Here’s the cheese. In this structure, when the player reaches the goal with the certain time, the player will be ranked with the what time tier that has been met.
… The stopwatch is being controlled through a GUI, and textbox. When scripting a ranking system, how can I get the calculations from the GUI?

Is there a string value inside the stopwatch? How does it work?
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
while game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name) == nil do
wait()
end
repeat wait(1) until game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local paused = false
local running = false
local begin = tick()
local pauseT = tick()
local current = 0
local timestart = false
local timer = script.Parent
local debounce = false
function display()
local minute = math.floor(current/60)
local minutes = (minute%60>=10 and “” or “0”)…tostring(minute%60)
local second = math.floor(current)
local seconds = (second%60>=10 and “” or “0”)…tostring(second%60)
local fraction = current%1
local milliseconds = ("%0.3f"):format(fraction):sub(3)
script.Parent.Time.Text = minutes…":"…seconds…"."…milliseconds
end
function startTimer(resetT)
running,paused = true,false
if (resetT) then current = 0 begin = tick() end
while (running) do
if (not paused) then
current = (tick()-begin)
display()
end
wait()
end
end
player.Character.Humanoid.Touched:connect(function(part)
if part.Name == "starterline" and not debounce then
timestart = true
debounce = true
if timestart == true then
local diff = (tick()-pauseT)
begin = (begin+diff)
startTimer(false)
wait(0.001)
debounce = false
end
end
end)
Its a basic stopwatch script that’s been modify for a global trigger.
Is your leaderboard global or in game?
If it’s global, you have to store the number inside the player in a number value and then save that data from the player into the GUI. From there you would do the math to have the lowest scores on top.

This is a local stopwatch function.
