I need help with making a clickdetector play a script, Would us help me?
First of all, im really newbie with scripting, but im trying to learn, heck, i have used the studio more than i have been playing roblox for the last like... 5 weeks?
So, i want to make a script that changes the leaderstat of a player, i know how to subtract or/and add a leaderstat value after purchasing stuff by doing something like this:
--Note, this is just a recreation of the script, stuff may not be functional in roblox studio.
player = LocalPlayer
leaderboard = Waitforchild("leaderstats")
price = 10
if player.leaderboard.NameOfTheStat.value >= price.value --checks if the Leaderboard stat is the same or higher than "price"
player.leaderboard.NameOfTheStat.value = player.leaderboard.NameOfTheStat.value - price.value --Changes "nameofthestat" to be subtracted - 5 units.
player.leaderboard.AnotherNoNameStat.value = player.leaderboard.AnotherNoNameStat.value + 1 --Changes "anothernonamestat" to be added one unit.
--btw thanks roblox wiki
So, i wanna give use of that script inside a part with a clickdetector, but that when the part gets clicked it makes that script.
How can i make it?, and can it work with filtering enabled?, Because my game haves filtering enabled.

function onMouseClick(player)--this is the function and player is the player who clicked
local leaderboard = Waitforchild("leaderstats")
local price = 10
if player.leaderboard.NameOfTheStat.value >= price.value --checks if the Leaderboard stat is the same or higher than "price"
player.leaderboard.NameOfTheStat.Value = player.leaderboard.NameOfTheStat.Value - price --Changes "nameofthestat" to be subtracted - 10 units.
player.leaderboard.AnotherNoNameStat.Value = player.leaderboard.AnotherNoNameStat.Value + 1 --Changes "anothernonamestat" to be added one unit.
end
clickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick)--when a player clicks, run function onMouseClick

To first start, you could better run this from a script instead of a localscript ( assuming this because you're using localplayer) Then just insert a clickdetector and look at its event so you would have something like this
local clickdetector = Instance.New('ClickDetector')
clickdetector.Parent = script.Parent
--The event that fires when the clickdetector is clicked
clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
--Note, this is just a recreation of the script, stuff may not be functional in roblox studio.
player = LocalPlayer
leaderboard = plr:Waitforchild("leaderstats")
price = 10
if leaderboard.NameOfTheStat.value >= price.value then --checks if the Leaderboard stat is the same or higher than "price"
leaderboard.NameOfTheStat.value = player.leaderboard.NameOfTheStat.value - price.value --Changes "nameofthestat" to be subtracted - 5 units.
leaderboard.AnotherNoNameStat.value = leaderboard.AnotherNoNameStat.value + 1 --Changes "anothernonamestat" to be added one unit.

If you want to make it FE compatible and safer use something like this in a script.
local clickdetector = Instance.New('ClickDetector')
clickdetector.Parent = script.Parent
--The event that fires when the clickdetector is clicked
clickdetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
--Note, this is just a recreation of the script, stuff may not be functional in roblox studio.
player = plr
leaderboard = plr:Waitforchild("leaderstats")
price = 10
if leaderboard.NameOfTheStat.value >= price.value then --checks if the Leaderboard stat is the same or higher than "price"
leaderboard.NameOfTheStat.value = leaderboard.NameOfTheStat.value - price.value --Changes "nameofthestat" to be subtracted - 5 units.
leaderboard.AnotherNoNameStat.value = leaderboard.AnotherNoNameStat.value + 1 --Changes "anothernonamestat" to be added one unit.
end
end)
Here you are passing a Parameter in the function which is telling your script who the player is. so the server can handle this instead of the client
