Speed Trap with Leaderboard

Resources Community Resources
#1

What this script does (see video):
Tracks the velocity of any vehicle seat that passes through with a player driving. Then converts that velocity to mph (using 1 stud = 28cm). Then using that data it populates a leaderboard showing the 3 top speeds, only allowing one entry per player. Internally speeds are tracked to 3 digits after the decimal. Does not use datastore, or save. Leaderboard is fresh on each new server.

How to use:

Simply download this model, then position the red part so where a player can drive through it & make it transparent.

Credits required:
I only ask that you leave my username, “br_cks”, within the starting leaderboard list as a credit.
