this is a global leaderboard script, it works if there's one of them but it doesn't when I have multiple. it gives me a error of "Unable to cast string to int64", and supposedly the error happens on line 38

Does that give you the player in object form and not string? Try players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(name).Name instead. I'm not sure if it'll work, but it's worth a shot. Happy_Liam 64 — 5y

Print out what name is and print out type(name) to see what datatype it is. rokedev 71 — 5y

I'd try what @insane_r said. Print out type(players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(name)). I'm assuming it's an IntValue as the error says Int64, but you can try it or do tostring(players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(name)) killerbrenden 1537 — 5y
