"leaderstats is not a valid member of PlayerGui" What does this mean?

Asked by

I have gotten better at scripting but i am still getting errors and this is one of them i do npt understand and cant solve.

I am trying to make a shop gui that upgrades your weapon but it doesn't seem to detect the leaderstats. I cant understand what the error means.

Heres the script

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local human = workspace:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    print("Humanoid Found!")
    local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
    print("Player Found!")
    if plr.leaderstats.Points.Value >= 24000 then
        print("checked")
        plr.leaderstats.Points.Value = plr.leaderstats.Points.Value - 24000
        script.Parent.Parent.Parent.old:Play()
        wait(1)
        script.Parent.Parent.Parent.olqa:Play()
        wait(6)
        script.Parent.Parent.Parent.olqa:Stop()
        script.Parent.Parent.Parent.buy:Play()
        game.ReplicatedStorage["PAP. Ray Gun"]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
    else
        script.Parent.Text = "Inefficient Funds"
        wait(2)
        script.Parent.Text = "BUY"
    end
end)

note: the script is a local script note2: the line thats specifically causing the problems is this

    if plr.leaderstats.Points.Value >= 24000 then

I just need a way to fix this error so that the script can work correctly

it happened because the Leaderstats is not the child of player gui. There should be another Parent on the plr variable. Here is a helpful video about the Server/Client Relationship and how GUI work on replicated clients.

Here you go the fixed script:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    local human = workspace:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    print("Humanoid Found!")
    local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
    print("Player Found!")
    if plr.leaderstats.Points.Value >= 24000 then
        print("checked")
        plr.leaderstats.Points.Value = plr.leaderstats.Points.Value - 24000
        script.Parent.Parent.Parent.old:Play()
        wait(1)
        script.Parent.Parent.Parent.olqa:Play()
        wait(6)
        script.Parent.Parent.Parent.olqa:Stop()
        script.Parent.Parent.Parent.buy:Play()
        game.ReplicatedStorage["PAP. Ray Gun"]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
    else
        script.Parent.Text = "Inefficient Funds"
        wait(2)
        script.Parent.Text = "BUY"
    end
end)

Uhh kinda messy script but I cant explain thta well but your doing it wrong and its a bad practice.

heres an example:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

    if leaderstats.Points.Value >= 24000 then
        -- enough
        print(leaderstats.Points.Value)
    else
        -- not enough
        print(leaderstats.Points.Value - 24000 .. " more points lol")
    end
end)

hope I helped :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
