local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
game.Players[player.Name].LeaderStats.EXP.Value = game.Players[player.Name].LeaderStats.EXP.Value + 1
end)
I get this error: attempt to index local 'player' (a nil value)
Help? thanks!
Regular Scripts can't access LocalPlayer
My best guess here is that player is nil literally because you're using a regular Script and you're trying to access LocalPlayer. I'd recommend either using RemoteEvents and a LocalScript, or finding another way of working out who the player for the event is.
In addition to this answer, why go through the whole process of going through game.Players if you have a direct access to the LocalPlayer via the variable?
I was going to mention it but I figured that this guy isn't really at that point of using his brain.

Also to build off of what eLunate said, leaderstats have to be all lowercase to work.
no, it is a custom made leaderboard, so I made a model named "LeaderStats" in the player to hold values to update the custom leaderboard and used a DataStore to save those values
