Using the HD Admin API in my script seems to disable the leaderboard initalizer

1. What do you want to achieve?
   I’m scripting a game where you collect bricks to gain EXP which are stored in the leaderboard. Once a player reaches a certain EXP, the player is ranked into the next rank.

2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
   The HD Admin API for some reason makes it so that the leaderboard doesn’t initalize.

3. What solutions have you tried so far?
   I tried to modify an admin rank giver pad I found on the toolbox, but the same issue occurs.
   I also can’t pinpoint the exact issue as there are no errors in the console, server and client.

Here is the code:

local hdMain = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("MainModule"):WaitForChild("Server").Assets:WaitForChild("HDAdminSetup")):GetMain()
local hd = hdMain:GetModule("API")

local ranks = {
	"Newbie Admin",  
	"Beginner Admin",  
	"Good Admin",  
	"Great Admin",  
	"Junior Admin",  
	"Senior Admin",  
	"Certified Admin",  
	"Above Regular Admin",  
	"Professional Admin",  
	"Alright Admin",  
	"Advanced Admin",  
	"Master Admin",  
	"Epic Admin",  
	"/e dance2",  
	"Superb Admin",  
	"Veteran Admin",  
	"Trusted Admin",  
	"Best Admin",  
	"The Adminest Admin There Is",  
	"Administrator",  
	"I didn't get a mint with my Admin",  
	"Greatest of All Admin",  
	"The Observer",  
	"Supreme Admin",  
	"Admin King",  
	"Chief Admin",  
	"Experienced Admin",  
	"Admins of the Year",  
	"The Brickest Admins In Town",
}

print(ranks[2])

local function initLeaderboard(plr)
	local curtrank = 0
	-- Create the leaderstats folder
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = plr

	-- Create the XP value
	local xp = Instance.new("IntValue")
	xp.Name = "EXP"  -- The XP value is named "XP"
	xp.Value = 0    -- Start the XP at 0 (you can change this to any starting value)
	xp.Parent = leaderstats

	local lvl = Instance.new("StringValue")
	lvl.Name = "Admin" 
	lvl.Value = "Player"
	lvl.Parent = leaderstats
	
	-- Function to check if XP has passed a threshold
	local function checkThreshold()
		if xp.Value >= 95 then
			xp.Value -= 95
			curtrank += 1
			lvl.Value = ranks[curtrank]
			hd:SetRank(plr, ranks[curtrank], "Server")
			-- Add any other actions you want to take when the XP reaches the threshold
		end
	end

	-- Listen for changes to the XP value and check the threshold
	xp.Changed:Connect(function()
		checkThreshold()
	end)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	initLeaderboard(player)
end)

If I’m not wrong, this could be because of the developer’s control over the module.

I don’t use HD Admin, so I couldn’t tell you, but I recommend to use Cmdr instead, it’s way more customizable and can do everything + more HD Admin can. GitHub - evaera/Cmdr: Extensible command console for Roblox developers
