Leaderstats not updating (ProfileService)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

Hey,

I made a house purchase system, and when I buy a house, the money is deducted as shown in the console output. However, it doesn’t update in the leaderstats.

I have a part with a prompt that gives me coins, and that update does show on the leader stats. But when money is deducted, it doesn’t update there.

Could someone help me break this down and better understand what the issue is?

All the following scripts are located here:

Datamanager Module Script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local serverScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local modules = serverScriptService:WaitForChild("Modules")

local ProfileService = require(modules:WaitForChild("ProfileService"))
local template = require(script:WaitForChild("Template"))
local leaderstats = require(script:WaitForChild("Leaderstats"))

local datakey = "_DataStore"
local profileStore = ProfileService.GetProfileStore(datakey, template).Mock

local dataManager = {}
dataManager.Profiles = {}

function dataManager.GetProfile(player)
	if not player:IsDescendantOf(Players) then return end

	local profile = dataManager.Profiles[player]
	while profile == nil do
		profile = dataManager.Profiles[player]
		task.wait()
	end
	return profile
end

local function PlayerAdded(player: Player)
	local profile = profileStore:LoadProfileAsync("Player_"..player.UserId)
	
	if profile ~= nil then
		profile:AddUserId(player.UserId)
		profile:Reconcile()
		
		profile:ListenToRelease(function()
			dataManager.Profiles[player] = nil
			player:Kick()
		end)
		
		if player:IsDescendantOf(Players) then
			dataManager.Profiles[player] = profile
			leaderstats:Create(player, profile)
		else
			profile:Release()
		end
	else
		player:Kick()
	end 
end

local function PlayerRemoving(player: Player)
	local profile = dataManager.Profiles[player]
	
	if profile ~= nil then
		profile:Release()
	end
end

for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
	task.spawn	(PlayerAdded, player)
	
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(PlayerRemoving) 

return dataManager

Leaderstats Module:

local module = {}

function module:Create(player: Player, profile)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	
	local coin = Instance.new("IntValue")
	coin.Name = "Coin"
	coin.Value = profile.Data.Coin
	coin.Parent = leaderstats
end

return module

Template Module:

local template = {
	Coin = 0,
}

return template

Playerdata Script:

require(script.Parent:WaitForChild("Modules"):WaitForChild("DataManager"))

ProfileService does not automatically update the leaderstats folder for you. You have to manually set it. for example:

profile.Data.Cash -= 100
player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = profile.Data.Cash

I cannot believe that was the issue. Thanks! :smiley:

I did have to adjust it to this because I already defined the cost up top

	profile.Data.Coin = profile.Data.Coin - COST
	player.leaderstats.Coin.Value = profile.Data.Coin
