PlayerData SOMETIMES clone

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So in my game, when a player joins he has a folder that is copied inside of him,

problem is that it SOMETIMES clone and SOMETIMES dosen’t

when it doesn’t clone the output says:
“Infinite yield possible on Players.Speezy:WaitForChild(“PlayerData”)”

and also says:
“Not running script because past shutdown deadline (x9)”

I’ve been stuck at this for many weeks and it is slowing down my work a lot

Ive looked everywhere, yt, devforum, scriptinghelpers

This error has started to happen recently, in my other games i use a lot of similar scripts and theres no error there so idk what im doing wrong

Please help!

I can’t help you unless you provide your code.

#4

local DataStore2 = require(1936396537)

DataStore2.Combine(“MasterKey”, “Cash”)
local DefaultCash = 50

game:GetService(“Players”).PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

local Stats = script.PlayerData:Clone()
print("Cloned")
Stats.Parent = plr
print("yes1")
local Cash = DataStore2("Cash", plr)

print("yes2")

local function UpdateCash(cash)
	plr.PlayerData.Cash.Value = cash
end

print("yes3")

UpdateCash(Cash:Get(DefaultCash))

print("yes4")

end)

#5

it dosent even print anything, studio just dosent wanna run the line game:GetService(“Players”).PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

#6

Have you tried testing it in an actual game? PlayerAdded sometimes doesn’t work if the player is loaded in before a connection to PlayerAdded is made. I’ve had this problem recently as well, and my script worked fine in-game.

#7

okay let me try
although every time i wanna test something will i have to always publish and then try it out in a real server?

#8

ill test it 10 times and ill see if it works on all of my attempts

#9

as kampfkarren said do not require the id but get the latest module of the datastore2 and require that module

also enable api services and publish the game

#10

okay ill also try that thanks 30 chars

#11

so far ive tested it 4 times it worked on all of them

#12

Did you test it in-game or in-studio?

#14

Were there any other errors and did all of the prints run?

#16

yep i can confirm it works in game

#17

Alrighty, I’m glad I could help :+1:

#18

yeah wait

if i wanna add something to my game, do i always have to publish it and to try it in game,

that would be pretty slow imo

#19

okay thanks it seems to work but now theres still the error
“Not running script because past shutdown deadline (x9)”

studio crashes for like 20 seconds and then i can freely use studio again

#20
