Attempt to index local 'player' a nil value?
Alright so I made a gun buying GUI for a street dealer and it won't buy the gun or take the money away due to the error aforesaid in the title.
01 | local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer |
02 | local money = player:WaitForChild("Money") |
03 |
04 | function BuyAK() |
05 | if money.Value >= 125 then |
06 | money.Value = money.Value - 125 |
07 | local AK47 = game.ServerStorage.AK47:clone() |
08 | AK47.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Backpack |
09 | script.Parent.Text = "Gun Purchased" |
10 | wait(5) |
11 | script.Parent.Text = "Buy AK-47" |
12 | else |
13 | script.Parent.Text = "Purchase Failed" |
14 | wait(5) |
15 | script.Parent.Text = "Buy AK-47" |
16 | end |
17 | end |
18 |
19 |
20 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(BuyAK()) |

Right, so what I think is happening is the script is being executed before the LocalPlayer property is loaded. To fix it just wait for LocalPlayer to be occupied, put this at the start of your script:
1 | repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer~=nil |

Most of the time this error is generated because the Asker is using a Server Script rather than a Local Script for LocalPlayer. M39a9am3R 3210 — 8y

Good point, didn't consider he could be using the wrong script type. IntegerUnderflow 25 — 8y
