Leaderstats load very slow

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Whenever I load into my game the leaderstats don’t load until 15 seconds of being in the game which ruins lots of features in the game. I’ve tried a lot of thing but they don’t seem to work. I’m not sure if something is messed up in my leaderstats script. Here it is:

local PlayerStatsDS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Player_StatsLOL")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(NP)
	
	local Key = "PDS-".. NP.UserId
	
	local GetSave = PlayerStatsDS:GetAsync(Key)
	
	local PSF = Instance.new("Folder", NP)
	PSF.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local StatsFolder = script.Stats
	
	for _, S in pairs(StatsFolder:GetChildren()) do
		local NS = Instance.new(S.ClassName, PSF)
		NS.Name = S.Name
		NS.Value = S.Value
	end
	
	local timeplayed = PSF:WaitForChild("Time Played")
	
	spawn(function()
		while true do
			wait(1)
			timeplayed.Value = timeplayed.Value + 1
		end
	end)
	
	if GetSave then
		for n, Stat in pairs(PSF:GetChildren()) do
			Stat.Value = GetSave[n]
		end
	else
		local STS = {}
		for _, Stat in pairs(StatsFolder:GetChildren()) do
			table.insert(STS, Stat.Value)
		end
		PlayerStatsDS:SetAsync(Key, STS)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(OP)
	
	local Key = "PDS-".. OP.UserId
	
	local StatsFolder = OP.leaderstats
	
	local STS = {}
	for _, Stat in pairs(StatsFolder:GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(STS, Stat.Value)
	end
	PlayerStatsDS:SetAsync(Key, STS)
end)

Any help would be amazing! :slight_smile:

It is slow caused by the datastore

Make the leaderstats before loading datastore might help

This didn’t work at all sadly. Didn’t add leaderstats to the player.

7

I tried that previously, but it just made the wait time longer.

8

Make 2 separate scripts, that’s what I do.

9

A separate leaderstats and datastore one?

10

Indeed, I always made a script for leaderstat and another for datastore. Loading is normal for me.

11

Hmm alright ill give it a go. I also noticed that the leaderstats bar on the top right never appears even when the data is loaded.

Fixed it. This should work.

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local timePlayedStore = datastores:GetDataStore("DataStore")

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Parent = player
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	
	local seconds = Instance.new("IntValue")
    seconds.Parent = leaderstats
	seconds.Name = "Seconds"
	
	local success, result = pcall(function()
		return timePlayedStore:GetAsync("Seconds_"..player.UserId)
	end)
	
	if success then
		if result then
			seconds.Value = result
		end
	else
		warn(result)
	end
	
	task.spawn(function()
		while task.wait(1) do
			seconds.Value += 1
		end
	end)
end

local function onPlayerRemoving(player)
	local seconds = player.leaderstats.Seconds
	local success, result = pcall(function()
		timePlayedStore:UpdateAsync("Seconds_"..player.UserId, function(old)
			return seconds.Value
		end)
	end)
	
	if success then
		if result then
			print(result)
		end
	else
		warn(result)
	end
end

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(onPlayerRemoving)

This did indeed work. But the only issue is that the leaderstats board doesn’t appear after 15 seconds.

What part of your Original Script makes your leaderstats board appear after 15 seconds?

Nevermind, I got it fixed! Thanks for the help!
