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.
script.Parent.Text = _G.points.Value.. " Points"
_G.points.Changed:connect(function()
script.Parent.Text = _G.points.Value.. " Points"
end)
Number 2 This script controls the points, and how you get them. I'm not sure what the error means.
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local keyName = 'GameRock'
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
local t = mouse.Target
if t and t.Name == keyName then
t:Destroy()
_G.points.Value = _G.points.Value + 100
end
end)
Here is the script to _G.points:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(nP)
_G.points = Instance.new("IntValue",workspace)
_G.points.Name = nP.Name.." Points"
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) -
script.Parent.Text = _G.points.Value.. " Points"
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local stat = plr.Points
stat.Changed:connect(function(change)
script.Parent.Text = tostring(change).." Points"
end)
Script 2(make it a localscript) -
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local points = plr.Points
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local keyName = 'GameRock'
mouse.Button1Down:connect(function()
local t = mouse.Target
if t and t.Name == keyName then
t:Destroy()
points.Value = points.Value + 100
end
end)
Script 3(make it a serverscript) -
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
local p = Instance.new('IntValue',plr)
p.Name = 'Points'
end)
