    Amusedd Hello! Due to the score being updated so often, this would result in an overflow (too many strings). In order to avoid this, we can use SetValue and a label, since "score" doesn't change at all.
    Also, depending on the players joining and leaving, the label is also creating strings so deleting the element and recreating it each time isn't the greatest approach unless of course you add an overflow fix but these aren't always stable.
    I hope you understand what I have said, and here's the code to support what I'm talking about. Happy modding/playing!

    displayScore()
    {
    	self waittill("spawned_player");
    	self.scoreText = CreateFontString("Objective", 1.5);
    	self.scoretext setPoint("CENTER", "RIGHT", "CENTER", "RIGHT");
    	self.scoreText.label = &"^2Score: ^7";
    	while(true)
    	{
    		wait 0.25;
    		if(getplayers().size >= 5 && self.scoretext.alpha == 0)
    		{
    			self.scoretext FadeOverTime( 1 );
    			self.scoretext.alpha = 1;
    		}
    		else if(getplayers().size < 5 && self.scoretext.alpha >= 0)
    		{
    			self.scoretext FadeOverTime( 1 );
    			self.scoretext.alpha = 0;
    		}
    		else if(getplayers().size >= 5 && isDefined(self.scoretext))
    		{
    			self.scoretext SetValue(self.score);
    		}
    	}
    }

    GerardS0406 thank you so much, I've replaced the func in my post with yours, and gave you credit, not to familiar with T6 GSC.

      Be advise to everyone. I tried adding this on Zombies++ mod and seems to do a server overflow. If I add the old code. the overflow goes to the clients.

      Love the idea but can't use it 😞

        Thanks for letting us know, I use Z++ too and was going to add this at some point

          Fry how often does the server overflow occur?

            Updated the code, if you were having overflow errors try again, tho I can't confirm compatibility with Z++

              still crashes on my server around round 20 ish with the latest update. longer than before, but seems like it still doesn't work with z++. (or something else, because my servers are modded af)

              with this removed, can do 8 player origins games for 40+ rounds without issue.

              haven't attempted with nothing but this mod, though.

                INSANEMODE current theory is that any amount of functions that changes text on screen etc will get the client/server to crash, but since a lot of mods use the same/similar functions (code was inspired by multiple text changing scripts around on plutonium) you can only have so many before crashing.

                Best bet might be to just scratch the secondary score display and just print the player's score every time it changes, though i'm not sure how effective that would be.

                    Amusedd It worked very well with 7 players, until some of them exited the server. We were 4 again now, (the score still activated because in that same match we were 7, as i said) played until round 7 or 8, and then the server crashed :c Tested with Zombies ++ and others mods.

                      Could be crashing because the thread doesn't end on endgame or when the player disconnects. Try the script below.

                      displayScore()
                      {
                      	self endon( "disconnect" );
                      	level endon( "end_game" );
                      	self.scoreText = CreateFontString("Objective", 1.5);
                      	self.scoretext setPoint("CENTER", "RIGHT", "CENTER", "RIGHT");
                      	self.scoreText.label = &"^2Score: ^7";
                      	self.scoretext.alpha = 0;
                      	while(true)
                      	{
                      		self.scoretext SetValue(self.score);
                      		if(getplayers().size >= 5 && self.scoretext.alpha == 0)
                      		{
                      			self.scoretext FadeOverTime( 1 );
                      			self.scoretext.alpha = 1;
                      		}
                      		else if(getplayers().size < 5 && self.scoretext.alpha >= 0)
                      		{
                      			self.scoretext FadeOverTime( 1 );
                      			self.scoretext.alpha = 0;
                      		}
                      		wait 0.1;
                      	}
                      }
                      

                      Make sure to call the function in onPlayerConnected function (like below)

                      onplayerconnected()
                      {
                      	for ( ;; )
                      	{
                      		level waittill( "connected", player );
                      		player thread displayScore(); //add this line
                      	}
                      }

                          Cahz I worked perfectly! Thank you! I tested it today and no crashes. I used several mods, included Zombies++, for those who wanna use this on their servers 😄

                            }
                            

                            Make sure to call the function in onPlayerConnected function (like below)

                            onplayerconnected()
                            {
                            	for ( ;; )
                            	{
                            		level waittill( "connected", player );
                            		player thread displayScore(); //add this line
                            	}
                            }

                                  From someone who has zero experience messing around with dedicated servers, how can I add this into a plugin or something?
