Hey there,
I am thinking of making a global leaderboard for a game I’m making and I was wondering how I could get what rank players are on the leaderboard like if they are 1st or 2nd or 25th. If you have any idea on how thing would be achievable please let me know. Thanks
First let’s get to the questions. Does your game have a data store of what you want to rank?

Yes, I am trying to make a competitive leaderboard where the top 10 and top 25 players will get prizes at the end of the season. So its not really a leaderstat but its still a value being saved.
You’ll need to use GetOrderedDataStore() instead of GetDataStore() to achieve this.

Oh okay, What’s the difference between the 2?
Not much, just one orders the data according to the value of the key and value pair & in the other the data is unordered.
Because of this OrderedDataStores have access to an additional function:
Which is what is used to get a sorted dictionary of data from the OrderedDataStore itself.

Hey there. Not sure if you’re still on but I finished the board. Heres how it looks.
Heres the place file it’s too hard to explain. Feel free to use the scripts in your game. If you have any questions then feel free to ask.
