Why won't my server message display the top survivors name?
Hello!
I am currently making a game that will display the TOP SURVIVORS name on the top of the screen, but it is not working .Here's what I have so far:
h = Instance.new("Hint")
h.Parent = game.Workspace
highscore = 0
highscorename = "Nobody"
while true do
wait(0.01)
local l = game.Players:children()
for i=1,#l do
local bounce = l[i].leaderstats:findFirstChild("Seconds")
if (bounce ~= nil) then
if (bounce.Value > highscore) then
highscore = bounce.Value
highscorename = l[i].leaderstats.Parent.Name
h.Text = "Server's longest survivor: "..highscore..", made by: "..highscorename.."!"
end
end
end
end
I know I am missing something. Any help would be appreciated, TY

One thing you can do is change your use of for i=1,#l and use `for i,v in pairs'
That would look something like this with your code:
local hint = Instance.new("Hint", workspace)
hint.Text = ""
Highscore = 0
PlayerWithScore = ""
while wait() do --This is better than while true do then wait(0.01)
local Plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i,v in pairs(Plrs) do
local ls = v:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local Secs = ls:WaitForChild("Seconds")
if Secs.Value > Highscore then
Highscore = Secs.Value
PlayerWithScore = v.Name
end
end
hint.Text = "Server's longest survivor: "..tostring(Highscore)..", made by: "..PlayerWithSocre.."!"
end
Try that out
