There have been a lot of questions lately on how to setup and get a leaderboard setup in a toy box.

The Disney Infinity team created a great resource document on the leaderboard process that can be found at the following link:

How to Create a Leaderboard

I was super surprised to hear they were added manually. Feel silly thinking it was automatic this whole time.

@mightygitis - hah I was just telling semerien the other day I strongly suspected it was a manual process - Too long a delay before those that got one got one, when they finally do, it resets the submission time bringing the level back to page one, too inconsistent: levels that met all the requirements didn't get one, levels that didn't meet them all did...

Now if the can fix the ordering: I was looking at one the other day, and there were two people tied for second place: one had 380pts, the other 420 - interesting tie. And ccrunner524 when playing my level on twitch tied for 3rd even though he had one less point than the other player. The same scores show up sorted correctly on the web version, but the console seems to have sorting issues - especially when displaying your placement the first time - but even when you don't get on the leaderboard.

Also interesting that you can't dominate a leaderboard the way you could on an arcade game - each player only appears once. Maybe its the anti thebaroness89 measures...

I knew it was manual when I tried to do a leaderboard but find it strange as not everyone would think of asking, especially ones not on here

Sorry if this is a dumb question... If you want a leader board does it have to be a toy box game?

One thing that isn't mentioned in the article Pirate Steven posted is the fact that you must use the Toy Box Game Maker and save your level as a Toy Box Game. Otherwise, it doesn't qualify for a Leader board.

I learned the hard way with my Hercules challenge box.

I sent a tweet stating they should update it to include the Toy Box Game maker because I followed the instructions and my level didn't qualify for a leader board...

We will see what happens :)
