but theres an issue in output it says DataStore can not be access by Client then says theres error on line 2 but idk whats wrong with it

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local TimeODS = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("lbSaved_1")


local timeUntilReset = 10


while wait(10) do


    timeUntilReset = timeUntilReset - 1

    script.Parent.Parent.Countdown.Text = timeUntilReset


    if timeUntilReset == 0 then

        timeUntilReset = 10


        for i, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do

            TimeODS:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats.Fish.Value)
        end

        for i, leaderboardRank in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do

            if leaderboardRank.ClassName == "Frame" then
                leaderboardRank:Destroy()
            end
        end


        local success, errorMsg = pcall(function()

            local data = TimeODS:GetSortedAsync(false, 5)
            local coinsPage = data:GetCurrentPage()

            for rankInLB, dataStored in ipairs(coinsPage) do


                local name = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(tonumber(dataStored.key))
                local coins = dataStored.Value


                local template = script.Template:Clone()

                template.Name = name .. "Leaderboard"

                template.PlrName.Text = name

                template.Rank.Text = "#" .. rankInLB

                template.Minutes.Text = coins

                template.Parent = script.Parent             
            end         
        end)
    end
end

That’s a bad place to start learning scripting. There’s series on YouTube (like AlvinBlox and TheDevKing have a series of beginning programming). You could also use Education Roblox since they have a beginners tutorial series too. I would just not recommend learning something like a global leaderboard to start off, that seems way too advanced imo. And I’m not sure if you exactly meant you were a beginner? So my apologies for misunderstanding if that’s the case.

yeah ive learnt from TheDevKing i finished all hes videos on coding ik a fair bit and this is not my first game its just a project i want to do ive made bee harvesting simulator ive made the first ever 2d button simulator i was one of the first people to start making button sims but yeah i quite that awhile ago cause i felt bad for the og creator so yeah i was making a pretty advanced game not long ago but then i got scammed on my alt where i stored all my income and yeah long story with that

Oh that’s great! TheDevKing has made a video on how to make a global leaderboard but not a UI version. And I’m not advanced enough in scripting to even know how to do that. So I’m sorry I can’t really help! :frowning: I looked on YouTube and the dev forum and I can’t find anything sadly. Good luck though.
