I have a question about the migration process from ProfileService to ProfileStore. I want to migrate my game from ProfileService to ProfileStore but I am not sure what to do about the MetaTags because I’m not sure if those get transferred over but I’m assuming they don’t due to MetaTag support being dropped.
I was planning to change all the areas where it checks for a MetaTag in profile.MetaData.MetaTags ( profile:GetMetaTag() ) and just have them check for the MetaTag in profile.Data because I’m planning to just make a table in profile.Data which is basically just the MetaTags table.
I have this gift system that changes a bool value from the to gift player data, if that data is released from the server I call it, but if I call it and this player is in another server it breaks, Is there a work-around?
this can happen if the player
Choose to_Gift
Promted
to_Gift joined another server
Bought
– error since the profile is called on another server and I can’t change the data
Currently my team and I are working on a game in which we want to store a ton of player data. We had some concerns regarding storing that much data to a single key, so we are thinking about implementing a system that uses multiple Profiles for the same player. Is this a necessary precaution in your opinion?
Essentially it’s 5-6 different profiles, one for each general umbrella of data we want to store (i.e. “stats”, “general data”, “inventory”). We then call StartSessionAsync for each of those profiles and then compile the Profile.Data from each of those into a single larger table.
Yeah, it probably isn’t neccecary. You could probably just use different tables and subtables. Don’t really know how this would work in ProfileStore, but I think it’s possible since I did almost the same thing using profileservice.
Just provide additional information Datastore Data limit
Data (key value) 4,194,304 per key
a key can hold about 4mb worth of string data
unless your game is about building a lot of stuffs like minecraft voxels or serializing custom images, you should be able to hold player data in a single profile
Hey all, it’s been some time and it seems like the GitHub is relatively inactive, is this because ProfileStore is seemingly stable at this point? Currently in the process of doing a data migration and would will probably use ProfileStore. Is ProfileStore currently being used in very popular games and have they reported its reliability? From what I’ve read in this post, some people have had no issues with it but I’m unsure if there are popular games using it at this moment. Thank you!
Hi, I wanted to implement the dev product game into my game, but I also have gifting of dev product. is there any way you would make it works for gifting ?
Hello sorry for late reply, but cant you just add a getpropertychangedsignal to each value and when it changes change the profile.data and that way it keeps the autosaves?
like couldnt u do something like this?
function ProfileSetup(Player, Profile)
local PlayerFolder = Instance.new'Folder';
PlayerFolder.Name = 'Data';
PlayerFolder.Parent = Player;
UtilityModule.TableToObject(Profile.Data, PlayerFolder);
for _, V in PlayerFolder:GetChildren() do
if V:IsA'Folder' then
for _, V2 in V:GetChildren() do
V2:GetPropertyChangedSignal'Value':Connect(function()
if Profile and Profile.Data and Profile.Data[V2.Name] then
Profile.Data[V2.Name] = V2.Value;
end
end)
end
continue
end
V:GetPropertyChangedSignal'Value':Connect(function()
if Profile and Profile.Data and Profile.Data[V.Name] then
Profile.Data[V.Name] = V.Value;
end
end)
end
end
