How and Why is the Value "Needs" not found in the Player when it is clearly there?

Asked 182 views1 answers

I am trying to access the value "Needs" in a regular script from the player like this.

local char = tool.Parent
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
local needs = player.Needs

Error in output: "Needs is not a valid member of Player"

Anybody know why this error keeps happening? I even tried to do a :WaitForChild() but it then says there's an infinite yield trying to find "Needs." Needs has been inputted into the player yet the server still cannot find it.

What is the script adding "Needs" to the member player?

It's not adding anything, "Needs" is the parent of multiple values. I'm trying to access needs so I can access the values in it but apparently it cannot find "Needs."

Include more detail, put in all of the lines of code in the script.

Are you using the leaderstats to be a localscript? You cannot do that as local can only be seen from the localside. Reply to this message with your response and I will redo this comment. Also please put your full script so we can check if its a lower script issue.
