I'll give you understanding of what the error attempt to index ... with ... means. Indexing means that you are trying to get some property of an instance, say Color property of Part, in code it looks like this:

local color = Part.Color

^^^ Here I indexed Part with Color

This code ran without issues, but what if I try to index something that's not instance, say nil (non-existent value)...

local part = Workspace:FindFirstChid("Part") -- The part does not exist, I deleted it in Studio

local color = part.Color
-- the line above equal to the line below
local color = nil.Color

This would give an error saying attempt to index nil with Color because Part is nil. In your case the property is Value and the thing you are indexing is not an instance but a boolean, boolean is true or false:

local InRound = true

InRound.Value = false

This gives attempt to index boolean with Value error. The most likely cause of it is that when you created the variable InRound, you wrote this:

local InRound = ReplicatedStorage.InRound.Value
--- ^^^ InRound is a boolean, true or false, not an instance, it does not
-- have the Value property, boolean can only be in code, not in Explorer

Instead of this:

local InRound = ReplicatedStorage.InRound
--- ^^^ InRound is BooleanValue, Instance which can hold many properties
-- and one of them is Value which holds a boolean, true or false

You did not send the part where you create the variable, but seek for similar problem as above or send picture of it.

I wrote the variable as game.ReplicatedStorage.InRound, also, i added my code to the question so you can take a look, thanks. joystuuu 7 — 2y

see lines 67 and 85, you replaced the original BooleanValue with a boolean, you can come up with the solution yourself but just in case... InRound.Value = ... imKirda 4491 — 2y
