Global Leaderboard Issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Actually, what I’m trying to do is create a functional GlobalLeaderboard that refreshes every 10 seconds and then lists the top users of that data. My leaderstats script is a little disorganized, albeit some of it actually functions. I’m not sure what the problem is.

So allow me to clarify for you. LeaderstatsStorage is the first of the two DataStores I developed, and GlobalLeaderboardFix is the name of the second. If a player is brand-new to the game by default, they will immediately receive 0 of the seven values that the LeaderstatsStorage saves from an IntValue. This portion functions flawlessly; however, the script for the global leaderboard is broken. In order to make this work, the GlobalLeaderboardFix value is set to the first IntValue of the DataStore named Money. I checked to see if it had the values preserved, and it does. As I utilized the printing method for debugging before posting this to hunt for a solution on my own, it printed exactly the value it had.

But then, the part where the Global Leaderboard-script comes in, it does not really work. It does not clone the TextLabel named Template into a Frame called Holder, and that’s where it does not work. I belive my error starts where it gets all the information about the DataStore in the Global Leaderboard script.

The Global Leaderboard-script, however, does not truly function after it is introduced. Where it fails is when trying to copy the TextLabel named Template into a Frame named Holder. I think my mistake first appears in the Global Leaderboard script, which is where it gathers all the data about the DataStore.
