Is there any way to do this in my Leaderboards System?

Hi there! I’m currently making a Leaderboards System for my upcoming game, which gives you rewards on the place you’re in, and I’m new to scripting so I don’t really understand many things. I want to make a system where if you’re in the Top 5, you get an exclusive pet (I know how to make the Script which gives you the pet), but the issue is that I have no idea on how to make it so it detects when you’re on the Top 5 and gives you the pet, and when you aren’t in the Top 5 anymore, the game detects it and removes your pet.

Is there any way to do this? I’ll leave the Script (NOT MINE) below, thanks!


local StatsName = "Coins"
local MaxItems = 100
local MinValueDisplay = 1
local MaxValueDisplay = 10e15
local UpdateEvery = 20

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("GlobalLeaderboard_" .. StatsName)
local SurfaceGui = script.Parent
local Sample = script.Sample
local List = SurfaceGui.Frame.List
local ItemsFrame = List.ListContent.Items

local function GetItems()
	local Data = DataStore:GetSortedAsync(false, MaxItems, MinValueDisplay, MaxValueDisplay)
	local TopPage = Data:GetCurrentPage()
	
	ItemsFrame.Nothing.Visible = #TopPage == 0 and true or false
	
	for i, v in ipairs(TopPage) do
		local UserId = v.key
		local Value = v.value
		local Username = "[Not Available]"
		local Color = Color3.fromRGB(38, 50, 56)
		
		local Success, Error = pcall(function()
		 	Username = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(UserId)
		end)
		
		if i == 1 then
			Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 215, 0)
		elseif i == 2 then
			Color = Color3.fromRGB(192, 192, 192)
		elseif i == 3 then
			Color = Color3.fromRGB(205, 127, 50)
		end
		
		local Item = Sample:Clone()
		Item.Name = Username
		Item.LayoutOrder = i
		Item.Values.Number.TextColor3 = Color
		Item.Values.Number.Text = i
		Item.Values.Username.Text = Username
		Item.Values.Value.Text = Value
		Item.Parent = ItemsFrame
	end
end

while true do
	for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local Stats = v:WaitForChild(StatsName).Value
		if Stats then
			pcall(function()
				DataStore:UpdateAsync(v.UserId, function(Value)
					return tonumber(Stats)
				end)
			end)
		end
	end
	
	for i, v in pairs(ItemsFrame:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("ImageLabel") then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	
	GetItems()
	
	wait()
	SurfaceGui.Heading.Heading.Text = StatsName .. " Leaderboard"
	List.ListContent.GuideTopBar.Value.Text = StatsName
	List.CanvasSize = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, ItemsFrame.UIListLayout.AbsoluteContentSize.Y + 35)
	wait(UpdateEvery)
end

Firstly, your

while true do

is going to completely freeze your game. Secondly, repeatdly spamming the DataStorageService is going to send it into a queue, thus not returning anything.

I’m not going to write the actual code for you, but will explain how to check if the user is in the top 5.

for i, v in ipairs(TopPage) do
		local UserId = v.key
		local Value = v.value
		local Username = "[Not Available]"
		local Color = Color3.fromRGB(38, 50, 56)
		
		local Success, Error = pcall(function()
		 	Username = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(UserId)
		end)
		
		if i == 1 then
			Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 215, 0)
		elseif i == 2 then
			Color = Color3.fromRGB(192, 192, 192)
		elseif i == 3 then
			Color = Color3.fromRGB(205, 127, 50)
		end
		
		-- Check if they are in top 5
		if i <= 5  then
			-- Check if user owns pet by looping through pets
			local DoesOwn = false
			if not DoesOwn and i<5 then
				-- givepet
			end
		else
			-- Check if user owns pet by looping through pets
			local DoesOwn = false
			if DoesOwn and i>5 then
				-- remove pet
			end
		end
