I want to make it that my leaderboard stops at a certain value but still saves data this is my leaderboard script it works fine

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local MyDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore('MyDataStore')

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'

	local currency = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
	currency.Name = 'Rank' 
	currency.Value = 0 

	local PlayerRankId = 'Rank_'..player.UserId
	local RankData

	local s, err = pcall(function()
		RankData = MyDataStore:GetAsync(PlayerRankId)
	end)

	if s then
		currency.Value  = RankData
	else
		warn(err)
	end

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)

	local PlayerRankId = 'Rank_'..player.UserId

	local s, err = pcall(function()
		MyDataStore:SetAsync(PlayerRankId, player.leaderstats.Rank.Value)
	end)

	if s then
		print('Stored all Player Data')
	else
		warn(err)

Make the real values something like stats, then have a script update the values in leaderstats.
Why do you want this anyways?

i want it so hackers cant get infinite money

Exploits are not able to change a server side value, make sure to have the leaderboard script as a server script. I recommend reading on how exploits and scripts work.

#5

Ohhhhh, just do this in that script at the end:

cap = 2
while wait(1) do
if player.leaderstats.Rank >= cap then
player.leaderstats.Rank = cap
end
#6

yes its in the serverscriptservice

#7

Then you should be fine without exploiters getting “infinite money”

#8

What about a serversided backdoor?

#9

huh :thinking: :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

#10

A serversided backdoor only happens if you have a malicious script inside your game. For example a script from the toolbox or a plugin. (I recommend to use RoDefender antivirus plugin to get rid of any backdoors)

#11

It can still happen, if you miss something, better safe than sorry.

#12

so were in the script should this go?

i no at the end but like were

#13

ohhhh ok :smile: :smile: :grinning:

#14

In sss and the value changing thing at the bottom of the leaderstats.

#15

like here

if s then
		print('Stored all Player Data')
	else
		warn(err)
	end
cap = 2
while wait(1) do
if player.leaderstats.Rank >= cap then
player.leaderstats.Rank = cap
end
end)
#16 
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local MyDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore('MyDataStore')

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'

	local currency = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
	currency.Name = 'Rank' 
	currency.Value = 0 

	local PlayerRankId = 'Rank_'..player.UserId
	local RankData

	local s, err = pcall(function()
		RankData = MyDataStore:GetAsync(PlayerRankId)
	end)

	if s then
		currency.Value  = RankData
	else
		warn(err)
	end

end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)

	local PlayerRankId = 'Rank_'..player.UserId

	local s, err = pcall(function()
		MyDataStore:SetAsync(PlayerRankId, player.leaderstats.Rank.Value)
	end)

	if s then
		print('Stored all Player Data')
	else
		warn(err)
	end
end)

while wait(1) do
if player.leaderstats.Rank >= cap then
player.leaderstats.Rank = cap
end
end

should work
