Why isn't my sell script changing the leaderstats?
I'm trying to make a simulator game and I've started by making a sell pad that's supposed to trade your Breaths for Money (1:1 ratio). When I step on the sell pad, the money should be set to the breaths and the breaths should be set to 0. I added print statements in the function to troubleshoot so I know that the Touched event is working but the leaderstats aren't changing. I even printed the leaderstats to make sure that they weren't changing. Sell Platform Script:
local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if (game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent))
then
print("Touched by player!")
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
player.leaderstats.Money.Value = player.leaderstats.Breaths.Value
player.leaderstats.Breaths.Value = 0
end
end)
Leaderstats Script:
function playerJoin(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local breaths = Instance.new("IntValue")
breaths.Name = "Breaths"
breaths.Value = 0
breaths.Parent = leaderstats
local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
money.Name = 'Money'
money.Value = 0
money.Parent = leaderstats
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(playerJoin)

Here's the problem. You need to put both codes in the same script because what is defined as "leaderstats" are different from both else, you need to use RemoteEvent like what I did below. For more info about RemoteEvent, please check Roblox DevForum. I've reformatted the code for you. Please take some time to read and understand.
local RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local part = script.Parent
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) -- you can just do like this so everytime a player joins
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = Player
local breaths = Instance.new("IntValue")
breaths.Name = "Breaths"
breaths.Value = 0
breaths.Parent = leaderstats
local money = Instance.new("IntValue")
money.Name = 'Money'
money.Value = 0
money.Parent = leaderstats
part.Touched:Connect(function()
RemoteEvent:FireClient(Player)
end)
end
Please add another LocalScript at in StarterPack and delete the Sell Platform Script.
local RemoteEvent = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local part = script.Parent
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Touched = false -- Add a debounce so player don't spam
RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
if Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Right Leg") then -- I'm not sure if both HumanoidRootPart's and Torso's Legs are called "Right Leg" and "Left Leg". You can check them and change accordingly by testing in Studio > Workspace(When testing) > Your username > (Name of right leg and left leg)
if Touched == false then
Touched = true
print("Touched by player!")
local player = script.Parent.Parent
player.leaderstats.Money.Value = player.leaderstats.Breaths.Value
player.leaderstats.Breaths.Value = 0
Touched = false
end
elseif Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Left Leg") then
if Touched == false then
Touched = true
print("Touched by player!")
local player = script.Parent.Parent
player.leaderstats.Money.Value = player.leaderstats.Breaths.Value
player.leaderstats.Breaths.Value = 0
Touched = false
end
end
end)
