How can I share data between places?

[Omnipotent_Corrupted (red)]

1. What do you want to achieve? I wish to know how I can share data between related places using the new ProfileStore library. For example, I have the game called “Game”, and I want all the places inside that game, such as “Place1,” “Place2,” and “Place3,” to share the same data between them and the main game.

2. What is the issue? The issue is that I don’t know how I could do that. If I were using DataStore to store players’ data, it would come more easily, but I’m using ProfileStore, which is different.

3. What solutions have you tried so far? I already tried learning TeleportService, but I don’t know if it would work with ProfileStore. Maybe passing the “profile” through LocalPlayerData? I don’t know.

Any help comes out good. Thanks in advance !

ProfileService Tutorial!

If you don’t save user data with ProfileService or DataStore2, then you’re saving data wrongly (unless you’ve taken proper steps to making a secure data store). I wanted to make this tutorial because I had to figure out how to use Profile Service, and it was hard. But in this tutorial, it won’t be, because you’re not figuring this out on your own. Why can’t I just setup my own data store? Well, the issue with that is it’ll take up so much valuable time. There’s so much research and experience…

The post just tell us how ProfileService (which is not ProfileStore) works. I’m figuring out how can I share the player’s profile from place to place inside an experience. Example:

local Game = {"Place1", "Place2", "Place3", "Place4"}

If a user joins Place4, the data shared from all places will be set, and the player will spawn with their Profile, including Profile.Data.

How can I do that?

I don’t think ProfileService cares about what place you’re in. Each place shares the same data store for that experience.

Is that true? Does that mean profileStore uses GlobalDataStore to work?

[Omnipotent_Corrupted (red)]

Or is that because places inside a game basically share the same data store?

[wiremass (wire)]

GlobalDataStore isn’t any more capable of sharing data between places than a named data store. Every data store within a game is accessible to all of its places.

Yes.

Thanks; this really helped me! I was afraid it couldn’t be possible to share data between places, but now I understand.
