attempt to index field 'LocalPlayer' (a nil value)

Question

i have been trying to fix this problem in my game: "attempt to index field 'LocalPlayer' (a nil value)"

but nothing i tried to do worked here is the code:

please do not mind the extremely un-efficient lines of code

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
    print("yeet")
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.PuzzlePieces.Value = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.PuzzlePieces.Value + 1
end)

and this is the error message i get:

attempt to index field 'LocalPlayer' (a nil value)

LocalPlayer can only be used in localscripts, and if you are changing leaderstats, you would need to use remotefunctions if your using the localplayer way, or you could use a script and then detect is a player dies and give them a leaderstat value.

PS. If your into roblox I very well recommand https://scriptinghelpers.org/, it is a great roblox scripting Q&A.
