign; the Server does not have a Player Object of its own, which is why 'LocalPlayer' returns nil.

Fortunately, with .MouseClick RBXScriptSignal of ClickDetector passes the Player that clicked the BasePart as an argument to your callback, you can use that. Ziffixture 6913 — 3y
