Why does this error "attempt to index a nil value"?
Can anyone tell me why output gives the error attempt to index a nil value(in the script for when it's fired)? The purpose of the script is to change someone to a team color and respawn them when they have a certain amount of deaths, but it isn't working.
Code to fire it(in a LocalScript, in StarterPack):
-- Variables
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Stats = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
if Stats["Deaths"].Value == 3 then
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer)
end
script:Destroy()
Code for when it's fired(in a ServerScript, in ServerScriptService.(this is the one that is erroring)):
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(Player)
game.Players:FindFirstChild(Player).TeamColor = game.Teams.TestTeam.TeamColor
game.Players:FindFirstChild(Player):LoadCharacter()
end)
Any help appreciated.

Try this. I also connected it to an event.
In a LocalScript:
-- Variables
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Stats = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Deaths = Stats:WaitForChild("Deaths")
Deaths.Changed:connect(function (v)
if v == 3 then
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer() -- you didn't need the argument here. FireServer() automatically provides the player as one of its arguments.
script:Destroy() -- this should probably be inside the if-statement
end
end)
In a Script:
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(Player)
Player.TeamColor = game.Teams.TestTeam.TeamColor
Player:LoadCharacter()
end)
Where is the LocalScript located? If it's not already in game:GetService("StarterPlayer"):WaitForChild("StarterPlayerScripts"), then it should.
