Why cant my server script index the player's leaderstats?
1 | game.ReplicatedStorage["admin money"].OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,target,money) |
2 | --if player.PlayerGui.rank:FindFirstChild("admin gui") then |
3 | print(target) |
4 | target:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Money.Value = money |
5 | --end |
6 | end) |
ServerScriptService.admin:73: attempt to call method 'WaitForChild' (a nil value) without waitforchild i got ServerScriptService.admin:73: attempt to index local 'leaderstats' (a nil value)
prints: world_kiIIer
local script since it seems like to be needed (should not be needed)
1 | local player = script.Parent.Parent.player |
2 | local money = script.Parent.Parent.amount |
3 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
4 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do |
5 | if v.Name:match(player.Text) then |
6 | game.ReplicatedStorage["admin money"]:FireServer(v.Name,money.Text) |
7 | end |
8 | end |
9 | end) |

Why does it print world_killer? Is that he player's name or something? SmartNode 383 — 5y

yes its the player name, the money print can only be a number Gameplayer365247v2 1055 — 5y

What do you fire to the server? If target isn't a player object, you need to make it one. PhantomVisual 992 — 5y

target is a player object Gameplayer365247v2 1055 — 5y

v.Name is a string, not the player object... It's like doing: x = "hello" x:WaitForChild("leaderstats"). Make it a player object. PhantomVisual 992 — 5y

The target value is just the player's name, instead you should reference the player object:
1 | local player = script.Parent.Parent.player |
2 | local money = script.Parent.Parent.amount |
3 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
4 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do |
5 | if v.Name:match(player.Text) then |
6 | game.ReplicatedStorage["admin money"]:FireServer(v,money.Text) |
7 | end |
8 | end |
9 | end) |
Or something like this for the server-script, it simply finds any player with that specific name.
1 | game.ReplicatedStorage["admin money"].OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,target,money) |
2 | --if player.PlayerGui.rank:FindFirstChild("admin gui") then |
3 | print(target) |
4 | game.Players:FindFirstChild(target):WaitForChild("leaderstats").Money.Value = money |
5 | --end |
6 | end) |
