My localscript isn't recognizing leaderstats?
This script works in studio but not roblox itself, I don't know what's wrong?
01 | local button = script.Parent |
02 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function() |
03 |
04 | local purchases = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats1"):WaitForChild("Purchases2") |
05 |
06 |
07 | if purchases.Value == 3 then |
08 | print("MVP") |
09 | button.Visible = true |
10 | button.Parent:WaitForChild("MVP1"):WaitForChild("TextLabel").Visible = false |
11 | else |
12 | print("Bye") |
13 | button.Visible = false |
14 | end |
15 | end) |

try using game:GetService(Players') for every time you reference the Players in the game. Here's your copy of the script but edited:
01 | local button = script.Parent |
02 | game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function() |
03 |
04 | local purchases = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats1"):WaitForChild("Purchases2") |
05 |
06 |
07 | if purchases.Value == 3 then |
08 | print("MVP") |
09 | button.Visible = true |
10 | button.Parent:WaitForChild("MVP1"):WaitForChild("TextLabel").Visible = false |
11 | else |
12 | print("Bye") |
13 | button.Visible = false |
14 | end |
15 | end) |

This script shouldn’t have the “player added function”. Right now every time a player is added, it checks the local player’s stats, not that of the player who is being added. Instead, your script should say:
01 | local Players = game:GetService(“Players”) |
02 | local player = Players.LocalPlayer |
03 | local button = script.Parent |
04 |
05 | local purchases = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats1"):WaitForChild("Purchases2") |
06 |
07 | if purchases.Value == 3 then |
08 | print("MVP") |
09 | button.Visible = true |
10 | button.Parent:WaitForChild("MVP1"):WaitForChild("TextLabel").Visible = false |
11 | else |
12 | print("Bye") |
13 | button.Visible = false |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
Without having the player added function, the script will run when the player joins the game (or when the local script gets replicated which is usually pretty soon after), instead of it waiting until another player joins the game for it to run. Hope this helped!
