Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync() failed: Unknown user - Server - leaderboardScript:40

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am setting the userId and when I print that userId it says the correct one, but then when i go in ipairs inside of the page, and use getnamefromuiseridasync, I put in v.key, and it prints out as -2, can someone help me?

#2

Did you use .Name or .DisplayName? Did you enter a username from a player located in the player directory?

Can you share your script and full console error?

whatever (v.key) is must not be the name of a valid player. Giving your the unknown user error because that string name doesn’t exist.

game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.updateLB.Event:Connect(function()
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do

local hrp = char:FindFirstChild(“HumanoidRootPart”)

end

for i,v in pairs(workspace.RobuxLeaderboard.Main.SurfaceGui.Holder:GetDescendants()) do
	if v:IsA("Frame") then
		v:Destroy()

end
updateLB()

end)

Now it’s not even saying that, it says argument 1 missing or nil
