Unknown User in OrderedDataStore

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

While testing my game, I noticed that a user called chameleongirl, whom I have no idea about is also in the leaderboard. Just to confirm, is there a vanruability in my script that causes the error?

This is my script that manages the leaderboard:

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local OrderedPlayerScore = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("OrderedPlayerScore")
local PlayerDataFol = game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerData


function FilterODSK(key)
	return string.sub(key,2,#key)
end


function SyncLeaderB()
	local Data = OrderedPlayerScore:GetSortedAsync(false,10,0,math.huge)
	local CurPage = Data:GetCurrentPage()
	for rank, inf in pairs(CurPage) do
		local Username = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(FilterODSK(inf.key))
		local Score = inf.value
		local isOnLB = false
		for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace.ScoreLB.LBgui.CoreFrame.BaseFrame:GetChildren()) do
			if v.NameF.Text == Username then
				isOnLB = true
				break
			end
		end
		if isOnLB == false and Score then
			local NFrame = game.ServerStorage.Storage.GUI.PointFrame:Clone()
			NFrame.Parent = game.Workspace.ScoreLB.LBgui.CoreFrame.BaseFrame
			NFrame.Position = UDim2.fromScale(0,(0.9*(rank/10)))
			NFrame.CountF.Text = Score
			NFrame.NameF.Text = Username
		elseif isOnLB == false and not Score then
			warn("Score is missing")
		end
	end
end


function SaveScore()
	local suc, err = pcall(function()
		for _, v in pairs(PlayerDataFol:GetChildren()) do
			local Score = v["Score"].Value
			OrderedPlayerScore:SetAsync("s"..v.Name,Score)
		end
	end)
	if suc then game.Workspace.ScoreLB.LBgui.CoreFrame.BaseFrame:ClearAllChildren() end
end

while true do 
	SaveScore()
	local suc, err = pcall(SyncLeaderB)
	if not suc then warn(err) end
	task.wait(35)
	
end

And it is not a one-time error, I restarted the game many times and that user was still on there.
Doing some extra research, the user seems like an ordinary roblox user. Here is their profile:

That is the wrong player, the name doesn’t mach and so does the userid.

if the name doesn’t match, then what is causing that?

What is the filterOSDK function for?

Edit: ignore my post above where i stated abt the userID, i realized that the numbers were score count not userID XD.

just turns the key ("s<userId.") into "userId to make key overflow less likely

Are you sure someone didn’t just join your game?

Can you use a data store editing plugin and check the ordered datastore?

I did some reasearch, and ur filterOSDK function is causing it. It somehow is deleting the first 2 numbers from ur userID, whichthen converts it into chameleongirls userID.

Your UserID = 407478547
Chameleon’s id = 7478547

what it does is just remove the first character of the modified ID, which is the s,

It does that but then reruns again to remove the first 2 numbers on ur ID.

looking at that again, it seems like a fair arguement,

I modified my code to resolve that issue:

function FilterODSK(key)
	if string.sub(key,1,1) == "s" then
		return string.sub(key,2,#key)
	else
		return key
	end
end

In a previous topic u made, i noticed that in the data autosaver, u inputted the userID without any <s, mite tht b the problem?
