Why doesn't my leaderboard function correctly?

Asked by

8 years ago

Here's the code it works for 1 player (assuming the topplr), but for some reason once I added the clean() function it just wont even display. I have 2 main problems, the leaderboard won't function correctly and it wont display at all when I want to clean it. It also doesn't want to update. There are no output errors, I checked and fixed them all.

02local board = workspace.Fencing.SurfaceGui
03local list = board.plrslist
04local plr = script.name
05local posy = 1

10        if v.Name == "name" then
11            v:Destroy()

17    clean()
18    for _,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
19        local plrr = plr:clone()
20        local ls = v:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
21        if topplr == nil then
22            topplr=v
23            plrr.Parent=list
24            plrr.Text=topplr.Name
25            plrr.wins.Text = ls.Wins.Value
26            plrr.spree.Text = ls.Spree.Value
27            plrr.rank.Text = "Starter"
28            plrr.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,1,0)

By 1 player I mean the first player that joins the game. Swordlust 15 — 8y

Try adding a delay in your while loop (e.g. while wait(10) do). The leaderboard is clearing itself right after it updates, which explains why nothing is showing. Spongocardo 1991 — 8y

it shows but it doesnt update the 2nd time meaning it shows the first time then it just doesnt want to work anymore Swordlust 15 — 8y
