Ok, so I have tried to make a leaderboard with OrderedDataStores, there you would see the top 5 with the most wins, but for some reason it doesn’t work and I get this error: " Players:GetNameFromUserId() failed because HTTP 404 (NotFound)", Then I tried to debug it by printing the key, and it printed me -2(?), I have also tried to re-write my script and it also didn’t work.
Code here:
local DTS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local WinsStore = DTS:GetOrderedDataStore("WinsStore")
local PlayersInLeaderBoard = workspace.WinsLeaderboard.SurfaceGui:WaitForChild("Users")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Parent = plr
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local Wins = Instance.new("NumberValue")
Wins.Parent = leaderstats
Wins.Name = "Wins"
end)
local function updateLeaderboard()
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
local Data = WinsStore:GetSortedAsync(false, 5)
local currentpage = Data:GetCurrentPage()
for rank, data in ipairs(currentpage) do
local username = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(tonumber(data.key))
local name = username
local rankofplayer = rank
local winsofplayer = tostring(data.value)
local IsOnLeaderboard = false
if winsofplayer and not IsOnLeaderboard then
local cloneframe = game.ReplicatedStorage.FrameOfPlayer:Clone()
cloneframe.Parent = PlayersInLeaderBoard
cloneframe.NumberOfPlayer.Text = rankofplayer
cloneframe.Username.Text = name
cloneframe.Wins.Text = winsofplayer
cloneframe.Position = UDim2.new(0, PlayersInLeaderBoard.Position.Y.Scale, 0, 0 + 0.3, #PlayersInLeaderBoard:GetChildren(), 0, 0)
IsOnLeaderboard = false
end
end
end)
if not success then
print(errormessage)
end
end
while true do
for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
WinsStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats.Wins.Value)
end
for _, frame in pairs(PlayersInLeaderBoard:GetChildren()) do
frame:Destroy()
end
updateLeaderboard()
wait(10)
end```
while true do
for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
WinsStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats.Wins.Value)
end
Please DO NOT constantly write to a DataStore; you’ll be throttled, which can hold up other attempts to write to the DataStore, and if the queue fills up, you can suffer from data loss. Instead, in this case you should write the player’s wins to the DataStore when they leave, which you can do using the Players.PlayerRemoving event.
local DTS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local WinsStore = DTS:GetOrderedDataStore("WinsStores")
local PlayersInLeaderBoard = workspace.WinsLeaderboard.SurfaceGui:WaitForChild("Users")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Parent = plr
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local Wins = Instance.new("NumberValue")
Wins.Parent = leaderstats
Wins.Name = "Wins"
end)
local function updateLeaderboard()
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
local Data = WinsStore:GetSortedAsync(false, 2)
local currentpage = Data:GetCurrentPage()
for rank, data in ipairs(currentpage) do
for userid, value in pairs(data) do
local username = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(tonumber(userid))
local name = username
local rankofplayer = rank
local winsofplayer = tostring(value)
local IsOnLeaderboard = false
for i, v in pairs(PlayersInLeaderBoard:GetChildren()) do
if v.Username.Text == name then
IsOnLeaderboard = true
break
end
end
if winsofplayer and not IsOnLeaderboard then
local cloneframe = game.ReplicatedStorage.FrameOfPlayer:Clone()
cloneframe.Parent = PlayersInLeaderBoard
cloneframe.NumberOfPlayer.Text = rankofplayer
cloneframe.Username.Text = name
cloneframe.Wins.Text = winsofplayer
cloneframe.Position = UDim2.new(0, PlayersInLeaderBoard.Position.Y.Scale, 0, 0 + 0.3, #PlayersInLeaderBoard:GetChildren(), 0, 0)
end
end
end
end)
if not success then
print(errormessage)
end
end
while true do
for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
WinsStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats.Wins.Value)
end
for _, frame in pairs(PlayersInLeaderBoard:GetChildren()) do
frame:Destroy()
end
updateLeaderboard()
wait(10)
end```
Here you go.
OH I’m an idiot. Just read this page on the documentation for DataStorePages:
each containing keys named key and value
You were correct in the beginning; the key is literally named "key". You should change it back; my mistake.
It seems that the key you’re getting out was -2 based on the original post. Are you testing this using the Client and Servers section in the Studio toolbar?
Have you tried just printing out all the keys and values in data and not doing anything with it? It might be possible that the entire script actually works but some invalid values somehow snuck its way into the DataStore and it’s tripping up everything right now.
I tried to print the rank of the player, it worked and said 1 (cause I am the only player so I am first), then I tried to print data.value, it also worked and printed my wins, but data.key only printed -2 and not the UserId.
It still doesn’t work when I change it, BUT when i change the number 2 in WinsStore:GetSortedAsync() to 1 it somehow works (?) (but only if I change it to 1 and no other number)
I’m guessing the error has to do with the lack of sufficient data entries in the DataStore.
Maybe try just putting in some dummy values (e.g. get the IDs of some of your friends’ accounts and just put in 0 for their wins) as placeholders.
Additionally, you could add a check to make sure the UserId is reasonable before trying to use it to query Roblox, i.e. do
for userid, value in pairs(data) do
if userid > 0 then
local username = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(tonumber(userid))
local name = username
-- etc
