Hello!
I'm trying to script a sword where it deals more damage based on a player's leaderstat. For example. I have a Power Value of 500. I want to divide that number by 100 and set it as damage.
Here's the script of the sword:
Tool = script.Parent
Handle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
Players = game:GetService("Players")
Debris = game:GetService("Debris")
RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
RbxUtility = LoadLibrary("RbxUtility")
Create = RbxUtility.Create
DamageValues = {
BaseDamage = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Power.Value / 12 ,
SlashDamage = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Power.Value / 10,
}
Damage = DamageValues.BaseDamage
BaseUrl = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id="
BasePart = Instance.new("Part")
BasePart.Shape = Enum.PartType.Block
BasePart.Material = Enum.Material.Plastic
BasePart.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
BasePart.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
BasePart.FormFactor = Enum.FormFactor.Custom
BasePart.Size = Vector3.new(0.2, 0.2, 0.2)

This is all in a regular script. The only error it gives me is this:
Players.4d0z.Backpack.Sword.Script:14: attempt to index field 'LocalPlayer' (a nil value)

If your script is
serverscriptthen that's why it can't get LocalPlayerShould I turn this into a localscript?
