I am making a tower defense game and using profile store for the main data saving system but I want to make global leaderboards, i know that profile store doesn’t support global leaderboards, but is there any other way I could get around this without recoding a new data saving system?

you can use the profile store to save the data but then make your own orded data store in the data store the update the order data store every 5 minutes for example
-- make your own code to get the leaderboard data upon joining
local DDS = game:GetSerivce("DataStoreSerivce")
local Players = game:GetSerivce("Players")
local CoinsDataStore = DDS:GetOrdedDataStore("CoinsData")
local REFRESH_TIME = 60 * 5 -- 5 minutes
function Refresh(Player: Player)
while task.wait(REFRESH_TIME) do
if not Players:FindFirstChild(Player.Name) then break end
-- Amuning you have your item in a value under leaderstats
local PlayerCoins = Player.leaderstats.Coins.Value
local Attempts = 1
local success, err
repeat
success, err = pcall(function()
CoinsDataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId, PlayerCoins)
end)
if not success then
Attempts += 1
print(err)
task.wait(3)
end
until success or Attempts == 5
if success then
print("Successfully added data")
else
print("No Success", err
end
end
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Refresh(Player)
end)
sorry that isn’t formatted correctly I wrote this off by heart so it might not be correct ether
if you don’t know how to make the leaderboard I can show you a video I used to make my first one.

I just did that because I was typing on a computer but not on roblox studio because I wasn’t there. I usually don’t do it like that. The - was a typo.
