How do I make a leaderboard that calculates the distance of each player from a specific point?
So what I'm trying to do is make a leaderboard that calculates the distance from the player to a certain point and displays the higher distance. So if I'm a user and I walk 100 paces from a point but then I walk 50 paces back towards the point, the leaderboard would still display 100. So far, I have this as my leaderboard script.
function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer) local stats = Instance.new("IntValue") stats.Name = "leaderstats" local c = Instance.new("IntValue") c.Name = "Distance"
spawn(function() while(true)do c.Value = print(onPlayerEntered():DistanceFromCharacter(Vector3.new(-208, 0.5, 1018))) end end)
c.Parent = stats stats.Parent = newPlayer
newPlayer.Changed:connect(function(property) end) end game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)
Can someone explain to me how to correctly make my leaderboard? Thank you.

Here, I wrote up a simple script:
local position = Wherever you want the point to be
local plrs = {}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Parent = plr
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local distanceValue = Instance.new("IntValue")
distanceValue.Parent = leaderstats
distanceValue.Name = "Distance (Studs)"
table.insert(plrs,plr)
end)
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()--Connects it to the Heartbeat, or after the physics render
for i = 1,#plrs do--Loops through all the current players
local plr = plrs[i]
if plr ~= nil then
local distanceValue = plr.leaderstats["Distance (Studs)"]
local distance = plr:DistanceFromCharacter(position)--Distance from point
if distance > distanceValue.Value then
distanceValue.Value = distance
end
else
table.remove(plrs,i)--Removes this from the plrs list
end
end
end)
