Hey! So I’m trying to remove a certain player from my global leaderboard, I erased their Data and everything but their name is still on the leaderboard. This is a big problem since if anyone cheats or anything, I won’t be able to delete their Data from the global leaderboard.
The script (isn’t made by me):
local StatsName = "Coins"
local MaxItems = 100
local MinValueDisplay = 1
local MaxValueDisplay = 10e15
local UpdateEvery = 60
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("GlobalLeaderboard_" .. StatsName)
local SurfaceGui = script.Parent
local Sample = script.Sample
local List = SurfaceGui.Frame.List
local ItemsFrame = List.ListContent.Items
local function GetItems()
local Data = DataStore:GetSortedAsync(false, MaxItems, MinValueDisplay, MaxValueDisplay)
local TopPage = Data:GetCurrentPage()
ItemsFrame.Nothing.Visible = #TopPage == 0 and true or false
for i, v in ipairs(TopPage) do
local UserId = v.key
local Value = v.value
local Username = "[Not Available]"
local Color = Color3.fromRGB(38, 50, 56)
if i <= 3 then
local npc = workspace:FindFirstChild(i)
if npc then
npc.UserId.Value = UserId
end
end
local Success, Error = pcall(function()
Username = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(UserId)
end)
if i == 1 then
Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 215, 0)
elseif i == 2 then
Color = Color3.fromRGB(192, 192, 192)
elseif i == 3 then
Color = Color3.fromRGB(205, 127, 50)
end
local Item = Sample:Clone()
Item.Name = Username
Item.LayoutOrder = i
Item.Values.Number.TextColor3 = Color
Item.Values.Number.Text = i
Item.Values.Username.Text = Username
Item.Values.Value.Text = Value
Item.Parent = ItemsFrame
end
end
while true do
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local Stats = v.leaderstats:WaitForChild(StatsName).Value
if Stats then
pcall(function()
DataStore:UpdateAsync(v.UserId, function(Value)
return tonumber(Stats)
end)
end)
end
end
for i, v in pairs(ItemsFrame:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("ImageLabel") then
v:Destroy()
end
end
GetItems()
wait()
List.ListContent.GuideTopBar.Value.Text = StatsName
List.CanvasSize = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, ItemsFrame.UIListLayout.AbsoluteContentSize.Y + 35)
wait(UpdateEvery)
end
You can quite literally write that in the console of studio or in game or just run it once in a script.
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("GlobalLeaderboard_" .. StatsName)
DataStore:SetAsync(PlayersKey, nil) -- change PlayersKey to the userId of the player you want to data reset
To elaborate on what @Ze_tsu said, you might want to consider making a command you can use in game, so you can do it on sight (be mindful of :SetAsync limits though).
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("GlobalLeaderboard_Coins")
DataStore:SetAsync(1635557081, 0)
Or you could also use :RemoveAsync() and do the same thing:
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("GlobalLeaderboard_Coins")
DataStore:RemoveAsync(1635557081)
I think also talking about exploits, in one plane crash survival, someone was auto getting Survived (a point awarded whenever you survived), and while they unfortunately and shamelessly boosted their Survival points (as an alt) I think adding a debounce would also help.
But as other people said, remove the obvious exploiters from the leaderboard and add a debounce for a currency.
For example, back to the plane crash survival game, a plane goes around 120 seconds, so I’ll said if they get more than 1 under the time of 100 seconds, block it (either by removing it or making them unable to add anything).
No problem! You should probably do what @System502 suggested and make a chat command (or UI) so you can just reset players data in game by doing :ResetData Ze_tsu, etc. Also as he mentioned, remember to stay within rate limits!
