I’m currently making a custom player list and i ran into a problem. When a new player joins, the players that joined before the new player can’t be seen on the new player’s player list. PlayerEvent is a RemoteEvent. 1st script (PlayerEventManager):
local RE = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").PlayerEvent
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
repeat task.wait() until player.Character and player.PlayerGui
RE:FireAllClients(player, true)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
RE:FireAllClients(player, false)
end)
2nd script (Manager):
local RE = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").PlayerEvent
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
RE.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, Type)
if Type == true then
local template = script.Parent.TemplateFolder.Template:Clone()
template.Name = player.Name
template.DisplayName.Text = player.DisplayName
template.PlayerName.Text = "@"..player.Name
local userId = player.UserId
local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
local content, isReady = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)
template.Player.Image = content
template.Parent = script.Parent
template.Visible = true
elseif Type == false then
for _, frame in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if frame:IsA("Frame") and frame.Name == player.Name then
frame:Destroy()
end
end
end
end)
Since it’s on the client side, the second player only sees himself, because the previous player was added before he joined. You should make it, so when the player joins, all previous players add to the leaderboard on his client, or just try to make the leaderboard server sided.
Apologies for the late response but I just happened to have some free time. What you said is correct I just realised it when you said it. But how exactly should I do that? I’m a beginner scripter and I had my friend help me with this script. I tried using a RemoteFunction InvokeServer but that didn’t really seem to work.
--PlayerEventManager
local RE = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").PlayerEvent
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
repeat task.wait() until player.Character and player.PlayerGui
RE:FireAllClients(player, true,"UpdateEveryone")
RE:FireClient(player,true,"AddEveryone")
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
RE:FireAllClients(player, false)
end)
--Manager
local RE = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").PlayerEvent
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
RE.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, Type,Update)
if Type == true and Update = "UpdateEveryone" then
local template = script.Parent.TemplateFolder.Template:Clone()
template.Name = player.Name
template.DisplayName.Text = player.DisplayName
template.PlayerName.Text = "@"..player.Name
local userId = player.UserId
local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
local content, isReady = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)
template.Player.Image = content
template.Parent = script.Parent
template.Visible = true
elseif Type == false then
for _, frame in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if frame:IsA("Frame") and frame.Name == player.Name then
frame:Destroy()
end
end
elseif Type == true and Update == "AddEveryone" then
for i,player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
local template = script.Parent.TemplateFolder.Template:Clone()
template.Name = player.Name
template.DisplayName.Text = player.DisplayName
template.PlayerName.Text = "@"..player.Name
local userId = player.UserId
local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
local content, isReady = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)
template.Player.Image = content
template.Parent = script.Parent
template.Visible = true
end
end
end)
repeat wai() until game:IsLoaded() --just to make sure its loaded
for _,player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
--add "player" to the player list
end
since you only add the player when a new one joins it won’t register players that are already in the game
I added it but now how it works is when the 2nd player joins it will create the 1st player for the 2nd player AND the 1st player as well. Which means the 1st player sees 2 versions of himself.
then it shouldn’t affect other players, there is no need to send info about already joined or players that join to the server and back. Handle everything on the client.
