How do I add a amount displayed in a value to leaderstats?

There is a value that is displayed on a money printer.

That value is increased over time and the money is displayed every 3 seconds.

I want to add that value to Leaderstats value in the Local Player so they get more money upon clicking "Collect"

In a localscript in the "Collect" button, this is displayed but it does not function:

repeat wait() until game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local stats = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Value

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(player)
    stats = stats + script.Parent.Parent.Amount.Value.Value
end)

How do i grab the leaderstats in the local player and add whats in the value to the leaderboard?

You don't require to wait for the player, as the script'll fire when the player loads. (Not counting the player's Character, PlayerGui, Backpack, etc.) Could you please explain more in-depth about what you're trying to accomplish? TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 6y

Well you can’t do an adition with a NumberValue you have to do an addition of the NumberValues value. I suggest adding an extra .Value to local stats and see if that works. I am having trouble understanding your question so write back to me if this doesent work with a better explanation.

I do not fully understand what you mean. Leaderstats is a NumberValue in the Local Player. The value in the numbervalue is transferred to the leaderboard displaying how much money the player has. There's a NumberValue in the amount of money that's displayed on the printer. I want to add that amount in the number value to leaderstats. Foridex 46 — 6y

Badically you are multiplying something that you cannot multiply. When multyplying a value you do (Name Of Vale).Value FruitPuunch 0 — 6y
