Locate Player in a Server Script?
How do I locate a player in a Server Script, and get this to work?
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(player)
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Collect.MoneyValue.Value = 0
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text ="Money:"..script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.MoneyValue.Value
local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
stats.Money.Value = stats.Money.Value + script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.MoneyValue.Value
end)
0
Error is: HighValue 40 — 8y

I switched its order so its should work fine now. YOu kept changing the value to zero before anything could be done to it.
local collect = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Collect
local gui = script.Parent
script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(function(player)
local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
gui.TextLabel.Text = "Money: "..collect.MoneyValue.Value
stats.Money.Value = stats.Money.Value + collect.MoneyValue.Value
collect.MoneyValue.Value = 0
end)
To reference a player in server script (im not sure this is the best way but it works regardless)
wait(1)
for _,v in pairs (game.Players:GetChildren()) do
print(v.Name) --would print your name
end
