Why wont my sword script connect to the strength leaderstat and multiply against it to do damage?
This isn't my whole script but its the part that doesnt work
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
local stats = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local power = stats:WaitForChild("Strength")
local damage = power*1
local slash_damage = power*1
local lunge_damage = power*1.5

is "power" a value? KDarren12 705 — 5y

in that case, local power = stats:WaitForChild("Strength").Value KDarren12 705 — 5y

the object itself is not a value. KDarren12 705 — 5y

So your problem is just simple client/server boundary stuff. The server can't access the client, and the client can't access the server. So for this script you want to put it a local script. Here is an example on how I would modify it to make it work.
-- LocalScript
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local stats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local power = stats:WaitForChild("Strength")
local damage = power*1
local slash_damage = power*1
local lunge_damage = power*1.5
