Hello, I have made a shop system which uses a currency known as skill points. For some reason, when I do a server test outside of game the script works fine, however when I actually play the game it gives me a nil value for the function that takes away skill points after a purchase.

event.OnServerEvent:connect(function (player, ...)
	if player ~= nil then
		local tuple = {...}
		if tuple[1] == "Buy" then
			if tuple[2] == "KillerChance" then
				local mydata = playerdata[player.userId]
				if mydata ~= nil and mydata.skillpoints >= 5 then
					local price = -5
					awardskillpoints(player, price)
					mydata.killerchance = mydata.killerchance + 1
					local killerchancevalue = player:WaitForChild("Killer Chance")
					if killerchancevalue ~= nil then
						killerchancevalue.Value = mydata.killerchance
					end
				end
			elseif tuple[2] == "OfficerChance" then
				local mydata = playerdata[player.userId]
				if mydata ~= nil and mydata.skillpoints >= 5 then
					local price = -5
					awardskillpoints(player, price)
					mydata.officerchance = mydata.officerchance + 1
					local officerchancevalue = player:WaitForChild("Officer Chance")
					if officerchancevalue ~= nil then
						officerchancevalue.Value = mydata.officerchance
					end
				end
			elseif tuple[2] == "100Points" then
				
			end
		end
	end
end)

where it says awards skillpoints, it gives me a nil when actually in the game.

It says awarskillpoints is a nil or something like that.

here is the function

function awardskillpoints(player, skillpoints)
	if player ~= nil and skillpoints ~= nil and skillpointdebounce == false then
		skillpointdebounce = true
		local mydata = playerdata[player.userId]
		if mydata ~= nil then
			mydata.skillpoints = mydata.skillpoints + skillpoints
			local skillpointsvalue = player:WaitForChild("Skill Points")
			if skillpointsvalue ~= nil then
				skillpointsvalue.Value = mydata.skillpoints
				delay(0.00000000000000000000001, function ()
					skillpointdebounce = false
			end)
		end
	end
	end
end
end

I'm not sure what could possibly be wrong. Please help.

Thank you in advance.
