If my value is bigger than 0 then it's gonna run it. But it's not doing it why??

My local script:

--local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.Collect_Area
wait(0.3)
local hitbox = workspace.Collect_Coins_Area.HitBox_collect
local running = false
hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	--on touch
	if not running then running = true
	local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name
	local sound = workspace.Collect_Coins_Area.sound
	local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.Collect_Area
	local pi =  game.Players[plr]:FindFirstChild("leaderstats").Pieces
	if pi.Value >=0 then
		sound:Play()
	remote:FireServer()
	wait(5)
	running = false
end

try this:

wait(0.3)
local hitbox = workspace.Collect_Coins_Area.HitBox_collect
local running = false
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if not running then running = true end
	local sound = workspace.Collect_Coins_Area.sound
	local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.Collect_Area
	local pi = plr.leaderstats.Pieces.Value
	if pi > 0 then
		sound:Play()
	end
	remote:FireServer()
	wait(5)
	running = false
end)

edit: i don't know exactly what i did because it's been over 26d since i posted this so i don't really know how to explain the answer
