How to remove limit from leaderboard?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#16

Use tonumber(string) to convert the string to number for you to change / save the number.

#17

ye whatever reece said i definitely knew that

#18

It didn’t help me either, it also gives an error

#19

But in any case, I’ll check now

#20

Please post the script and show me how you’re using it I can’t help you without it

#21

Okay just looked back at this and realized your problem. The number is over the integer limit (as we know) and can’t save.

If you’re using a regular DataStore, you can simply save the number as a string.

If you’re using an OrderedDataStore, you will need to do a little more than that. Check out this post.

#22

You can divide the number by for example 100 before saving to reduce it and to load it just multiply the number from the data by 100 too.

#23

And how can I do this, tell me?

#24

I use data store in this script to save leaderboard

#25

Thanks for the topic, I didn’t figure it out

#26

Okay try this, i edited this in reply here

--// GENERAL VARIABLES
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DSS:GetOrderedDataStore("test")
local moduleSc = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Abbreviate)
local dividenumber = 100

--// UI VARIABLES

local UI = script.Parent.SurfaceGui
local basePlayerFrame = UI.BasePlayerFrame
local boardFrame = UI.ScrollingFrame

--// Functions
local function SaveData()
	for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
		local plr_key = "id_" .. player.UserId .. "_Strength"


		local Strength = player:FindFirstChild("Strength")
		if Strength and typeof(Strength.Value) == "number" then
			local success, result = pcall(function()
				DataStore:SetAsync(plr_key, math.floor(Strength.Value/dividenumber))
			end)

			if not success then 
				warn(result)
			end
		else
			warn("Strength " .. player.Name)
		end
	end
end


local function getTop10Players()
	local isAscending = false
	local pageSize = 10
	local pages = DataStore:GetSortedAsync(isAscending, pageSize)
	local top10 = pages:GetCurrentPage()

	local top = {}

	for rank, data in ipairs(top10) do
		local dataName = data.key
		local name = game:GetService("Players"):GetNameFromUserIdAsync(dataName:split('_')[2])
		local Strength = data.value

		local currentPlayer =  { Player = name, Strength = Strength, Rank = rank, }
		table.insert(top, rank, currentPlayer)
	end

	return top
end

local function ClearList()
	task.spawn(function()	
		for _, plrFrame in pairs(boardFrame:GetChildren()) do
			if not plrFrame:IsA("Frame") then continue end
			plrFrame:Destroy()
			task.wait(0.25)
		end
	end)
end

local function UpdateList()
	SaveData()
	ClearList()
	local top50 = getTop10Players()

	task.spawn(function()	
		for _, plr in ipairs(top50) do
			local frame = basePlayerFrame:Clone()
			frame.Parent = boardFrame

			frame.name.Text = plr.Player
			frame.Strength.Text = moduleSc.abbreviate(plr.Strength * dividenumber) 
			frame.rank.Text = plr.Rank

			frame.Visible = true
			task.wait(0.25)
		end
	end)
end


task.spawn(function()
	while true do
		UpdateList()
		for count=5,0,-1 do
			script.Parent.Part.SurfaceGui.Count.Text = "Leaderboard Updating In:" .. count .. " seconds!"
			task.wait(1)
		end
	end
end)

#28

This did not help in solving the problem

#30

increase the dividenumber until it works.

#31

And remember to multiply the number back after you GetSortedAsync it.

#32

Yes, it does, check the script

#33

Ah yes, apologies. He multiplies the text value rather than the raw data value.

I multiplied how much I needed and it worked and now I would like to tell you how it works if the player has a strength of 1e30 and I write in the dividend such 1e30 then it shows and when I type 1e40 it does not show is it possible Make it so that it is automatically reduced to the player’s strength

#35

In order not to constantly multiply, I want it to be done automatically so as not to constantly change

#36

okay so here i added a function that calulcates the scaling factor with the value’s magnitude.

--// GENERAL VARIABLES
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DSS:GetOrderedDataStore("test")
local moduleSc = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Abbreviate)

local function ScaleFactor(value)
    local magnitude = math.floor(math.log10(value))
    local scale = 10 ^ (magnitude - 2) 
    return scale
end

--// UI VARIABLES
local UI = script.Parent.SurfaceGui
local basePlayerFrame = UI.BasePlayerFrame
local boardFrame = UI.ScrollingFrame

--// Functions
local function SaveData()
    for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
        local plr_key = "id_" .. player.UserId .. "_Strength"
        local Strength = player:FindFirstChild("Strength")
        if Strength and typeof(Strength.Value) == "number" then
            local scale = ScaleFactor(Strength.Value)
            local success, result = pcall(function()
                DataStore:SetAsync(plr_key, math.floor(Strength.Value / scale))
            end)
            if not success then 
                warn(result)
            end
        else
            warn("Strength " .. player.Name)
        end
    end
end

local function getTop10Players()
    local isAscending = false
    local pageSize = 10
    local pages = DataStore:GetSortedAsync(isAscending, pageSize)
    local top10 = pages:GetCurrentPage()
    local top = {}

    for rank, data in ipairs(top10) do
        local dataName = data.key
        local name = game:GetService("Players"):GetNameFromUserIdAsync(dataName:split('_')[2])
        local Strength = data.value
        local scale = ScaleFactor(Strength)
        local currentPlayer = { Player = name, Strength = Strength * scale, Rank = rank }
        table.insert(top, rank, currentPlayer)
    end

    return top
end

local function ClearList()
    task.spawn(function()    
        for _, plrFrame in pairs(boardFrame:GetChildren()) do
            if not plrFrame:IsA("Frame") then continue end
            plrFrame:Destroy()
            task.wait(0.25)
        end
    end)
end

    ClearList()
    local top50 = getTop10Players()

    task.spawn(function()    
        for _, plr in ipairs(top50) do
            local frame = basePlayerFrame:Clone()
            frame.Parent = boardFrame

            frame.name.Text = plr.Player
            frame.Strength.Text = moduleSc.abbreviate(plr.Strength) 
            frame.rank.Text = plr.Rank

            frame.Visible = true
