Why is this a 'nil value'? [closed]
Two errors:
Players.Player1.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Points.Text:2: attempt to index field 'points' (a nil value)
Players.Player1.PlayerGui.MouseScripts.MouseS:10: attempt to index field 'points' (a nil value)
Number 1 This script is supposed to change this TextLabel named 'Points' text to the number of points you have.
1 | script.Parent.Text = _G.points.Value.. " Points" |
2 |
3 | _G.points.Changed:connect(function() |
4 | script.Parent.Text = _G.points.Value.. " Points" |
5 | end) |
Number 2 This script controls the points, and how you get them. I'm not sure what the error means.
01 | local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse() |
02 | local keyName = 'GameRock' |
03 |
04 | mouse.Button1Down:connect(function() |
05 | local t = mouse.Target |
06 | if t and t.Name == keyName then |
07 | t:Destroy() |
08 | _G.points.Value = _G.points.Value + 100 |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
Here is the script to _G.points:
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(nP) |
2 | _G.points = Instance.new("IntValue",workspace) |
3 | _G.points.Name = nP.Name.." Points" |
4 | end) |

There are a couple problems with this
1) - When you set the 'points' value inside of the PlayerAdded event, then it is going to get overwritten every single time a player joins. Meaning it is going to be the points for whatever player joined last.
2) - Localscript _G tables, and serverscript _G tables differentiate from one another, so you can't use it in a localscript. And I know that in that second script it's a localscript because you can only access the client's mouse from a localscript.
So what you need to do is just have the points inside the player, I know this is probably why you were doing this silly _G stuff anyways because why else would you.. but it's just going to be easier and there's no reason not to.
Script 1(make it a localscript) -
1 | script.Parent.Text = _G.points.Value.. " Points" |
2 |
3 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
4 | local stat = plr.Points |
5 |
6 | stat.Changed:connect(function(change) |
7 | script.Parent.Text = tostring(change).." Points" |
8 | end) |
Script 2(make it a localscript) -
01 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local points = plr.Points |
03 | local mouse = plr:GetMouse() |
04 | local keyName = 'GameRock' |
05 |
06 | mouse.Button1Down:connect(function() |
07 | local t = mouse.Target |
08 | if t and t.Name == keyName then |
09 | t:Destroy() |
10 | points.Value = points.Value + 100 |
11 | end |
12 | end) |
Script 3(make it a serverscript) -
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
2 | local p = Instance.new('IntValue',plr) |
3 | p.Name = 'Points' |
4 | end) |
