I can't fix this?!?

Asked by 9 years ago

So its a tycoon. and this is the collector brick that removes the block and gives you money

01``script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
02    local N = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Owner.Value
03    local P = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(N)
04     if P:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") ~= nil then
05    local Mon = P.leaderstats.Cash.Value
06        if hit.Name == "Tril" then
07            Mon = Mon + 10
08        elseif hit.Name == "TriU" then
09            Mon = Mon + 20
10        end
11    else
12        print("Leaderstats is not there.")
13 
14    end
15end)
16``

but it keeps giving me this error: Unable to cast value to Object

and i have a StringValue 3Parents up that contains the players name when he buys the tycoon.

Try this:

01script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
02    local N = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Owner.Value
03    local P = game.Players:FindFirstChild(N) --Changed this line
04    if P:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") ~= nil then
05        local Mon = P.leaderstats.Cash.Value
06        if hit.Name == "Tril" then
07            Mon = Mon + 10
08        elseif hit.Name == "TriU" then
09            Mon = Mon + 20
10        end
11    else
12        print("Leaderstats is not there.")
13    end
14end)

The problem was that you were trying to define the player as a string, which you can't do. You need to have the script search through the players with the string, and connect it to the Players name. Anyways, I believe this should work now. If you have any further problems or questions, please leave a comment below. Hope I helped :P

xD, not a big deal. I make simple mistakes like this all the time. Just make sure to look over your script carefully and make sure everything makes sense how it is. Glad I could help though :P dyler3 1510 — 9y
