00:00:01,210 --> 00:00:01,840
Hey there.

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:07,720
In this lecture, we're going to be making a simple leaderboard that displays the kills, deaths, and

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,120
money for every single player in our game.

4
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:11,620
So let's get started.

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:18,200
We can create a new script inside of the server script service, and I'm going to call this script my

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,910
leaderboard handler.

7
00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:24,920
We're going to fill this in with the same comet template as before.

8
00:00:26,810 --> 00:00:31,220
And in order to set up a leaderboard for every single player, we're going to have to get the player

9
00:00:31,220 --> 00:00:31,970
service.

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,510
And then we can go ahead and listen for when a player joins our game.

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:40,980
Get that player.

12
00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:43,680
And here we can go ahead and set up a leaderboard forum.

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,090
So we'll create a new folder that'll be instance dot new folder.

14
00:00:49,050 --> 00:00:52,890
And then the name of this folder will be our leader stats.

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,030
And then we can go ahead and set the parent of the folder equal to our player.

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,440
And then we want to create three different int values to represent the kills, deaths and how much money

17
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,220
our player has.

18
00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:06,950
So we can go ahead and create a dedicated function for that.

19
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:11,860
And we'll call this create int value.

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,340
And we can pass the name for the int value.

21
00:01:15,610 --> 00:01:20,560
Um what value we would like to set in it by default as well as the parent for the int value.

22
00:01:20,650 --> 00:01:25,420
And inside of here we'll create a new variable I'll call it int and that's equal to instance dot new.

23
00:01:25,420 --> 00:01:27,550
Create a new int value instance.

24
00:01:27,550 --> 00:01:32,800
And then the name is going to be equal to the name pass to the function the value equal to the value,

25
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,040
and then the parent equal to the parent.

26
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,320
Then we can go ahead and call this function and create, for example, our kill's value.

27
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:43,480
We'll start off with a default value of zero.

28
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,630
And then the parent is going to be our leader stats folder.

29
00:01:47,050 --> 00:01:49,900
And then we can basically just copy this and do it two more times.

30
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:56,230
But this time we want to have a value for our players deaths as well as for our players money.

31
00:01:57,170 --> 00:02:02,510
Now we're going to be filling in money and kills later when we add zombies to our game and we set up

32
00:02:02,510 --> 00:02:03,770
the shop for our game.

33
00:02:03,770 --> 00:02:08,630
But we can go ahead and implement the functionality for listening to a player's deaths.

34
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:13,700
So when a player joins our game, what we can go ahead and do is we can listen for when a player has

35
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:15,800
their character added to them.

36
00:02:15,860 --> 00:02:18,710
We'll connect a function, get that character.

37
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:21,410
And then when that character dies.

38
00:02:21,410 --> 00:02:22,550
So character.

39
00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:26,450
And we'll get the humanoid and listen to its died event.

40
00:02:27,610 --> 00:02:34,060
The one we can go ahead and do is refer to the player, access their leader stats folder and inside

41
00:02:34,060 --> 00:02:35,080
of their leader stats folder.

42
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,820
We can get deaths and then we can set the value plus equal to one.

43
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:45,130
And just like that, we've already set up a basic leaderboard for all the players in our game and it

44
00:02:45,130 --> 00:02:47,110
should increment when our player dies.

45
00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:48,880
So let's go ahead and test that out.

46
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,300
So we can hop into our game.

47
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:55,880
There's our leaderboard for kills, deaths and money.

48
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:01,280
And then if I go ahead and reset my character, as you can see, deaths incremented by one and then

49
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,040
it'll stay there on my leaderboard, I can go spawn in my game again and I'll go and reset again.

50
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,380
And as you can see, it increments to two.

51
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:15,020
So now that we have our leaderboard complete and the next lecture, we're going to take a look at how

52
00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:19,910
to save some of the data in our leaderboard into a data store so we can grab that data when a player

53
00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:22,070
joins our game in a future session.

54
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:23,270
See you there.
