Hey yall, so I’ve been making a system that uses Teams. This system allows you to choose a color3 and icon for your team (like a clan system), and I wanted the icon and specific color (since teams use brickcolor as opposed to color3) to display on roblox’s built-in leaderboard ui. I’ve yet to find a way to edit the core leaderboard ui, since afaik, there isn’t a direct script in playergui that handles the leaderboard. I understand that a custom leaderboard might be the best direction to go for this system, but if I could somehow alter the default leaderboard, that’d make it significantly easier on me.
You would have to mess with the core scripts if it’s even possible. So it may be better in the long run to just go with something like this … gl
-- Put this LocalScript in StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
-- Create a custom leaderboard frame
local leaderboardFrame = Instance.new("Frame")
leaderboardFrame.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 300)
leaderboardFrame.Position = UDim2.new(0, 10, 0, 10)
leaderboardFrame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
leaderboardFrame.Parent = playerGui
-- Function to update leaderboard
local function updateLeaderboard()
-- Clear existing entries
for _, child in pairs(leaderboardFrame:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("TextLabel") then
child:Destroy()
end
end
-- Display team information
for _, team in pairs(Teams:GetTeams()) do
local teamEntry = Instance.new("TextLabel")
teamEntry.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 0, 30)
teamEntry.BackgroundColor3 = team.TeamColor.Color
teamEntry.Text = team.Name
teamEntry.Parent = leaderboardFrame
end
end
-- Update leaderboard when player joins
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(updateLeaderboard)
I know it’ll be easier to use a custom leaderboard, but I’d honestly wanna try messing with the core ui just for fun lol. I do appreciate the code suggestion though :]
It’s possible to extract the source code of the built-in leaderboard from Roblox Studio’s files (RobloxStudioPath\ExtraContent\scripts\CoreScripts\Modules\PlayerList). So if you know about Roact, CorePackages, UIBlox, etc, you could probably reverse engineer it to work without the CoreScript thread identity (Work with Local Scripts) and make all the changes you want. I’m not saying this would be easy, though.
yeah in that case, i’ll probably just make my own leaderboard. My only issue is that roblox has a navbar that lets you access leaderboard (its on the top left I believe), so how would I bind that button to my custom leaderboard? is there some sort of leaderboard toggle event that I could hook to my custom lb?
