Where is line 14 here? Perci1 4988 — 9y

for i = 0, 1, 0.06 do thats what line 14 is but it doesn't have anything about name RetroThieff 5 — 9y

I'm thinking its line 39 and under RetroThieff 5 — 9y

No, i mean, look at your original code and look for line 14. Then tell me the corresponding line number for this code, since they aren't lining up obviously. Perci1 4988 — 9y

Sorry I'm pretty new at scripting what do you mean original code? Isn't this the original code? I have no other scripts in the game. Please don't get mad at me. RetroThieff 5 — 9y

if this isn't a snippet of the script and it is the full script, that means we're getting the error from another script. HungryJaffer 1246 — 9y

Oh you know what I did make a leaderboard script thats the problem but I still don't know how to fix it. Should I replace the script up there with the leaderboard one? RetroThieff 5 — 9y

There we go I replaced it RetroThieff 5 — 9y

Line 14 is line 12 on this version. RetroThieff 5 — 9y
