How to make a Donation Leaderboard

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

I’ve tried searching Youtube, or the Devforum, but I didn’t see anything that I was looking for.

All the videos, or posts about a Donation Leaderboard are all physical boards, and I want my board to be in the form as a Gui.

Here’s what I got so far:

Purchase Script:

local MPS = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local PRODUCT_ID = "ID_PLACEHOLDER"

local button = script.Parent

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
	MPS:PromptProductPurchase(player, PRODUCT_ID)
end)

Explorer:
explorer_screenshot

Screen:

gui_screenshot
gui_screenshot638×586 180 KB

This what I got so far, it all works fine, but the main thing I need help with is the leaderboard. I want it to show the player’s name, and how much they donated.

I know it’s a lot to ask, but I didn’t find anything else that could help me.

(it’s also going to be a single player game, but I still want a leaderboard to show who donated the most)

Any help is appreciated!

You could use code samples from physical leaderboards and apply it to your GUI.

Here’s a tutorial like you mentioned How to make a Top Donators leaderboard

and here’s the relevant update code

local Products = {
	[1338470979] = {
		Name = 'Small';
		Price = 50;
	};
	[1338471308] = {
		Name = 'Big';
		Price = 100;
	};
	[1338471406] = {
		Name = 'Plenty';
		Price = 300;
	};
	[1338471485] = {
		Name = 'Huge';
		Price = 1000;
	};
}

MarketplaceService.PromptProductPurchaseFinished:Connect(function(userId: number, productId: number, purchased: boolean)
	-- get the player by userId
	local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(userId)
	
	-- check if the player purchased it or not
	if purchased then
		-- get the price/amount
		local price = Products[productId].Price
		
		-- increment the donator's amount
		pcall(DonatorsDatastore.IncrementAsync, DonatorsDatastore, userId, price)
		
		-- get the cframe to position the emitter
		local position = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - Vector3.new(0, player.Character.Humanoid.HipHeight, 0)
		local cf = CFrame.new(position)
		
		-- clone and show the emitter
		local clone = script.Emitter:Clone()
		clone:PivotTo(cf)
		clone.Parent = workspace
		
		-- destroy the emitter after 10 seconds
		Debris:AddItem(clone, 10)
	end
end)

Hmm, I have a code I wrote for it. I can’t really send right now though. But I’ll tell you what I did.

First, I made IntValue inside each player named “Donated” and saved it inside DataStore
Then I used GetOrderedDataStore() method on it which got all the Values I saved and the UserId’s each value was saved in.
Then I used GetSortedAsync() on it.
Then I looped through it, and duplicated the button.

Sorry, I can only send the whole code tomorrow.

I tried to make this work, but first off it’s not what I asked for. I asked for a Gui (in StarterGui, not a Physical board.

Although I was almost able to configure the preexisting script to my liking, unfortunately, I am not skilled enough in that area, I have really never worked with DataStores, etc.

Thank you though!

Ooo! Sounds like a pretty simple idea, is it a Gui in StarterGui?

I can wait, it’s not like I have to do it right now.

Can’t wait to see it!

You will have to use data stores, here is another community tutorial on datastores specifically. This one is really good, I reference it often. DataStores - Beginners to Advanced

You aren’t having problems with the GUI, but you can transfer the code from a physical BillboardGUI to a player’s GUI. The relevant parts of creating text labels will be the same.
