Good morning, everyone, So I'm making a tycoon and I want when I pass on the collector, to get the money back so I made this script:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then   
        game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value + script.Parent.Parent.Screen.amount.Value
    end 
end)

And when I run the script I get the following error: "attempt to index field'LocalPlayer' (a nil value)", I looked on other forums but nothing, I don't know what to do. Help me please

Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.

This should work:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
    local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) --  get the player from the character
    local Cash = Player.leaderstats.Cash
        Cash.Value = Cash.Value + script.Parent.Parent.Screen.amount.Value
    end 
end)

If it helped, remember to accept! :D

Thanks @AizakkuZ, I don't understand why I have "Screen is not a valid member of UnionOperation" now ?? Altair77100 6 — 5y

script.Parent.Parent.Screen.amount.Value is the cause as you put script.Parent.Parent try directly indexing it AizakkuZ 226 — 5y
