After some testing, providing the 'Mappy' thing is an Valueinstance then you must use Value.Value By using just one Value you are only selecting the actual property and not the value of it. So basically, try changing the:

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.Mappy.Value == 1

to

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.Mappy.Value.Value == 1

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Not exactly related to answering your question, but you can make this more efficient. Instead of typing out:

elseif script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.Mappy.Value == ___ then

You can assign this 'route' to one word, or a phrase, so you don't have to keep typing it out, like so:

Maps = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.Mappy

Once you've done that, you can then do:

if Maps.Value.Value == ___ then

If this was unclear and want me to re-explain please do ask and of course, if it doesn't work do let me know
