[Solved]"attempt to preform arithmetic on field 'Points'" What does this mean?
This question has been solved by the original poster.
Hello, I made a surfacegui shop and when you buy something, it connects to a remoteEvent that gives you the tool and takes away some points, but when I buy an item, my points count doesn't lower, and I get this in my output: ServerScriptService.Shop:14: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'Points' (a userdata value). Does anybody know what this means and how to fix this?
--- this is a script in ServerScriptService game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p) game.ReplicatedStorage.remoteEvent1.OnServerEvent:Connect(function() game.ReplicatedStorage["Item1"]:Clone().Parent = p.Backpack p.leaderstats.Points = p.leaderstats.Points - 25

You are trying to do math on a instance which is not possible. You need to access the Value held. p.leaderstats.Points.Vaue = ect... User#5423 17 — 5y

This is a common mistake for new users as well as using the default name of Value which would result as Value.Value User#5423 17 — 5y

Turns out I just made a dumb mistake and I forgot to put ".Value" in after "Points"
