I followed a tutorial on global leaderboards as DataStores are something I don’t do well with. The global leaderboard works fine until the 5th player. It displays the players from Rank 1 to Rank 5 but then it jumps to Rank 9. What could be causing the issue and how could I fix this?

Thank you!

got a screenshot of what it is doing on the leader?

also what is your printout from this

I’m not sure how to send a screenshot but output is:

Created TiledTexan 1
Created efarswognunya 2
Created UnderEvaluation 3
Created RealDad4real 4
Created karenalyse 5
Created shqdows639 9

I don’t understand why its skipping over 6-8, as it should be getting it in order from 1-10

4

that seems to be working fine from the output

5

I’m confused is it supposed to go from 1-5 and then skip to 9?

6

yeah it can there aren’t anymore players between 5-9 with ranks or levels that have been saved yet

as more players join and get different level/ranks it will fill in the numbers between

7

seems right now you have only had 6 players play and it actually save their level/rank to the leaderdatastore

8

if you only want the top 5 in the leaderboard then change the 20 here to 5

9

But if there are only 6 players wouldn’t it go from 1-6? I’m still not sure why it would go to 9.

10

that players data was set to or saved as rank or level 9

its because you are requesting the first page of the orderdatastore and getting the first 20 data slots just change the 20 to 5 and it will limit it to just the first 5

11

I’m starting to understand what you mean. However, how could I display the 6 players in order from Rank 1 to Rank 6? I want it to show the top 10 people in the game. So it would look like:

Created TiledTexan 1
Created efarswognunya 2
Created UnderEvaluation 3
Created RealDad4real 4
Created karenalyse 5
Created shqdows639 6
12

just change that 20 to 10 and once the data is filled in it will show the first 10

actually think it needs to be

local Data = levelsODS:GetSortedAsync(false, 10)  -- actually this is right here for them to be in order had to double check myself been long day
13

I changed it from 20 to 10 but it’s still displaying 1-5 and then 9

14

yeah its going to until the data is filled in or if you changed shqdows639 rank or level in the data to 6

15

it should be like this to be in order
