Issues With ProfileService

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve recently installed ProfileService for my game because I don’t have that much time before I have to publish it and I need a DataStore. I set up everything properly using the tutorial but it just doesn’t work.

Here’s what’s in “Template”:

local module = {
	Data = {Coins = 0,
		Gems = 0,

		Level = 0,
		Exp = 0,

		QuestNum = 1,
		QuestInProgress = false,
		QuestStats = {
			MetPete = false,
			SticksCollected = 0,
			BoughtWire = false,
		},

		Boosts = {
			CoinsBoosts = 0,
			CoinsBoostsTime = 0,
			GemsBoosts = 0,
			GemsBoostsTime = 0,
		},

		Settings = {
			Music = true,
			SFX = true,
			World = true,
			Notifications = true,
			ShowBoosts = true,
			ShowLevel = true,
			LevelDisplay = "Round",
			ShowTime = true,
			TimeFormat = "24H",
			Weather = true,
			RealisticLighting = true,
			FancyTerrain = true,
		},

		Items = {
			FishingWire = 0,
			WateringCan = 0,
			Fertilizer = 0,
			Trails = {
				RedTrail = 0,
				OrangeTrail = 0,
				YellowTrail = 0,
				LimeTrail = 0,
				GreenTrail = 0,
				CyanTrail = 0,
				BlueTrail = 0,
				PinkTrail = 0,
				PurpleTrail = 0,
				BlueFadeTrail = 0,
			},
		},

		Updates = {
			Tutorial = true,
			BETA = false,
		},

		Codes = {
			Code1 = false,
			Code2 = false,
			Code3 = false,
		},
	}
}

return module

Here’s what’s in “Data”, the script that should make it work:

Are there any errors? Or is nothing happening at all?

No errors, absolutely nothing and the data just won’t save.

Maybe you could check, if the script runs at all? Try putting a print() command here somewhere, to see if it will be in the output.

It doesn’t print, what now? (chars)

#7

if you have already tried putting a print() command on this spot, without any reactions in the output, then I am afraid that I can’t really help, because I can’t think of what could be the problem. If it does print, then I might have an idea for a fix. It really should print on this line, because that’s where the script should start running, the other stuff above this line are local functions etc.

If it won’t print then I am confused.

Unfortunately still nothing, I really need this to work soon for my game. Ugh.

Hello.

From first observation there’s a couple of things I’d do differently here.

First off, on the PlayerAdded function I’d try to ForceLoad by replacing this:

local Profile = ProfileStore:LoadProfileAsync("Player_"..player.UserId)

with this:

local Profile = PlayerStore:LoadProfileAsync("Player_".player.UserId, "ForceLoad")

Second, can you use the DataStore editor plugin to confirm that stats are indeed not being saved? Incase the code is somewhat working and the issue is loading.

#10

DataStore editor costs $9.99 so I’m not buying that and adding “ForceLoad” did nothing.

#11

Is there any other way to figure it out? I used datastores before and they half worked because it only let me save a certain amount of value at the same time and that didn’t even work all the time. ProfileService is my one hope and that doesn’t work either!
