TYCOON WORK 0002: Script keeping saying a player isn't a player, Why???!
Hello. I am making a tycoon and I was making a button when I decided to test it. And to check the working of it, I decided to make some prints:
01 | model = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Factory.D1 |
02 | cost = 0 |
03 |
04 | local backup = model:Clone() |
05 | backup.Parent = game.ServerStorage.Objects |
06 | model:Destroy() |
07 |
08 | -- we only need what's below this line |
09 | script.Parent.Head.Touched:connect(function(h) |
10 | if h.Parent.Name == game.Players:FindFirstChild(h.Parent.Name) then |
11 | if h.Parent.Name == script.Parent.Parent.Parent.OwnerShipSystem.Owner.Value then |
12 | local playername = h.Parent.Name |
13 | if game.Players[playername].leaderstats.Money.Value >= cost then |
14 | game.Players[playername].leaderstats.Money.Value = game.Players[playername].leaderstats.Money.Value - cost |
15 | backup.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Factory |

if h.Parent.Name == game.Players:FindFirstChild(h.Parent.Name) then
You're comparing a string with an object!, hit.Parent.Name is a string and game.Players:FindFirstChild(h.Parent.Name) is going to be the player object. They will never match even if the player exists.
You should just check if game.Players:FindFistChild(h.Parent.Name) exists.
