How do I get this script to update my custom leaderboard to work?
I created a custom leaderboard for my game, but the problem is that the textlabel will not update the text based on the money of the other players. The script is a local script inside of the GUI.
01 | local REP = game.ReplicatedStorage |
02 | local PLAYER = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
03 |
04 | repeat wait() until PLAYER:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui") |
05 |
06 | local FRAME = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ScrollingFrame",3) |
07 | local FC = FRAME:GetChildren() |
08 |
09 | while wait() do |
10 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do |
11 | print(v.Name.." has "..REP.PlayerValues:WaitForChild(v.Name,2).GameValues.TotalMoney.Value.." money.") -- This does correctly print their money |
12 | print(FC[i].Text) -- This does print the name of the player |
13 | if FC[i].Text == tostring(v) then -- Error most likely has to do with this |
14 | FC[i].TextLabel.Text = "$"..REP.PlayerValues[v.Name].GameValues.TotalMoney.Value |
15 | -- Nothing ever happens with this. It is meant to be a textlabel inside of another textlabel and that is not the problem. |
16 | end |
17 | end |
18 | end |

Check to see if the object WaitForChild is looking for has actually been found, because it stops your code until it has found said object. Also look at your output, as it shows errors in your code. TheDeadlyPanther 2460 — 8y

I edited the script to account for that. It still only updates the money value for the current person, not any others in the game. The output doesn't show any errors. RockerCaleb1234 282 — 8y

Your problem is in line 13. You are trying to call tostring on an object
v in i,v is the player in Players. I think you are trying to call v.Name
Revised script:
01 | local REP = game.ReplicatedStorage |
02 | local PLAYER = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
03 |
04 | repeat wait() until PLAYER:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui") |
05 |
06 | local FRAME = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ScrollingFrame") |
07 | local FC = FRAME:GetChildren() |
08 |
09 | while wait() do |
10 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do |
11 | print(v.Name.." has "..REP.PlayerValues:WaitForChild(v.Name).GameValues.TotalMoney.Value.." money.") -- This does correctly print their money |
12 | print(FC[i].Text) -- This does print the name of the player |
13 | if FC[i].Text == tostring(v.Name) then -- Error most likely has to do with this |
14 | FC[i].TextLabel.Text = "$"..REP.PlayerValues[v.Name].GameValues.TotalMoney.Value |
15 | -- Nothing ever happens with this. It is meant to be a textlabel inside of another textlabel and that is not the problem. |
16 | end |
17 | end |
18 | end |

tostring(v.Name) seems a bit redundant... EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 8y

tostring(object) returns the object's name, although object.Name can be more fool proof (in turns of what it returns, not errors) TheDeadlyPanther 2460 — 8y

Yet, I still don't know why the script doesn't work. RockerCaleb1234 282 — 8y
