Why does the value not rise by 1 every time I click on a particular part?
I have recently been making a game where I need to make the leaderstats to grow by 1 when a player clicks on a particular part. I have tried hard to make it work but I can't solve the problem. Can you help me? I will remember to accept a fulfilling answer
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local StartingMoney = 0
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local money = Instance.new("NumberValue")
money.Name = "Money"
money.Parent = leaderstats
money.Value = StartingMoney
game.Workspace.Part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
local pstats = game.Players[player.Name].leaderstats
pstats.Value = money + 1
end)
end)

Your problem is here:
local pstats = game.Players[player.Name].leaderstats
pstats.Value = money + 1
pstats is the Folder you made called "leaderstats", not the money value object. Additionally, you're trying to add 1 to "money" which is an Instance reference.
Because of how Lua upvalues work, you can just use the money reference you already have in your closure, by replacing the two lines above with:
money.Value = money.Value + 1
