Hello,

I am attempting to make a leaderboard Gui that updates when players come and go. So far I have the following script But the problem is that when players enter it does not show the player until the second player is added and when the second player leaves it does not update

What I need it to do is to update when players come in and when players leave but as of right now it will only start showing the players when the second player comes in and it WILL NOT update if the second player leaves the game. It will still show that there are 2 players even thought there is only 1

Thanks in advance for any help provided.


function update()
	local c = script.Parent:GetChildren()
	for i = 1,#c do
		if string.sub(c[i].Name, 1, 8) == "PlayerLabel" then
			c[i].Visible = false
		end
	end
	for i = 1,#plr do
	local item = script.Parent:findFirstChild("PlayerLabel" .. tostring(i))
	local item2 = script.Parent:findFirstChild("PlayerLabelNum" .. tostring(i))

		if (item~=nil) then
			item.Visible = true
			item2.Visible = true
			item.Text = plr[i].Name
		local Kills = plr[i].leaderstats.Kills
	       Kills.Changed:connect(function()
		   item2.Text = plr[i].leaderstats.Kills.Value
			end)
		end
	end
end

function getNumber(obj)
	for i = 1,#plr do
		if plr[i]==obj then
			return i
		end
	end
end

plr = {}
p = game.Players:GetChildren()

for i = 1,#p do
	table.insert(plr, p[i])
end

update()
game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(function (guy) table.insert(plr, guy) update() end)
game.Players.ChildRemoved:connect(function (guy) table.remove(plr, getNumber(guy)) update() end)

It's probably because by the time the script has detected that the player has left, all the player's data is gone, I suggest storing a single data value associated with the player (their name/id) in RS or SS, so when the player leaves the server can use that value and then delete it.

But Even if the players data is gone It shouldn't matter. I dont want it to show the players data anymore. I just want it to make it disappear off of the other players screens. So when a player leaves it gets rid of the name
