Allow place owner to delete scores from the leaderboard

[vetexgames (vetex)]

So this guy lavavampire somehow exploited the points system in my game. He’s banned now, but his score is stuck there forever. Could there be a way to delete scores from the lederboard? Maybe like an X next to the number?

(omg this took so long to type, using the on-screen keyboard)

Run something like this in the server console:

userid = -- lavavampire userid

points = -- lavavampire points amount

game:GetService("PointsService"):AwardPoints(userid, -points)

Oh for crying out loud this syntax highlighting (sort of fixed)

Thanks a bunch!

<3 screw that guy in particular

Can players have negative points?

I agree, also nice thread Id 8)

Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub should allow you to make that easier;

local userId = 1 -- player UID
local pointsService = game:GetService("PointsService")

pointsService:AwardPoints(userId, -pointsService:GetGamePointBalance(userId))

I was going to post this but I got so frustrated since

@buildthomas

Oh for crying out loud this syntax highlighting

So I didn’t bother :S Wondering how you did it without the colours messing up

[digpoe]

Quite easy:

 ```[language name]
 <code block>

So, for example:

```text
 ```lua
 print("Hello, world!")

If you copy those and get spaces prefixing each line, remove them - they're not needed and I used them just to make sure that Markdown wouldn't get confused.

Of course that’s what you should be using but it has major bugs, see:

userid = -- lavavampire's userid
points = -- lavavampire's points amount
game:GetService("PointsService"):AwardPoints(userid, -points)

Versus not putting the quotes after “lavavampire”:

userid = -- lavavampires userid
points = -- lavavampires points amount
game:GetService("PointsService"):AwardPoints(userid, -points)

And there was some horrible other thing that went wrong when I tried to stick GetGamePointBalance in there, but whatever

[digpoe]

userid = --lavavampire's userid
print("test")

I don’t see what you mean?

EDIT: Oh actually, now I do. Apparently whatever they use for syntax highlighting after posting appears to ignore newlines.

You can also use tab indentation (or 4 spaces) for each line to signify that you’re providing code:

local a = 5
local x = a + 9
local y = x - 1

print("a:",a,"x",x,"y",y)

[digpoe]

The problem with using tab indentation is that you can’t specify the language.

When using the GitHub flavoured markdown approach, you can specify the language:

# this is python
print(1 // 2);

// this is C++
print(1 // 2); this is a comment - in both scenarios it would error

Copy paste my whole example somewhere, the preview will say the correct highlighting but once you post it it’s messed up. Meaning it is indeed a bug somewhere since it works fine in the preview.
