Object Value not being set?
the Vehicle is an object value and I'm trying to set it to the cloned car, but it does not set. Wondering if I should make the value or script in a different location?
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
local VehicleCount = player.leaderstats.vehicle.Value
if VehicleCount then workspace:FindFirstChild(VehicleCount):Destroy() end
local car = game.ServerStorage.FordFocus:Clone()
local prompt = car.VehiclePrompt:WaitForChild("VehicleDriver")
prompt = player.Name
car.Parent = workspace
VehicleCount = workspace:FindFirstChild(car)
end)

You need to reference the ObjectValue itself, you can’t change the .Value of it when it is set to be a variable.
If you reference the value, then do local value = ObjectValue.Value, it is “stored” inside the variable, and any changes made to that variable (value = workspace) will not change the actual property, but only the variable itself.
(Sorry if this makes no sense, bad at explaining this.)
e.g.
local intValue = workspace.IntValue --set to be 1 local intValueValue = intValue.Value --this variable is currently 1 intValueValue = 2 intValue.Value = 0 print(intValueValue) --2 print(intValue.Value) --0
So your script should look something like this instead:
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
local VehicleCount = player.leaderstats.vehicle
if VehicleCount.Value then
workspace:FindFirstChild(VehicleCount.Value):Destroy()
end
local car = game.ServerStorage.FordFocus:Clone()
local prompt = car.VehiclePrompt:WaitForChild("VehicleDriver")
prompt = player.Name
car.Parent = workspace
VehicleCount.Value = workspace:FindFirstChild(car)
end)
