How can I make a 1st place system like arsenal? I have a timer, and when the timer ends, I would like the server to look through all the players (no matter which team they are on.) Also, a frame that shows all the players who got in 1st place, and then reward the 1st place winner. Where is the right tutorial? Because I can’t find one.

You can get a table of the players and use table.sort.
local standings = game.Players:GetPlayers()
table.sort(standings, function(a,b)
return a.Kills.Value > b.Kills.Value --change this to leaderstats.Kills, or whatever determines standings
end)
print(standings[1].Name.." got first place!")
print(standings[2].Name.." got second place!")
print(standings[3].Name.." got third place!")
Also, the print will error if there is no 2nd or 3rd place

attempt to index nil with ‘Name’ - Server - Test1stPlaceSystem:7
It gave me this error
I’m assuming you used this as the whole script itself. This isn’t meant to be a whole script, but a part of the script that will determine the rankings. You will need to put this into a function and return the standings when the function is called.
function getStandings()
local standings = game.Players:GetPlayers()
table.sort(standings, function(a,b)
return a.Kills.Value > b.Kills.Value --change this to leaderstats.Kills, or whatever determines standings
end)
return standings
end
--call function later on when needing to check standingsYes, thank you! I’ll code the rest of the round system, and I’ll let you know how it goes.
It works, thank you!!! but how can I make a UI that is cloned, and put into all the players, to show who got first place? I thought about putting the 1st place winner’s name on the UI, with their avatar as an image, and their total kills they got in the round. How can I do that?
The UI:
Here is the script btw that I want to clone:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Status = ReplicatedStorage.RoundStatus
local InRound = ReplicatedStorage.InRound
function getStandings()
local standings = game.Players:GetPlayers()
table.sort(standings, function(a,b)
return a.leaderstats.Kills.Value > b.leaderstats.Kills.Value --change this to leaderstats.Kills, or whatever determines standings
end)
print(standings[1].Name.." got first place!")
print(standings[2].Name.." got second place!")
print(standings[3].Name.." got third place!")
return standings
end
while true do
local timer = Status
local minutes = 1
local seconds = 0
repeat
if seconds <= 0 then
minutes = minutes - 1
seconds = 59
else
seconds = seconds - 1
end
if seconds < 10 then
timer.Value = tostring(minutes)..":0"..tostring(seconds)
else
timer.Value = tostring(minutes)..":"..tostring(seconds)
end
wait(1)
until minutes <= 0 and seconds <= 0
if minutes <= 0 and seconds <= 0 then
Status.Value = "End of Game!"
getStandings()
end
end

Have the server send the standings to the client for the client to show. You don’t need to clone the GUI, but instead leave it invisible while it’s not being used.
How can I get the player in the server?
you would loop through the players in the game like this:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Status = ReplicatedStorage.RoundStatus
local InRound = ReplicatedStorage.InRound
local SendStandings = --event to send the standings to client
function getStandings()
local standings = game.Players:GetPlayers()
table.sort(standings, function(a,b)
return a.leaderstats.Kills.Value > b.leaderstats.Kills.Value --change this to leaderstats.Kills, or whatever determines standings
end)
print(standings[1].Name.." got first place!")
print(standings[2].Name.." got second place!")
print(standings[3].Name.." got third place!")
return standings
end
while true do
local timer = Status
local minutes = 1
local seconds = 0
repeat
if seconds <= 0 then
minutes = minutes - 1
seconds = 59
else
seconds = seconds - 1
end
if seconds < 10 then
timer.Value = tostring(minutes)..":0"..tostring(seconds)
else
timer.Value = tostring(minutes)..":"..tostring(seconds)
end
wait(1)
until minutes <= 0 and seconds <= 0
if minutes <= 0 and seconds <= 0 then
Status.Value = "End of Game!"
local standings = getStandings()
for i,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPayers()) do
SendStandings:FireClient(plr, standings)
end
end
end
and on the client:
local GetStandings = --same as SendStandings on server script
GetStandings.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(standings)
print(standings) -- just to show that it works
--make GUI visible and show standings on GUI
end)
Also sorry for late reply

It’s not working. Here is my scripts:
Server Script Service Script:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Status = ReplicatedStorage.RoundStatus
local InRound = ReplicatedStorage.InRound
local SendStandings = ReplicatedStorage.WinnerUI
function getStandings()
local standings = game.Players:GetPlayers()
table.sort(standings, function(a,b)
return a.leaderstats.Kills.Value > b.leaderstats.Kills.Value --change this to leaderstats.Kills, or whatever determines standings
end)
print(standings[1].Name.." got first place!")
print(standings[2].Name.." got second place!")
print(standings[3].Name.." got third place!")
return standings
end
while true do
local timer = Status
local minutes = 1
local seconds = 0
repeat
if seconds <= 0 then
minutes = minutes - 1
seconds = 59
else
seconds = seconds - 1
end
if seconds < 10 then
timer.Value = tostring(minutes)..":0"..tostring(seconds)
else
timer.Value = tostring(minutes)..":"..tostring(seconds)
end
wait(1)
until minutes <= 0 and seconds <= 0
if minutes <= 0 and seconds <= 0 then
Status.Value = "End of Game!"
local standings = getStandings()
for i,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPayers()) do
SendStandings:FireClient(plr, standings)
end
end
end
Client Script in the Screen UI, which the screen UI is in the StarterGui:
game.ReplicatedStorage.WinnerUI.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(standings)
print(standings)
script.Parent.Enabled = true
script.Parent.Frame.ImageLabel = Enum.ThumbnailType.AvatarThumbnail
script.Parent.Frame.TheName.Text = standings.Name
script.Parent.Frame.TotalKills.Text = standings.leaderstats.Kills.Value
end)
The problem is that standings is a table, so you can’t just do standings.Name as it would be nil. Assuming you wanted to do the first place here, you would do this:
game.ReplicatedStorage.WinnerUI.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(standings)
print(standings)
script.Parent.Enabled = true
script.Parent.Frame.ImageLabel = Enum.ThumbnailType.AvatarThumbnail
script.Parent.Frame.TheName.Text = standings[1].Name
script.Parent.Frame.TotalKills.Text = standings[1].leaderstats.Kills.Value
end)It works now, thank you. How can I make the ImageLabel show an image of the player who got first place?
Sorry for the really late reply, but it would use :GetUserThumbnailAsync(). Here’s how it would look:
game.ReplicatedStorage.WinnerUI.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(standings)
print(standings)
script.Parent.Enabled = true
local content = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(standings[1].UserId, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420)
script.Parent.Frame.ImageLabel.Image = content
script.Parent.Frame.TheName.Text = standings[1].Name
script.Parent.Frame.TotalKills.Text = standings[1].leaderstats.Kills.Value
end)What would be the right size for a AvatarThumbnail?
Sry it took long to respond, I was busy.
I usually do 420x420 myself, but you can increase its size depending on the size of the image label you are using. So, it is up to you and whatever you think looks the best.
Ohhhh ok, thank you very much!
So it won’t work when another player joins.
Here is my Server Script:
wait(1.5)
-- Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
--// Varibles
local GetPlayers = #Players:GetPlayers()
local InRound = ReplicatedStorage.InRound
local RoundStatus = ReplicatedStorage.RoundStatus
local SendStandings = ReplicatedStorage.WinnerUI
while true do
InRound.Value = false
if GetPlayers < 3 then
print("Not Enough Players to start game.")
RoundStatus.Value = "Not enough players in server! Please wait till there is 3 players in the game."
repeat wait() until GetPlayers >= 3
print("Enough players")
RoundStatus.Value = "Ready to start Server!"
else
print("Enough players")
RoundStatus.Value = "Ready to start Server!"
end
function getStandings()
local standings = game.Players:GetPlayers()
table.sort(standings, function(a,b)
return a.RoundKills.Value > b.RoundKills.Value --change this to leaderstats.Kills, or whatever determines standings
end)
print(standings[1].Name.." got first place!")
print(standings[2].Name.." got second place!")
print(standings[3].Name.." got third place!")
for i,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
SendStandings:FireClient(plr, standings)
end
return standings
end
if RoundStatus.Value == "Ready to start Server!" then
RoundStatus.Value = "Intermission"
wait(30)
RoundStatus.Value = "Ready to start!"
wait(3)
InRound.Value = true
local timer = RoundStatus
local minutes = 3
local seconds = 0
repeat
game.ReplicatedStorage.InRound.Value = true
if seconds <= 0 then
minutes = minutes - 1
seconds = 59
else
seconds = seconds - 1
end
if seconds < 10 then
timer.Value = tostring(minutes)..":0"..tostring(seconds)
else
timer.Value = tostring(minutes)..":"..tostring(seconds)
end
wait(1)
until minutes <= 0 and seconds <= 0
if minutes <= 0 and seconds <= 0 then
RoundStatus.Value = "End of Game!"
local standings = getStandings()
wait(10)
InRound.Value = false
for i, v in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
v.RoundKills.Value = 0
end
end
end
end
Don’t reference the amount of players in the beginning of the script, either move the variable into the loop or just don’t use a variable for it.
wait(1.5)
-- Services
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
--// Varibles
local InRound = ReplicatedStorage.InRound
local RoundStatus = ReplicatedStorage.RoundStatus
local SendStandings = ReplicatedStorage.WinnerUI
while true do
InRound.Value = false
if #Players:GetPlayers() < 3 then
print("Not Enough Players to start game.")
RoundStatus.Value = "Not enough players in server! Please wait till there is 3 players in the game."
repeat wait() until #Players:GetPlayers() >= 3
print("Enough players")
RoundStatus.Value = "Ready to start Server!"
else
print("Enough players")
RoundStatus.Value = "Ready to start Server!"
end
function getStandings()
local standings = game.Players:GetPlayers()
table.sort(standings, function(a,b)
return a.RoundKills.Value > b.RoundKills.Value --change this to leaderstats.Kills, or whatever determines standings
end)
print(standings[1].Name.." got first place!")
print(standings[2].Name.." got second place!")
print(standings[3].Name.." got third place!")
SendStandings:FireAllClients(standings)
return standings
end
if RoundStatus.Value == "Ready to start Server!" then
RoundStatus.Value = "Intermission"
wait(30)
RoundStatus.Value = "Ready to start!"
wait(3)
InRound.Value = true
local timer = RoundStatus
local minutes = 3
local seconds = 0
repeat
game.ReplicatedStorage.InRound.Value = true
if seconds <= 0 then
minutes = minutes - 1
seconds = 59
else
seconds = seconds - 1
end
if seconds < 10 then
timer.Value = tostring(minutes)..":0"..tostring(seconds)
else
timer.Value = tostring(minutes)..":"..tostring(seconds)
end
wait(1)
until minutes <= 0 and seconds <= 0
if minutes <= 0 and seconds <= 0 then
RoundStatus.Value = "End of Game!"
local standings = getStandings()
wait(10)
InRound.Value = false
for i, v in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
v.RoundKills.Value = 0
end
end
end
end
Also instead of using FireClient in a loop, use FireAllClients.
