Then that's the problem. It must be a localscript, if you want to detect the leaderstats.Stage, except if you use RemoteEvents.

Can u use a localscript instead of an remoteevent

Yes you can. But that would cause some issues (example a script tried to call the GUI but its local).

You can only call :FireServer() from a localscript.

Your trying to get a localplayer from a script. Use :GetPlayerFromCharacter() and it should work.

Please make sure that this is located inside of a LocalScript!

I'm assuming you know how to define a part from inside of the workspace. So make a localscript inside of StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts

Inside of this script you can put the following code, Where it says "PARTNAME" on line one, put your part.

local Part = game:GetService("Workspace"):FindFirstChild("PARTNAME")
Part.Touched:Connect(function()
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	if player.leaderstats.Stage.Value <= 0 then
		player.PlayerGui.stage.stage1.Visible = true
	elseif player.leaderstats.Stage.Value >= 0 then
		game.Workspace.stage1door:Destroy()
	end
end)

If this helped you then please mark it as the solution!

Why is this not answered! Someone already said it must be a local script to find a localplayer!
