How to change leaderstat from script?
I have a simple GUI with a button, which is supposed to increase a "cash" leaderstat by 5
cash = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
cash.Value = cash.Value + 5
end)
The script is not local.
However when run it doesn't change the value. Not really sure what to do when it comes to these sorts of errors, any suggestions?

You say the script is not Local. You can only use "LocalPlayer" in a LocalScript so that line doesn't work. And I don't know if only LocalScripts work in GUIs but I highly recommend it. So you have to change it to a LocalScript. But if you want the stats to change then it has to be a ServerScript that does it. Spjureeedd 385 — 4y

I can't answer right now, I can answer in like an hour, but I believe someone else will do it before then. But I do have an answer for your problem Spjureeedd 385 — 4y

What the person above says is correct, you would have to use a local script and then fire a remote event to a server script, which is where you will have to change the value. KroKey 0 — 4y

If you really want to use a Script instead of a LocalScript, you could as well do "Player = script.Parent.Parent.." until you reach the player. That's how I sometimes do it. Dylan011444 59 — 4y

Do not use scripts on the client. Look over this article to understand how the client-server model connects https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Roblox-Client-Server-Model ForeverBrown 356 — 4y

To start with, you have to create a RemoteEvent and place it in ReplicatedStorage. Name it what you want. We will use that in both our scripts. Then create a ServerScript in ServerScriptService. The script you have in your GuiButton has to be a LocalScript. This is the code we will write into the scripts:
LocalScript
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local remEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent -- Change this to the name of your RemoteEvent
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
remEvent:FireServer() -- Automatically, this function sends "player" as an argument, to tell the ServerScript which player who should get the money
end)
ServerScript
local remEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent -- Change this to the name of your RemoteEvent
remEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) -- The ServerScript receives the argument
local cash = player.leaderstats.Cash
cash.Value = cash.Value + 5
end)
I hope this helps you, good luck!

When using :FireServer() you do not have to send a player argument, it will do so automatically. The first parameter in the OnServerEvent event will always be the player(automatically). ForeverBrown 356 — 4y

@ForeverBrown I think that is only when you do :FireClient() Spjureeedd 385 — 4y

@ForeverBrown is right, first argument when using :FireServer() will always be player, FireClient() requires player to be sent but doesnt have it as argument when received by client as that player is actually the target. karlo_tr10 1233 — 4y

Also in your case when you sent player it would actually mess up other arguments if you had more than 1 as it would count player as second argument karlo_tr10 1233 — 4y
