dont know why it wont make another person in my leaderboard

[hexed vapor]

wdym another person

[fickle fern]

like its my player list

when my friend joins only my name shows

[hexed vapor]

local script?

[fickle fern]

do i js remove every local

yeah its a local script

[hexed vapor]

no i mean is it a local script

oh

[hexed vapor]

yea thats why

change to server and see if it works

[fickle fern]

do i gota delete everything that says local too?

[hexed vapor]

no

[dense charm]

might want to look into https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/UIListLayout

this doesn't quite work the way you want it to logically

currently it copies the name UI element and just keeps it in the same position with a different Name and not text

[hexed vapor]

so it wasnt because of the script type?

hmm well actually

i think you're

right

[dense charm]

unless it's a surfaceUI, no

[hexed vapor]

it gets all the players and puts them onto a list the script type doesnt matter

oh okay

whoops

im still learning coding

[fickle fern]

lowkie js rewrote the whole thing

local players = game.Players:GetChildren()
local named = script.Parent.PlayerList.Frame

while true do
    for i,v in pairs(players) do
        local name = named:Clone()
        
        name.Parent = script.Parent.PlayerList.Frame.ScrollingFrame
        name.names.Text = v.Name
    end
    wait(1)
    
    for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.PlayerList.base.ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
        if v:Isa("Frame") then
            v:Destroy()
        end
    end
end




pairs(players)```

my names not showing up now

[dense charm]

while true do

this is an infinite loop

[fickle fern]

ya

so if someone joins

[dense charm]

why would you need it

PlayerAdded

[fickle fern]

it adds if someone joins correct? or leaves it removes

am i slow

[dense charm]

PlayerAdded and PlayerRemoving events are meant for that

a while true loop will just make it messy

and constantly be active

[hexed vapor]

yea sorry,

[dense charm]

can you give me an ss of the gui itself

[hexed vapor]

the way ur script is constructed is making a bunch of clones of textlabels ofplayer names if i understand correctly

[fickle fern]

bruh what do i do than im s confused

[dense charm]

I get the idea but Im confused about the names text thing

[dense charm]

no no like how it looks

in-game

or at least

is intended to look

[vital flare]

this script runs only once tho if the code sent here is the whole script

[fickle fern]

its not even puting my name up there

[vital flare]

ok so you jsut want a list of the players names right?

[fickle fern]

ya

[dense charm]

wait

are you putting all the names into 1 textLabel

or creating new ones in a vertical manner?

[fickle fern]

id like to create new ones vertical

but idk how

[dense charm]

ah

well 2 ways

uiListLayout or the messy way of individually creating them

[fickle fern]

ok but first before i do that how come my names not even showing up?

[dense charm]

first add a print check

after the for i,v in pairs(players) do add print(i,v)

and see if it prints anything

oh nvm

the table is just empty

replace the first line with

local players = game:GetService("Players")```

[fickle fern]

i did

i havent shown the script again mbv

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local named = script.Parent.PlayerList.Frame

while true do
    for i,v in pairs(players) do
        local name = named:Clone()
        
        name.Parent = script.Parent.PlayerList.Frame.ScrollingFrame
        name.names.Text = v.name
    end
    wait(5)
    
    for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.PlayerList.base.ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
        if v:Isa("Frame") then
            v:Destroy()
        end
    end
end




pairs(players)```

[dense charm]

ehh

second

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local named = script.Parent.PlayerList.Frame

while true do
    for _,playerName in game.Players:GetChildren() do
        local name = named:Clone()
        
        name.Parent = script.Parent.PlayerList.Frame.ScrollingFrame
        name.names.Text = playerName.name
    end
    wait(5)
    
    for i,v in script.Parent.PlayerList.base.ScrollingFrame:GetChildren() do
        if v:Isa("Frame") then
            v:Destroy()
        end
    end
end

[fickle fern]

uh

[dense charm]

is it meant to be like that 👀

[fickle fern]

nope!

[dense charm]

no clue what you got going over there man with the ui

[fickle fern]

see were the lable is theres were the names sup to be

[dense charm]

did you reference the label correctlyt in the script?

[fickle fern]

idk

hold up

i did it

[dense charm]

nice

that's step 1

[fickle fern]

how do i make sure it has more than 1 name

[dense charm]

now you gotta remake the whole script cause that while true do is ugly

gotta make new Frame's

one for each person

[fickle fern]

i did i used my old script i showed i js changed a few things around in explorer

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local named = script.Parent.PlayerList.Frame.ScrollingFrame.names
local function PlayerName(players)
    for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        named.Text = v.Name
        for i=1,25 do
            local clonedObject = named:Clone()
            clonedObject.Name = "clone"..i
             if named.Text == v.Name then
                named:Clone().Text = v.Name
          end
       end
    end
end





PlayerName(players)```

now how do i clone it so everytime someone joins it clones and there names there

[vital flare]

you could detect when players join and leave so it adds and removes them from the list with game.Players.PlayerAdded and game.Players.PlayerRemoving

[vital flare]

why frames though. why not jsut text labels

[dense charm]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ExampleFrame = script.Parent.PlayerList.Frame.ScrollingFrame.names

local function createNewFrame(PlayerName)
    local newFrame = ExampleFrame:Clone()
    newFrame.Text = PlayerName
    newFrame.Name = PlayerName.."Frame"
    newFrame.Position = ...
end

local function deleteFrame(PlayerName)
    ExampleFrame.Parent[PlayerName.."Frame"]:Destroy()
end

for _,playerName in game.Players:GetPlayers() do -- ran once whenever YOUR player joins the game
  createNewFrame(playerName)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) -- ran once a new player joins
    createNewFrame(Player)
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player) -- ran once a player leaves
    deleteFrame(Player)
end)

something like this

[dense charm]

can be that oto

too

depends on what he's using

[vital flare]

fair

[fickle fern]

woild this work

[dense charm]

yes and no

it works, but not in the way that you want it to

you need a list of players

this just replaces the current labels text with the new player

and keeps the one singular label

[fickle fern]

what if i make more than 1 lable

[dense charm]

sure

try it

[dense charm]

, but honestly I'd suggest looking into uiListLayout

😢

[dense charm]

gotta do it similar to this then

there's honestly no easy path for this

if you try to take it then it'll just come out horrible

[fickle fern]

what does the ..
