Hi guys! I have a tool which is in the backpack. In the script in the tool, I try to change a value which is in the player but for some reason I get the error that "Products is not a valid member of Model"?! This is the hierarchy.

Player \/ (in the player are these...)

Backpack -Tool -Script in tool that changes the value

Products - Value I am trying to change called Cash

I am using this script.

script.Parent.Parent.Products.Cash.Value = 0

Any ideas? Thanks

When equipped tools go to the workspace so the parent is not the game player but the model of the player, all you need to do is go through game.players.[player name].Cash.Value to change the value User#5423 17 — 9y

Thanks! But the tool is in the backpack? :) jjwood1600 215 — 9y

The parent of the tool is changed when the player equipts the tool, you can see this happerning when you test the roblox project in solo mode. User#5423 17 — 9y

Your problem is that when you actually equip a tool it's parent becomes your character, rather than your player's backpack.

So to fix? Use a localscript in your tool and define the player as game.Players.LocalPlayer.

Example;

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
plr.Products.Cash.Value = 0

NOTE: Check to make sure you're indexing the correct areas! In a normal leaderboard setup then the hierarchy is;

Player

~ leaderstats

~ ~ Money

Thanks, but I checked in the explorer and the tool was in the players backpack though? :( jjwood1600 215 — 9y

Yes, when it's unequipped it's in your backpack. But once you equip it then it gets parented to your character(: Goulstem 8144 — 9y
