Creating 'fake' player instances

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

im trying to create fake player instances to fill out leaderboards on servers, to trick people into thinking NPCs are actually players.
however, when i try to create a player through "instance.new(“Player”) i get hit with
“The current thread cannot create ‘Player’ (lacking capability WritePlayer)”
i’ve also tried game.Players:CreateLocalPlayer() but i got the error
“The current thread cannot call ‘CreateLocalPlayer’ (lacking capability LocalUser)”

i dont even really know if its possible to make fake players, which is why im asking

You are going to have to either create and modify the pre-existing leaderboard gui (it’s probably on a public github somewhere) or code your own loaderboard.

roblox’s default leaderboard is locked behind CoreGui which you can’t access by normal means at all, so ill make a custom one

You can access the UI but not the code. Test play and copy paste the UI

#5

how do i access it then

let me post this please

#6

youll have to do some digging but make sure its enabled and it will be in coregui (client sided only ofc)

#7

i meant i literally cannot get coregui because its inaccessible without exploiting or being roblox

#8

CoreGui is completely accessible in Studio via the Explorer while play testing

PlayerList.rbxm (21.6 KB)

i have literally no idea how you did this, i looked for both “Playerlist” and “CoreGui” in the explorer when i playtested earlier and saw nothing

It can be found in FILE > Studio Settings > Scroll down to “Explorer” > Show Core GUI in Explorer while Playing
