Hello, im trying to check in my Profile Service Table if a certain value named “Fireball” exists, if so it prints it.
Here are the basics so far
local PlayerDataHandler = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("PlayerDataHandler"))
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
PlayerDataHandler:Get(player, "Spells")
local spells = PlayerDataHandler:Get(player, "Spells")
--if it's an array
if table.find(spells, "Fireball") then
print("The fireball exists!")
end
--if it's a dictionary and Fireball is the key
if spells["Fireball"] ~= nil then
print(spells["Fireball"])
end
Thanks for the code! I put it in my script but this popped up in the console “Infinite yield possible on ‘ServerScriptService:WaitForChild(“PlayerDataHandler”)’”
And it now says (having changed local PlayerDataHandler = require(game.ServerScriptService:WaitForChild(“PlayerDataHandler”)) to local PlayerDataHandler = require(game.ServerScriptService.PlayerDataHandler) ) “PlayerDataHandler is not a valid member of ServerScriptService “ServerScriptService””
And it nows says “Invalid Argument”
Basically, the issue is that PlayerDataHandler doesn’t exist inside ServerScriptService. This is your own code not mine so I can’t help with that unless I have more information about what PlayerDataHandler even is and where it is located.
Well, PlayerDataHandler is a Module script thats used to store values and datastore them too made with the Profile Service module. And it is indeed located in ServerScriptService
The fact WaitForChild yields means it was unable to find it within 5 seconds of waiting(the default wait time). So for the first 5 seconds of the game start the module isn’t there or at least not under ServerScriptService directly.
Perhaps you messed up the naming? Look if you have added any spaces or invisible characters after the module name, if so then remove them.
Hmm it seems like there is no spaces or invisibles characters. Here is the line i used to find it btw
Invalid argument in require means the argument/instance is nil. This means that the game can’t find the module instantly(I mention instantly here because you used FindFirstChild), try changing to WaitForChild and also ensure the string inside the require(PlayerDataHandler) is equal to the module name(no invisible spaces or anything).
Im gonna try to change it to WaitForChild. Perhaps it is because there is another module script in server script service
The other module has a different name so that has nothing to do with it.
Have an idea why this happens?
I put the local script in starter gui would it be linked to the problem?
Ah its maybe because when i launch the game everything in server script service dissapears
That’s the issue, it should be a script not a local script, else it can’t see what the server sees(for example scripts under ServerScriptService) and thus thinks the module doesn’t exist.
