How to refresh a custom leaderboard to show the newest players who have joined?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a custom leaderboard script, however, I am struggling to find out a way to rectify this issue. I have tried to disable and reenable the leaderboard upon a new player’s join, and this did not fix the problem. I also wish to maintain the icon functionality of this custom leaderboard, as this is the main reason why I’m looking to create a custom leaderboard…

localscript

game:GetService('StarterGui'):SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.PlayerList, false)

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ManagementEvent = replicatedStorage.ManagementTeam

local teamCheck = plr.Team

plr:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Team"):Connect(function()
	if plr.Team == Teams.Management then
		teamCheck = Teams.Management
		ManagementEvent:FireServer("test", teamCheck)
	end
end)

Serverscript

--Custom Leaderboard Script. Made by Leaderboard+ plugin (by Infinite_Visions).
--Find the plugin Documentation here: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/leaderboard-create-custom-leaderboards-in-studio/1338477

local Settings = script.Parent.Settings
local Path = nil
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local managementEvent = replicatedStorage.ManagementTeam
local refreshEvent = replicatedStorage.RefreshEvent

--Handle Admins. If You Have no admins, ignore this.
local Admins = {
	"Infinite_Visions",
	"Example_Name_Here"
}

--Get Creator Id
local ownerId = nil
if game.CreatorType == Enum.CreatorType.Group then
	local PlaceInfo = game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):GetProductInfo(game.PlaceId)
	ownerId = game:GetService("GroupService"):GetGroupInfoAsync(PlaceInfo.Creator.CreatorTargetId).Owner.Id
else
	ownerId = game.CreatorId
end

--Setup Players Already In-Game
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
	--Add a slot to the leaderboard
	local NewSlot = script.Parent.LeaderboardFrame.HoldingFrame.Sample:Clone()
	NewSlot.Name = player.Name
	
	--Handle Names

Are there any errors? Also can you send a model for us to test, that would help alot.

You aren’t accounting for players that have already joined. You can use a loop like
for _, player in game.Players:GetPlayers() do
– do cool stuff with player instance
do
to then generate already joined players.

I am rather new to scripting, where would I put this? In a server script, or local?

#7

Where do you generate player entries? you would just do it there.

#8

i am truly stumped on what to do, probably because i’ve been working on figuring this out for the past 7 hours now

Just use

Players#PlayerAdded

and
Players#PlayerRemoving

to detect when a player joins or leaves.
