Before GUIs were implemented, the player list would appear in the upper right. It becomes a leaderboard if a player has leaderstats.
Now that GUIs are implemented, the fact that the list is always in the upper right is an annoyance. Remove this list from the upper right and replace it with a new object type "Leaderboard". The leaderboard's position can be adjusted, but size is locked. The leaderboard must have and maintain the aspect ratio it currently has, but have one value "Scale" that can be used to make it smaller or larger. You can also make it visible or invisible like other GUI elements. This would help if, for example, the current leaderboard position is too interfering. The maker could move it, or make it so you have to press a button to reveal the leaderboard. For example, move the leaderboard to the upper middle and make a tiny button that makes the leaderboard appear/disappear when clicked.
As well, the chat (which shows what people recently said in chat) can also interfere with what the maker wants to do with GUI. Currently, it is in the upper left corner. There should be no chat at all by default, and a new object added "Chat". The position of the chat can be adjusted, but the chat cannot be sized in any way. For example, you could move the chat to near the lower left corner so that you can put something else in the upper left without it being obscured.
Note that if the playerlist/leaderboard and chat didn't appear by default, advanced makers could make a custom leaderboard or chat display and put more advanced things than currently allowed by the default leaderboard/chat. The novice makers can use the default leaderboard and chat GUI objects.
Also, when making a new place (with the New button in ROBLOX Studio), the default leaderboard/playerlist object and chat object would be found in the starter GUI in their current positions.
It would also be neat if the list of tools a player had could be moved/sized like this as well, by being a custom GUI object, but that is not as urgent as they are pretty neatly fould on the bottom of the screen. |
