1Player = game.Players:GetPlayers()

3Player.leaderstats[Currency].Value = Player.leaderstats[Currency].Value + 30

Yet That the code can anyone help me this make me so confusing for this whole day god damn it.

Is the player variable wrong ?

Btw the error message is

`1`	`23:32:53.333` `- Workspace.Grass.Script:80: attempt to index field` `'leaderstats'` `(a` `nil` `value)`

When you press play, or test a local server, does your player or do the players have an object called "leaderstats" in them? Cvieyra2test 176 — 6y

I'll assume you have the leaderstats already set up, but if you don't, I have attached a link at the bottom of this answer that will help you do that.

1Player = game.Players:GetPlayers()
2 
3Player.leaderstats[Currency].Value = Player.leaderstats[Currency].Value + 30

The problem here is that the variable "Player" is referring to a table of players, which is what :GetPlayers() returns. It then tries to search that table for a value "leaderstats," but does not find it. In order to change each player's stats, you'll have to loop through the table of players. Here is a solution that will add to each player's stat.

1local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
2 
3for i = 1, #Players do -- this will loop through each value(players) in Players
4    Players[i].leaderstats[Currency].Value = Player[i].leaderstats[Currency].Value + 30
5end

If you want to give stats to a specific player:

1local Player = game.Players.PlayerNameHere
2 
3Player.leaderstats[Currency].Value = Player.leaderstats[Currency].Value + 30

Here are some resources on loops and creating leaderstats: https://developer.roblox.com/articles/Roblox-Coding-Basics-Loops https://developer.roblox.com/articles/Leaderboards

How can I give it to a localplayer? AustinTan0615 2 — 6y
