Why can't I change a variable from a different script?
I tried making a currency and a minigame and what is supposed to happen is that if you get first, you would get that currency, but it never works.
local w = game.ServerScriptService.v:FindFirstChild(Wins)
local p = 0
if workspace.Parkour.PWalls.Winplat.Touched:Connect(FindFirstChild("Humanoid")) and p < 1 then
w = w + 1
p = p + 1
else
p = p + 1
end
If anyone could help me, that would be great.

Access the value, not the int itself. When using FindFirstChild the correct syntax is (" "), since you're searching for a name.
local w = game.ServerScriptService.v:FindFirstChild("Wins")
local p = 0
if workspace.Parkour.PWalls.Winplat.Touched:Connect(FindFirstChild("Humanoid")) and p < 1 then
w.Value = w.Value + 1
p = p + 1
else
p = p + 1
end
I think this is what you want though, the if statement will only run once, if you put it into a touched function it will watch for the touch.
local w = game.ServerScriptService.v:FindFirstChild("Wins")
local t = FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local p = 0
workspace.Parkour.PWalls.Winplat.Touched:Connect(function(t)
if p < 1 then
w.Value = w.Value + 1
p = p + 1
else
p = p + 1
end
end)

You forgot to say that he didn't change Wins into "Wins" Overscores 381 — 5y
