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
I am using this script.
script.Parent.Parent.Products.Cash.Value = 0
Any ideas? Thanks
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? :(
Yes, when it's unequipped it's in your backpack. But once you equip it then it gets parented to your character(:

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
Thanks! But the tool is in the backpack? :)
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.
