Sorry for reposting so much but I just need help with this. I’m a beginner dev and I’m trying to make it so that this script here allows the player to put their best time on the leaderboard whether they die or not. Right now it only lets the player have a leaderboard time IF THEY DO NOT DIE FROM START TO FINISH! It’s really the last thing I need to fix in the obby besides polishing it a little more! So how do I do this? LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANNA SEE THE 2 OTHER SCRIPTS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE LEADERBOARD, WHICH ARE THE LEADERBOARD UPDATER AND THE LOCAL TIMER GUI SCRIPT! Game’s right here if you wanna try it out by the way!

You can store a IntValue in the Player and increment it for every second they’re in the game, and once they finish the obby you can save that value into your datastore.

I’m a beginner dev and I really don’t know how to do that. Where do I add it in the script above? You mind giving an example code, because I’m clueless.

While I’m not sure how your leaderboard system is set up I’ll give you a piece of sample code that increments the players time by 1 every second and puts it in leaderstats
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local seconds = Instance.new("IntValue")
seconds.Name = "Time"
seconds.Parent = leaderstats
end)
while true do
task.wait(1)
for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") then
player.leaderstats.Time.Value += 1
end
end
end

Alright so the way my leaderboard works is there’s a start part that you have to touch that starts the timer and an end part that ends the timer and puts the time up on the leaderboard. The leaderboard itself works perfectly flawlessly and so does the timerGUI, but the only problem I have is the script that I posted above will not allow the player to have a time on the leaderboard when they touch the EndPart and I wish to change that so it wouldn’t matter if they died during the time trial or not. I believe the script I sent above is the main focus, but I’ll post my other 2 dealing with the leaderboard anyways! Pay attention to where the first script below ends, please! I gave you a little description before them both!
This is the leaderboard updater script that handles the leaderboard and displays the player names and time trials.
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
-- [ LOCALS ] --
local DataVer = "DataTimer" -- Data Store Name
local Store = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("LeaderBoardData2")
local RationalDigits = 3 -- How many numbers show.
-- [ FUNCTIONS ] --
function GetLBData()
local success, pages = pcall(function()
return Store:GetSortedAsync(true, 10)
end)
if success and pages then
local data = pages:GetCurrentPage()
local a = 0
for _, entry in pairs(data) do
a = a + 1
if a == 1 then
end
local val = entry.value / 1000
local Addons={}
for t=1,RationalDigits do
local i = t-1
local integer,predecimal = math.modf(val*(10^i))
local decimal = predecimal/(10^i)
if decimal == 0 then
Addons[t] = "0"
end
end
local NewText = tostring(val)
for i,v in pairs(Addons) do
NewText = NewText..v
end
script.Parent.SurfaceGui["A" .. tostring(a)].PlrName.Text = entry.key .. ": " .. NewText
end
end
end
GetLBData()
while wait(60) do
pcall(function()
GetLBData()
end)
end
This next one is the script that handles the touch/stop parts for timer leaderboard. It's the local script in my TImer ScreenGUI

end
end)
end
for _,d in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if d.Name=='TimerStart' then
local name=(d:FindFirstChild'Title' and d.Title:IsA'StringValue' and d.Title.Value) or ''
connectplrtouch(d,function()
par.Enabled=true
if prev~=d then
SetTime = tick()
prev=d
end
--timerlabel.Visible = true
--timer.Visible = true
timerlabel.TextColor3=Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
SetTime = tick()
timer_active=true
end)
end
if d.Name=='TimerEnd' then
connectplrtouch(d,function()
timerlabel.TextColor3=Color3.new(0.172549, 1, 0.027451) -- Finish color
if timer_active == true then
game.ReplicatedStorage.ApplyTime:FireServer(timerlabel.Text)
end
timer_active=false
end)
end
end
local Accuracy = 10^RationalDigits
function TimerFunc()
if timer_active then
local Div1 = math.abs(tick() - SetTime)
local CalculatedIncrement = math.round(Div1*Accuracy)/Accuracy
local Addons={}
for t=1,RationalDigits do
local i = t-1
local integer,predecimal = math.modf(CalculatedIncrement*(10^i))
local decimal = predecimal/(10^i)
if decimal == 0 then
Addons[t] = "0"
end
end
local NewText = tostring(CalculatedIncrement)
for i,v in pairs(Addons) do
NewText = NewText..v
end
timerlabel.Text=NewText

I’m just curious, how old is this script, because its using some syntax that has been depricated.

I just got the script from a dude’s model last week, but the video was 1 or 2 years old mane! It was a dude named twinPlayz! The scripts work fine but I just want to make it so that whether a player dies or not they can still have a time on the leaderboard depending on if they got a top 10 time! I’ve been stressing over this for 2 weeks, but I know people have deeper problems than I do.

I couldn’t find a reason for your code not working if the player died but I ended up just making it more efficent, removing redundant and slow code that took up memory.

Thank you for the help but I noticed that you removed the anticheat kicker in the script, so I’ll have to put that back! At the top of the server script you sent back, the dude said, “Only saves time when player fully completes course without dying.” Also, I don’t know if you missed it or not but here’s the script that’s inside of the leaderboard part itself!

Oh yeah that’s the script inside the Leaderboard Part itself and thank you for tidying it up! But this is the serverscriptservice one I’m having trouble with; I made the post on it. Its alright though I might’ve confused you with how everything’s set up but the one you sent isn’t the one I’m having the problem with in serverscriptservice. This is

Waddup Ant, nice to see you stop by man! I believe the problem is finally fixed BUT I think I have to do Store:SetAsync(plr.Username) instead of SetAsync(plr.UserId)

Yeah, but I didn’t want to touch that stuff just in case I messed anything up, since I couldn’t test the code…

Also nah that’s (60) thing refreshes the leaderboard and the (0.25) thing is for the timer
I believe so. However, I think it is SetAsync(plr.Name) to be precise. It would replace something here:
However, you may have to manually remove the old key.

Gotcha! I found out how to use the datastore editor but the keys for the leaderboard werent there if that makes sense! I’ll find it!

Is this line correct now? Or do i just leave out the “num”
Store:SetAsync(plr.name, num)Yes, you leave in the num. But make sure name is capitalized!
