Custom Leaderboard Displaying All Player Stats

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey there!
I am trying to make a custom leaderboard gui that displays the leaderstats of all players in the server. I know how to make it display only local player, but how would I do it for all players? Thanks for any and all help!

Sorry if this post seems short. I don’t think there’s much else to say, though. Let me know if you need more info, though. :stuck_out_tongue:

You can use the game.Players:GetPlayers() method which returns a list of all players in the server. You could then loop through them with a for i,v in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) loop run whatever code you are using to display the stats there.

Thanks. But how would I get those text labels to change to show the updated values of each of the other players’ stats whenever they change? I don’t know how to use .Changed in a local script for that.

If you are retrieving other users’ information, you may need to consider using a server script with remote events to update the leaderboard. It might also be useful to show what code you have so far and what the GUI is layed out like.

Inside the statchanger local script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.StatChanger.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, value)
	if player == script.Parent.Parent.Text then
		script.Parent.Text = script.Parent.Text + value
	end
end)

Inside the playerlist local script:

--< variables

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local frame = script.Parent.Frame
local slots = frame.slots
local temp = frame.Template

local players_table = {}

--< tween info:TweenPosition(endPosition, EasingDirection, EasingStyle, Time, Override)

local dir = "Out"
local style = "Quad"
local dur = 0.5

--< functions

local function cleanup(slot)
	
	-- repeat wait until the slot finishes tweening
	repeat
		wait()
	until slot.Position.X.Offset == 400
	slot:Destroy()
	
end

local function remove(leaving)
	
	-- check if a player is leaving
	if leaving then
	
		-- if so, delete dictionary entry 
		players_table[leaving] = nil
		-- tween player slot out
		local slot = slots:FindFirstChild(leaving)
		slot:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0, 400, 0, slot.Position.Y.Offset), dir, style, dur, true)
		
		-- delete the slot once it finishes (coroutine)
		local cor = coroutine.wrap(cleanup)
		cor(slot)
		
	end
end

local function add()
	
	-- loop through players
	local chil = players:GetChildren()
	for c = 1, #chil do
	
		-- check if present in dictionary
		if players_table[chil[c].Name] == nil then
				
			-- add to dictionary
			players_table[chil[c].Name] = 1
			
			-- create a slot in the list
			local slot = temp:Clone()
			
				-- edit that slot
			slot.Name = chil[c].Name
			slot.Text = slot.Name
			--slot.stats.Text = chil[c].leaderstats.Money.Value
				slot.Parent = slots
		end
	end
end

local function adjust(leaving)
	
	-- add() and remove()
	add()
	remove(leaving)
	
	local count = 0
	-- loop through players_table
	for key, value in pairs(players_table) do
	count = count + 1
		-- find corresponding slots
		local slot = slots:FindFirstChild(key)
		
		-- tween slot positions
		local ypos = 30 + (25+2)*(count-1)	
		slot:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, ypos), dir, style, dur, true)
		
	end			
end

--< events

-- player added event
players.PlayerAdded:connect(function()
	adjust(nil)
end)

-- player removing event
players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(leaving)
	adjust(leaving.Name)
end)

adjust()
