How to reference leaderstats in another script?

[molten kernel]

Leaderstats is in game.Players.(playernameidk).leaderstats

If i try wait for child it just says attempt to index nil w :waitforchild

[hexed basin]

In a local script?

@molten kernel

[molten kernel]

no it’s inside of a click detector, which is inside a part that was spawned in using :clone, i’ll send a pic one sec

regular script

[hexed basin]

Ok

[thorny garden]

game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leader")

[hexed basin]

It’s not a local script

[molten kernel]

but i cant use

yeah

[hexed basin]

Show me the script for click detector

[molten kernel]

should i just use a local script?

ok

[thorny garden]

click detector has as player parameter

[hexed basin]

That would only affect one player and the leaderstats would not save

Or change on the server

[molten kernel]

all i have, i’ve tried using :waitforchild(“leaderstats”):waitforchild(“points”).Value

but it did not work, same error

[hexed basin]

Ok

Inside function()

Type player

[molten kernel]

alright

[hexed basin]

Now just try print(player.Name) inside function

[molten kernel]

it printed my name correctly

[hexed basin]

Ok

Now

Just local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild(“leaderstats”)

local Points = leaderstats:WaitForChild(“Points”)

print(Points.Value)

Should work

[molten kernel]

finally

@hexed basin thank you sm, kinda dumb question but saved me a lot of time

[hexed basin]
