{FIXED} Why is my script not working?
My script is meant to allow players to convert their cash into player points... However I have tried and tried but it never works, could anyone please fix this! This is what I have so far but I can't read the output very well and make sense of it:
points = game:GetService("PointsService")
awardable = points:GetAwardablePoints()
ammount = 10
function onClicked(p)
if awardable >= ammount then
if p.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= 50000 then
p.leaderstats.Cash.Value = p.leaderstats.Cash.Value - 50000
game:GetService("PointsService"):AwardPoints(p.userId,ammount)
end
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked)
THE SCRIPT IS IN A TEXT BUTTON IF YOU NEED TO KNOW

First of all, make sure the script is a regular script rather than a local script. Local scripts are not allowed to award points. Also, the player is not passed as an argument in mouse click events. Here's how you could do it.
points = game:GetService("PointsService")
awardable = points:GetAwardablePoints()
ammount = 10
local p = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
--This while loop goes up the object hierarchy until it reaches the player.
while (not p:IsA("Player")) do
p = p.Parent
end
function onClicked()
if awardable >= ammount then
if p:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") and p.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= 50000 then
p.leaderstats.Cash.Value = p.leaderstats.Cash.Value - 50000
game:GetService("PointsService"):AwardPoints(p.userId,ammount)
end
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked)

I didn't type that up, I used parts of other script to form this one. However thanks for pointing that out I didn't notice! General_Scripter 425 — 9y
