Profileservice setting data as nil?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! I’ve decided to use profilservice for the first time to help prevent duping in my game and dataloss and its ease of use.

Im struggling with the fact its setting my cash data as nil. Does anyone know why this is??

local ProfileService = require(script.ProfileService)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local ProfileTemplate = {
	Cash = 0,
	Rebirths = 0
}
local ProfileStore = ProfileService.GetProfileStore(
	"Playera",
	ProfileTemplate
)

local Profiles = {}

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local profile = ProfileStore:LoadProfileAsync("Player_"..Player.UserId)
	profile:AddUserId(Player.UserId)
	profile:Reconcile()
	
	if profile then
		profile:ListenToRelease(function()
			Profiles[Player] = nil
			Player:Kick("Kicked to prevent dataloss")
		end)
		if Player:IsDescendantOf(Players) then
			Profiles[Player] = profile
		else
			profile:Release()
		end
	else
		Player:Kick("Error loading profile, Kicked to prevent dataloss")
	end
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
	local profile = Profiles[Player]
	if profile then
		profile:Release()
	end
end)


local DataHandler = {}

function DataHandler:Get(Player)
	local profile = Profiles[Player]
	
	if profile then return profile end
end


return DataHandler

local ProfileStore = ProfileService.GetProfileStore(
	"Playera",
	ProfileTemplate

local Profiles = {}

function PlayerJoined(Player)
   	local profile = ProfileStore:LoadProfileAsync("Player_"..Player.UserId)
	profile:AddUserId(Player.UserId)
	profile:Reconcile()
	
	if profile then
		profile:ListenToRelease(function()

			Player:Kick("Kicked to prevent dataloss")
		end)
		if Player:IsDescendantOf(Players) then
			Profiles[Player] = profile
		else
			profile:Release()
		end
	else
		Player:Kick("Error loading profile, Kicked to prevent dataloss")
	end 
end

for _, Player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
    task.spawn(PlayerJoined, Player)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerJoined)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
	local profile = Profiles[Player]
	if profile then
		profile:Release()
	end
end)


local DataHandler = {}

function DataHandler:Get(Player)
	local profile = Profiles[Player]
	
	if profile then return profile end
end

I still get the same error when trying to add values…

Heres a simple script that im using to test it

local DataHandler = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.DataHandler)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	while true do
		wait(1)
		local Data = DataHandler:Get(Player)
		if Data then
			Data.Cash += 500
			print(Data.Cash)
		else
			print("Data not loaded yet")
		end
	end
end)

Instead of returning the profile do return profile.Data

Works, thank you for your help it was the .Data
