Error: Player attempt to index field LocalPlayer (A Nil Value)?
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local a = Instance.new("Folder",plr)
a.Name = "leaderstats"
local m = Instance.new("IntValue",a)
m.Value = 0
m.Name = "Cash"
local x = Instance.new("IntValue",a)
x.Value = 0
x.Name = "Bananas"
end)
while true do
wait(1)
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
if v:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") ~= nil then
if v.leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Bananas") ~= nil then
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value == 0
then
v.leaderstats.Bananas.Value = v.leaderstats.Bananas.Value else
v.leaderstats.Bananas.Value = v.leaderstats.Bananas.Value +10 end
end
end

Network Filtering
Network filtering, more commonly know as FilteringEnabled, or FE is the main cause of your problem here. As the server does not have a local player.
You can think of asking the server to get the local player as:
- asking a parent to get the local child
- asking a teacher to get the local student
Safe to say, it just creates a whole lot of confusion.
# What you can do
what you can do to avoid this is by using the players table you already have, instead of use the local player, like this:
lua
for _,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local ls = plr:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
if ls then
if not (ls.Cash.Value == 0) then
ls.Bananas.Value = ls.Bananas.Value + 10
end
end
end
# a couple of extra things
- do not use the 2nd parameter of Instance.new, as it will have a negative impact on performance, due to the way roblox handles property listeners
- Use
GetPlayers()instead ofGetChildren()to avoid getting non-player objects - For lines 35-47, you can simply do:
if not x then ..., rather than doingif x then else ... - For checking if a value isn't nil, you can do
if not x, rather thanif x ~= nil, assuming the value you are trying to get isn'tfalse, as both false and nil are falsey values
Hopefully this helped
