Okay so I spent 20k robux to hire a scripter and now hes ignoring me. I have no lua experience however I need to fix a bug where when you rejoin a game with other players your ingame slime is unable to grow.
are these scripts whats causing it?

In that first picture you sent, the leaderstats doesn’t even exist when the player joins. So you need to create the leaderstats with the function you created in the second picture (just copy that function over to script in the first pic) then create the leaderstats with it before waiting for it
If you have no lua experience then you can go to youtube and watch some tutorials ig, they’re quite good for starters

could definitely be an issue with the scripter having not adding any datastores.
the purpose of those datastores?
restore the slimes data and xp so that it’s able to grow.
what it seems like to me is that since the game didn’t save the slimes data, when it rejoins it has to start from 0 again. if the slimes size is too large then it’ll take a while to climb back up to where you were.
sorry this happened, make sure to always make sure the scripted you hire is trusted in the community and has fulfilled multiple jobs before.
being a intermediate scripter myself, I can’t see a fix to the code. hopefully someone else here can do that work for me

She is using profile service which is a better alternative to data stores, so there’s no reason why it wouldn’t have saved unless its something to do with the syntax

oh. don’t understand that too well seeing as i still need to delve into those realms of scripting haha I get the gist though.
I see it in the code now

20k robux is overkill. You don’t even need to spend that much just for a scripter; a few thousand is fine. They were probably planning to scam you if they asked you for this much robux. Furthermore, don’t pay the entire robux straight away; pay like half of it once they’re doing with most of the code and the rest once they did their job.

You’re right, and I asked for a very simple game. Do u think roblox can refund me?
no. what’s done is done. if the scripter was already paid, it’s out of Roblox’s control. this is why, once more, make sure to always give a background check of who you hire.

Do not send a screenshot of your code. Post the entire thing if you can and I’ll be glad to help.
```lua
– your code
```
20k is definitely overkill if it’s something simple like data, but 20k for an entire game is entirely reasonable. I, along with many developers I know, have been hired for hundreds of thousands of R$ to work and maintain a game.

yes but leaving the game not fully functioning is just unfair.
I agree. Again, post the entire code and I’ll be happy to fix it for them.

roblox is unable to help with refunding any sort of transaction (thanks Roblox)
the scripts you have made appear to use bad practices (setting Parent the moment you create an Instance, etc.) but the errors seem to be coming from LocalScripts. Could you provide the code from the local scripts that have caused these “Infinite yield” issues?

This is the code for “playerManager”
local playerData = require(game.ServerScriptService.PlayerData.manager)
local mps = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local size = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Slime Size")
local xpValue = Instance.new("IntValue")
xpValue.Name = "xpValue"
xpValue.Parent = player
local xpGoal = Instance.new("IntValue")
xpGoal.Name = "xpGoal"
xpGoal.Parent = player
local maxSize = Instance.new("NumberValue")
maxSize.Name = "maxSize"
maxSize.Parent = player
maxSize.Value = 7.5
local profile = playerData.Profiles[player]
if not profile then
warn("Profile not found for player: " .. player.Name)
return
end
if mps:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, 895116240) or player.Name == "wxbd" then
profile.Data.Data.maxSize = 9
end
size.Value = profile.Data.Data.Slime
runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
xpValue.Value = profile.Data.Data.Experience
xpGoal.Value = profile.Data.Data.XpGoal
maxSize.Value = profile.Data.Data.maxSize * profile.Data.Data.maxSizeMulti
if xpValue.Value >= xpGoal.Value then
profile.Data.Data.Experience = xpValue.Value - xpGoal.Value
profile.Data.Data.Level += 1
profile.Data.Data.XpGoal += 500
leaderstats.Level.Value = profile.Data.Data.Level
game.ReplicatedStorage.events.playSound:FireClient(player, "lvlUp")
end
local slime = workspace.slimes:FindFirstChild(player.Name .. "Slime")
if slime then
for _, part in pairs(slime:GetChildren()) do
if part:IsA("BasePart") then
local sizeMath = size.Value / 100
part.Size = part.Name == "PrimaryPart" and Vector3.new(sizeMath, sizeMath, sizeMath) or Vector3.new(sizeMath * 0.86, sizeMath * 0.86, sizeMath * 0.86)
part.Color = Color3.new(profile.Data.Data.SlimeColor.R, profile.Data.Data.SlimeColor.G, profile.Data.Data.SlimeColor.B)
end
end
end
end)
end)```And data
local template = require(script.Parent.template)
local profileService = require(game.ServerScriptService.ProfileService)
local manager = require(script.Parent.manager)
local profileStore = profileService.GetProfileStore("production", template)
local function giveLeaderstats(player: Player)
local profile = manager.Profiles[player]
if not profile then return end
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local size = Instance.new("NumberValue", leaderstats)
size.Name = "Slime Size"
size.Value = profile.Data.Data.Slime
local money = Instance.new("NumberValue", leaderstats)
money.Name = "Money"
money.Value = profile.Data.Data.Money
local level = Instance.new("NumberValue", leaderstats)
level.Name = "Level"
level.Value = profile.Data.Data.Level
end
local function playerAdded(player: Player)
local profile = profileStore:LoadProfileAsync("Player_" .. player.UserId)
profile:AddUserId(player.UserId)
profile:Reconcile()
profile:ListenToRelease(function()
manager.Profiles[player] = nil
player:Kick("data issue dm me")
end)
if player:IsDescendantOf(players) == true then
manager.Profiles[player] = profile
giveLeaderstats(player)
else
profile:Release()
end
end
for _, player in ipairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
task.spawn(playerAdded, player)
end
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(playerAdded)
players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player: Player)
local profile = manager.Profiles[player]
if not profile then return end
profile:Release()
end)```These are the codes where the infinite yield issues come from.
Experience manager:
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local xpStat = player:WaitForChild("xpValue")
local xpLbl = script.Parent.Frame.amtHolder.xpAmt
local displayedXp = 0
local targetXp = xpStat.Value
local function formatNumber(number)
return string.format("%0.0f", number):reverse():gsub("(%d%d%d)","%1,"):gsub(",(%-?)$", "%1"):reverse()
end
xpStat.Changed:Connect(function(newMoney)
script.Sound:Play()
targetXp = newMoney
end)
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function(deltaTime)
if displayedXp~= targetXp then
local increment = (targetXp - displayedXp) * 0.1
if math.abs(increment) < 1 then
increment = increment >= 0 and 1 or -1
end
displayedXp = displayedXp + increment
if math.abs(targetXp - displayedXp) < 1 then
displayedXp = targetXp
end
xpLbl.Text = formatNumber(displayedXp) .."/" .. player.xpGoal.Value
end
end)Can you also send me the scripts under
game → ServerScriptService → PlayerData → manager
and your template module
Edit: this doesn’t seem like the right category for this conversation. Can you send me the information through messages instead.
