Roblox is slowly using Animators, and the script still yses the old Humanoid to play animations. I can’t redo the model rn
Hmm, I see. Is there a wiki article I could read to maybe try to make one myself?
Edit: After playing around with different anchored properties, I managed to get the results I was looking for.
Wow! Simple to set up, easy to use, amazing in game. Thank you for this spectacular donation board! Can’t believe you are giving this out for free.

Hi there,
The donation board looks very nice and clean, functions properly and has a taste to it, yet is slightly performance draining at some point.
I’d recommend looking into that again.
Do you have any evidence of performance drain caused by it? Perhaps send a screenshot of its script activity?
I’ve used this extensively in my game and have never experienced issues. I can’t imagine you would either–it’s just a loop that sends a request to a datastore and fires all clients once every 60 seconds.
Where are you getting this information from?

Hi, sorry I forgot to update you about this.
Please refer to my previous post.
Above, you can see evidence of the memory leak, that did exist.
Here, you can see that I technically found out that the issue was something completely different.
My apology for the inconvenience.
hey i did a custom donation board (changes on UI) + a dancing rig (only one which would make it good and neat)

How? I want to make it orange, I tried any way I can think off but the color doesn’t change.
Edit: nevermind I figure it out, sorry.
how do I make the board smaller without it messing up the ui
Wow that’s amazing! I like the UI as its neat and clean. I’ll be sure to use this in my future games, with your credit, of course!
Good job!

It doesn’t work, most of the donation doesn’t show up
Is there a way to remove someone from the donation board???
I’ve donated in Studio as a test and it saved it without me wanting it to.
You can remove their key (UserId) from the OrderedDataStore.
How would I go about doing this exactly? I’ve seen something about using the :RemoveAysnc() feature, but I don’t quite know where that goes or how it really works.
I’ve tried something similar to this already and it makes no difference:
Could you post the script you ran?
This is the full Core code (minus the dev products). The key bit is down the very bottom.

Where are you getting the “User_” from? And why is it a string?
I saw on a different post that was how it was done…
I’m assuming that is very incorrect.
I’ve made donations in studio and I don’t know how to get rid of them without changing the datastore completely and erasing real donations from other users. I’ve tried using SetAsync and UpdateAsync, but I don’t have too much experience in datastores at the moment and to my understanding, it’s not working when I try. How can I get rid of donations without removing all of them?
EDIT: I was able to fix the issue with this amazing datastore plugin. I suggest you check it out, it’s very useful.
