It uses a surface gui and clones a frame and then parents it to teh scrolling frame.

local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ODS = DataStore:GetOrderedDataStore("MoneyStats")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Scrolling = script.Parent.Leaders

local function cleanboard()
	print("Clearing Board | function cleanbaord()")
	local Descends = Scrolling:GetChildren()
	for i, Descend in pairs(Descends) do
		if Descend:IsA("Frame") then
			Descend:Destroy()
		end
	end
end


function updateboard()
	local pages = ODS:GetSortedAsync(false, 10)
	local CurrentPage = pages:GetCurrentPage()
	warn("Update Function Provoked | function updateboard()")
	for i, v in ipairs(CurrentPage) do
		print({v.key, v.value})
		local userId = v.key
		local score = v.value
		local frame = script.Frame:Clone()
		pcall(function()
			frame.PName.Text = Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(userId)
		end)
		pcall(function ()
			frame.PImage.Image = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420)
		end)
		frame.PAmount.Text = "$"..score
		frame.PRank.Text = "#"..i
		frame.Parent = Scrolling
		warn(userId.." is ranked #"..i.." with "..score.."Cash")
	end
end


while true do 
	local success, message = pcall(function()
		cleanboard()
		task.wait(1)
		updateboard()
	end)
	if not success then
		print(message)
	end
	
	task.wait(60)
end

it gets to ā€œwarn(ā€œUpdate Function Provoked | function updateboard()ā€)ā€ and stops

I think the problem is that you put in ipairs instead of in pairs, but Iā€™m not sure. Can you try changing it?

#23

I tried and I originally had that, but I believe ipairs is better for loops, I think that is why I originally changed it, I believe I saw that in Documentation.

I did change it just now and nothing happened.

#24

Can you print ā€œCurrentPageā€ to try to see if anything is wrong there?

#25

I did
print({CurrentPage}) and it returned:

{[1] = {}}
Im not sure what that means.

#26

This means that ā€œCurrentPageā€ has no keys. Are you sure that the datastore is not empty?

Its not empty, it loads in to the Leaderstat just fine.
I could understand if it wont work if thereā€™s not enough Keys in the datastore, but I set it to 1 at some point and it still hasnā€™t come up.

#28

Is the leaderstat loading system connected to a normal datastore or an ordered datastore?

#29

It is connected to a normal datastore. Is that why it isnā€™t working?

#30

Yes, you need to set it to an OrderedDataStore for both scripts to work. This is why nothing was in it - you were saving it to a seprate datastore

#31

Alright itā€™s working now.

THANKS YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THE HELP!

#32

Np! I am glad I was able to help you.

im back as i read loading system must be connected to the ordered datastore and i wonder
is this script using normal datastore or ordered?

-- datastore name is replaced because idk why
game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("nil"):SetAsync(player.UserId,Stat)

Edit: yeah its using datastore but uh does this script saves in ordered?

game.DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("Nil"):SetAsync()

Edit 2: i wonder if i can store more than 1

#34

why is everyone die?
man i still need help

#36

I think you are having the same issue as me, like @shopkinspizzas helped me do, it is supposed to be ā€œGetOrderedDataStoreā€ instead of ā€œGetDataStore.ā€

for that message, the second box of script has no setting and that is only saving, it doesnā€™t load data either.
