Leaderboard doesn't work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

My friend and I are trying to make a leaderboard. For some reason, nothing in the for loop works. Does anyone have ideas?

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DS2 = game.ServerScriptService.DataStore2
local LevelDataStore = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("LevelDataStore")

local LeaderboardPart = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local RefreshRate = 5

function RefreshLeaderboard()

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

        LevelDataStore:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.leaderstats:WaitForChild("Level").Value)
    end

    local success, errormsg = pcall(function()
        

        local Data = LevelDataStore:GetSortedAsync(false, 10)
        local LevelPage = Data:GetCurrentPage()

        for i, v in ipairs(LevelPage) do
            
            print(v)
        
            local UserName = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(tonumber(v.key))
            
            print(game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(tonumber(v.key)))

            local Level = v.value

            if Level then
                
                print("Level Is True")

                local NewSample = script.Parent.Template:Clone()

                NewSample.Parent = LeaderboardPart.SurfaceGui.ScrollingFrame
                NewSample.Name = UserName

                NewSample.Rank.Text = "# " .. i
                NewSample.PlrName.Text = UserName
                NewSample.Level.Text = Level

            end
        end
    end)
end


while wait(1) do 
    
    print("While wait here")

    for i, v in pairs(LeaderboardPart.SurfaceGui.ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
        if v.Name ~= "Template" and v:IsA("Frame") then
            v:Destroy()
        end
    end
    
    RefreshLeaderboard()
    wait(RefreshRate)
end

Will this work?

while true do
    print("check")
    for i, v in pairs(LeaderboardPart.SurfaceGui.ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
        if v.Name ~= "Template" and v:IsA("Frame") then
            v:Destroy()
        end
    end
    RefreshLeaderboard()
    wait(RefreshRate)
end

Does it show any errors??? If so share them! Also, try and print with trial and error to see which parts work within the code.

#4

There are no errors.

Like I said, first try to print on some areas and see which areas are printed. From there we can move on. (The unprinted area is maybe where it needs fixing).

#6

We did do that, and it didn’t work past “local UserName”.

#7

Are you sure API Services are on?
You can turn them on by going to Game Settings - Security - API Services and turn them on.
Also, it’s better to test DataStore in the Roblox Client, not studio.

Yeah try what @captan40000 said or:

Maybe try and replace Players with :GetService("Players")

I’m not too sure on this one tho.

#9

All of that has been done.
