Can anyone help me with this script for a custom leaderboard?

Asked 373 views1 answers

If you noticed my last question, this is what I was asking it for, but I seem to have ran into a brick wall and I would like to find a way to climb it. So here is what I had made so far... It is in a local script.

local plr=game.Players.LocalPlayer
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(np)
	game.StarterGui.SetCoreGuiEnabled("All", false)
	for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren())do
		GUI=game.ServerStorage.File:Clone()
		plr.PlayerGui.LS.BG:ClearAllChildren()
		GUI.Parent=plr.PlayerGui.LS.BG
		GUI.Position=UDim2.new(1, -200, 0, 20*(i-1))
		GUI.Text=player.Name
	end
end)

Any idea what is wrong?

There are two problems here.

First, ServerStorage isn't replicated to the client. In simple terms, you can't use ServerStorage with a local script, so instead use ReplicatedStorage.

And Second, this only runs when a player is added to the game (not including the local player). You should instead make that anonymous function a normal function (with a name and all) and use that for the event, as well as call it once for setup.

Hmm, it didn't seem to work yet, if it might help the local script was in a screen gui in the starter gui. I removed the PlayerAdded event and it's assosiated end, along with moving the textlabel into replicatedstorage. Any other words of advice?

It seems I was wrong, you would need the PlayerAdded event, but use it differently. I've updated my answer for you.
