How to fix server side damage script?
Im trying to make it so when you punch you deal damage, i have the local script i just need help with the server script to send the damage to the server but i have no idea on what im doing.
1 | local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") |
2 | local Punch = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Punch") |
3 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
4 | local str = player.leaderstats.strength |
5 |
6 | Punch.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) |
7 | player.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(str) |
8 | end) |
This is what i have so far, im getting the error "attempt to index nil with 'leaderstats' i want to make it so the more strength you have that's the amount of damage you do so if u earned 100 strength you do 100 damage, etc.

i can't really help with the index nil with leaderstats thing but i do think i see something else, on local str = player.leaderstats.strength you should add .Value to the end of it so it can be assigned to the value of strength and not just the variable strength yasquerda 32 — 4y

If the script you put is the server script, you can't access LocalPlayer from a serverside script. Has to be called from a local script only. Alternative way of getting the player is game.PlayerAdded

You should insert the "OnServerEvent" function inside the "PlayerAdded" function as well Omq_ItzJasmin 666 — 4y
