There’s one on GitHub made by another user iirc, just check the Github repo
just release it, people be craving for an update
how can i migrate my data to profile service? i’ve been using the traditional datastore and experiencing data loss
Definitely interested in the ReplicaService rewrite, even without documentation
I’m having an issue.
I’m using TeleportAsync to attempt to reconnect afk players prior to Roblox’s disconnect. I have my script set to release the players data, then I use ListenToHopReady as well as a small delay prior to teleporting. I’ve verified that :IsActive() is being set to false. When the player is rejoined to the same server, no problem. However, if the player is put into a different server LoadProfileAsync is returning nil indicating two servers attempting to access the profile. In the case that LoadProfileAsync returns nil, I have it set to reconnect players through TeleportAsync which seems to work fine.
What might I be doing wrong? Ideally I want to avoid this double teleport
ProfileService is no-longer supported or being updated, but I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this same problem.
Randomly last night starting around 7:30 PM 3 thousand errors over a period of 6 hours occurred relating to profile service.
I have not seen this error occur on any of my other experiences so it’s pretty bizarre. Thanks!
I’m also getting occasional errors loading data upon joining a place after a teleport
Hello, I am constantly getting an error (not in studio) that tells me that the profile is not existing.
I followed the youtube video given on the very top as a recommendation.
I personally do not get this issue in studio, but in the actual game many users seem to trigger this error.
The source code is pretty much like in the video in terms of getting / loading the actual data in.
I will provide source code to this post here later but does anyone have a idea why this could be?
Thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely, Sxato | Marv.
Source code:
local function added(Player)
dataTemplate = dataStructure.getStructure(Player)
local profileStore = PS.GetProfileStore("PlayerProfile", dataTemplate["Saveables"])
local profile
repeat
local success, errormsg = pcall(function()
profile = profileStore:LoadProfileAsync("TestPlayerProfile" .. Player.UserId)
end)
if not success then warn(errormsg) task.wait(1) end
until success
if profile then
profile:AddUserId(Player.UserId)
profile:Reconcile()
profile:ListenToRelease(function()
profiles[Player] = nil
Player:Kick()
end)
if not Player:IsDescendantOf(Players) then
profile:Release()
else
profiles[Player] = profile
end
else
Player:kick()
end
Player:SetAttribute("DataLoaded", true)
end
Can anyone confirm that this should work? Because for some reason my assert in another function is being triggered. The assert has the following in it:
assert(profiles[Player], string.format("Profile does not exist for: %s", Key)
any help is appreciated.
Hey, basically I have no idea what I’m doing, and just copy-pasted it from another one of my games where data saving works, but it doesn’t in this game.
Here’s my script. Can someone tell me what the issue is?
local ProfileTemplate = {
PlayerStats = {Kills = 0, Wins = 0, Level = 1, Exp = 0, Coins = 0},
Weapons =
{
WeaponStats = {EquippedKnife = "Classic", EquippedGun = "Classic", EquippedSword = "Classic"},
Knives = {Classic = 1, Bronze = 0, Silver = 0, Gold = 0, Platinum = 0, Lapis = 0, Obsidian = 0, Diamond = 0, Amethyst = 0, Ruby = 0, Emerald = 0, Turqoise = 0, Flame = 0, Frost = 0, Shadow = 0, Lunar = 0, Supernova = 0, Void = 0},
Guns = {Classic = 1, Bronze = 0, Silver = 0, Gold = 0, Platinum = 0, Lapis = 0, Obsidian = 0, Diamond = 0, Amethyst = 0, Ruby = 0, Emerald = 0, Turqoise = 0, Flame = 0, Frost = 0, Shadow = 0, Lunar = 0, Supernova = 0, Void = 0},
Swords = {Classic = 1, Bronze = 0, Silver = 0, Gold = 0, Platinum = 0, Lapis = 0, Obsidian = 0, Diamond = 0, Amethyst = 0, Ruby = 0, Emerald = 0, Turqoise = 0, Flame = 0, Frost = 0, Shadow = 0, Lunar = 0, Supernova = 0, Void = 0}

session locking should solve pretty much all of the issue from the datastore side. anything in another layer in on you of course
this could be a race condition
your code might check for the profile before the profile is loaded! datastores aren’t immediate.
do some printing to see the order
usually when I used profileservice I’d have an extra wrapper for it with Signals and :WaitFor functions to deal with this and to overall simplify the use of profiles
Thanks for your response, I ended up yielding the Datastore with a “repeat until” so I do not let the system continue until the profile is there or the player is gone.
All I had to do was change the name of one variable! I love scripting
