Why is my leaderstats script is saying there is a nil value?
I have made a script that I think should show the players speed in the leaderstats. But the script does not even work. The error is: "ServerScriptService.Script:3: attempt to call a nil value" Here's they script:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.New("Folder",player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local Speed = Instance.New("IntValue", leaderstats)
Speed.Name = leaderstats
while true do
wait()
Speed = player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed
end
end)
I hope you can help! I should see it soon if you post an answer in the next 2 hours so please leave one!

There are so many errors in this script. In line 3 and 6, always use Instance.new() not Instance.New(). In line 7 you're naming an IntValue an instance instead of a string (string is a group of words inside two quotation marks; they usually appear green when coding), which will cause errors. And lastly, in line 11, you're trying to change an instance into a number, which will cause AN ERROR. Instead, use Speed.Value.
This is the fixed script:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local Speed = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
Speed.Name = "Speed"
while true do
task.wait()
Speed.Value = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid").WalkSpeed
end
end)
Hopefully this script works!
If you feel discouraged while reading my answer, don't be. I'm not mad, I'm helping you with your script. I understand you're new to scripting and that's fine. I hope you will get better and have a nice day!

This is my leaderstats script you should be able to work your variables into this
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function (plr)
local stats = Instance.new("BoolValue",plr)
stats.Name = "leaderstats"
local cash = Instance.new("IntValue",stats)
cash.Name = "Credits"
cash.Value = 500
end)
I think your issue is Line 7 when your giving Speed the name of leaderstats. also Speed is the name of the currency or stat so you wouldent want speed to = player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed
it should be Speed.Value = player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed
Im newer to scripting but I hope this helps you out!
