Why is my script not adding currency to the player that found the easter egg?

So i made a easter egg but if you found it i wanted to give the player coins. But I can't figure out how to do it. so I experimented a little bit but it dosen't seem to work :(

local player leaderstats.Coins.Value = Coins.Value + 10

btw i have a clickdetector before so i don't really need to specify which player clicked it.

edit whole cript

local debounce = false 
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
if debounce == false then debounce = true
script.Parent.Size = Vector3.new(3,3,3) else
debounce = false
script.Parent.Size = Vector3.new(4,4,4) debounce = true
            if debounce == true then debounce = false
            script.Parent.Sound:Play()
            game.StarterGui.EasterEgg1.EasterEggText.Visible = true
            wait(3)
            game.StarterGui.EasterEgg1.EasterEggText.Visible = false
            game.Workspace.Wut:Destroy()
        end
            end
               end)

and yes i'm bad at scripting xd

okay I'm unsure what this script is that you just posted?? "player" isn't localized in one area you put leaderstats.coins.value then in another you put coins.value i am very confused DesiredRep 75 — 5y

Make sure this is in a server script because of filtering enabled, and also, I noticed something weird, as DesiredRep said, for the first one, you specified that "Coins" was a child of "leaderstats", but the second time, you didn't. Knineteen19 307 — 5y

So try, "local player leaderstats.Coins.Value = leaderstats.Coins.Value + 10" instead. Knineteen19 307 — 5y

Based on your one line of code, I'll assume you're using a local script? You can actually do this in a server script.

Script

local debounce = true
local easteregg = workspace.EasterEgg

easteregg.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if debounce == false then return end
debounce = false
    local check = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if check ~= nil then
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        local Coins = player.leaderstats.Coins.Value
        player.leaderstats.Coins.Value = Coins + 10
        easteregg:Destroy()
    end
debounce = true
end)

You'll need to change the workspace.EasterEgg to whatever the name and location of the item is, and the event being fired if it's not a Touched Event. The debounce prevents the function from being played multiple times
