i want to show an amout of points on a label, and for some reason i get this error

Players.Medoozi.PlayerGui.InsertedObjects.Gradient.TextLabel.LocalScript:8: attempt to index nil with 'points i've checked and i havent misstyped anything...

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local number = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local leaderstats = Players:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")

while true do
    wait()
    number.Text = "Cash:"..leaderstats.points.Value.."$"
end
0
This might be silly, but when you instanced the points leaderstat, did you name it "points" Frometa1998 35 — 2y

On Line 4, you are trying to find the child named "leaderstats" inside the Players service. This will most definitely return nil because the instance you're trying to find is not a child of Players. Instead of "Players:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")", you should do "player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")".

Hope this works! if it works, mark it as an answer because it helps out everyone. If it didn't work, leave a comment and I'll try to find another solution.
