I've spent 2 days now trying to figure out how to make a global leaderboard that works, I've watched 10 different Youtube videos and every time I'm finished with the video's I try and see if it works, it always fails. If anyone knows how and can help that would be much appreciated.(also I don't know how to code at all I've just been watching tutorials for this)

#

please help anyone

i know your attention span is fried by brainrot games and instant dopamine from the internet but you gotta lock in and actually read this stuff slowly and carefully

#

it's the only way

#

there are no shortcuts to developing irl skills

#

ai cannot generate skill for you, that's your job

#

read every page in the docs, and when you are done, read it again coz roblox added or changed something, and you probably missed something or forgot what you read

#

anything less is you may as well just go back to playing steal a brainrot

Being his scripter throughout the game.

neat chasm
#

going around dming random people

#

you're not even ranked

#

you're not verified

silver nimbus
#

Yeah im not verified..

#

not even ranked maybe cz im just too lazy to send vids and shi

neat chasm
#

you claim yourself a scripter yet have only really participated in #💬︱general spamming the question does anyone have $20 or if someone wants to hire you

#

i don't want to make the accusation but i mean it's not a good look what you're doing

#

and dming random people who ask help questions is probably not going to get you very far, if anything you're eventually going to dm the wrong person and they report you for unsolicited advertising. that's before even looking at the kind of person you're dming; most of them aren't looking to hire and/or dont have money, or they wouldn't be posting in help. you might get the occasional person posting an ad but look, either you or they are going to get scammed eventually and i'm just trying to help you out of that. you can do better than this

neat chasm
#

but all these questions are only questions because you're doing this

#

you've been searching for this for weeks

#

i think the window of asap has passed a bit and maybe you should look elsewhere for it

#

i do see you made a couple of hiring posts back in jan

#

no hang on

#

these aren't regular ads

#

"hiring a client finder on commission" what is this

#

yeah there it is

neat chasm
#

that's fucking dodgy man

#

Ping me when ur talking to me

#

as I didnt notice ur still talking, im busy working for someone

neat chasm
#

look, if you don't want people suspecting you of these things, don't go around dming random people posting help questions. it's just not a good look, for you

silver nimbus
#

Just fuck off lol, Ill do whatever u want.

neat chasm
#

whatever

#

I am not looking to for someone to hire for my game I was just looking for help with my global leaderboard

#

Also @neat chasm I managed to get it with a little help of ai that's probably a bad thing so im going to do what you said.

neat chasm
#

takes work, and a lot of it

#

some problems will take you weeks

#

but when you achieve it for the first time, well the next time won't take you weeks, it'll take days

#

do that for the simplest of tasks, and then you can combine them for harder tasks, and repeat until eventually you're at my level

#

it's truly elementary

#

like a global leaderboard isn't all that difficult, you can break it down into extremely simple components: data storage and fetching, and just a standard ui list with rows of data

#

you'd start with save/load from orderedstore, which is almost the same as a regular datastore, you'd create a ui list that can accept a table to display whatever you want in the rows, and you're pretty much already done

#

this process of breaking problems down into smaller problems has a name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_thinking and is essential if you want to learn scripting

Computational thinking

Computational thinking refers to the thought processes involved in formulating problems so their solutions can be represented as computational steps and algorithms. In education, computational thinking is a set of problem-solving methods that involve expressing problems and their solutions in ways that a computer could also execute. It involves ...

Thank you a lot for the help and tips! I have a question how long do oyu think it would take for me to learn how to make something like a global leaderboard without the help of others including ai

no expert magically knows what's in an api without reading its documentation

#

so.. whenever you've got a handle on lua and can navigate the docs to find what you're looking for
