Hello! i was wondering what is wrong with my script? im trying to save the givewarn function but nothing is working.
The datamanager
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ProfileService = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.ProfileService)
local BindableEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvents"):WaitForChild("SaidBadWord")
local ProfileStore = ProfileService.GetProfileStore(
"Player",
{
Warnings = 0;
Timemute = 0;
}
)
local Profiles = {}
local function GiveWarn(player, amount)
print("Working")
local data = Profiles[player]
if data ~= nil then
player.Values.Warnings.Value = player.Values.Warnings.Value + 1
else print(player .. ' was not found.') end
end
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
local profile = ProfileStore:LoadProfileAsync(
"Player_"..player.UserId,
"ForceLoad"
)
if profile then
profile:ListenToRelease(function()
Profiles[player] = nil
player:Kick()
end)
if player:IsDescendantOf(Players) then
Profiles[player] = profile
GiveWarn()
else
profile:Release()
end
else
player:Kick()
end
end
local function onPlayerRemoving(player)
local profile = Profiles[player]
if profile then
profile:Release()
end
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(onPlayerRemoving)
BindableEvent.Event:Connect(GiveWarn(1))
local DataManager = {}
function DataManager:Get(player)
local profile = Profiles[player]
if Profiles[player] then
return profile.Data
end
end
return DataManager
My output
10:55:40.828 [ProfileService]: Roblox API services available - data will be saved - Server - ProfileService:2307
10:55:41.280 Working - Server - DataManager:16
10:55:41.280 ReplicatedStorage.DataManager:20: attempt to concatenate nil with string
The else line here will error if player is nil because you can’t concatenate a nil value with a string so I recommend replacing the print function with this
print("data was not found.")
Then, you run the GiveWarn function argument without passing any arguments, causing an error on the print function as i said earlier
Having a strange issue where sometimes the updates just get lost in thin air – I’d send an update to an alt account, get the alt account to join and leave the game to test, and the update just never gets registered.
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I’m also positive I’m implementing it the way it’s supposed to be implemented.
Edit: Realized the global update could be getting resolved whilst the alt is not in game (is this possible?)
Hello there!
I’m trying out this module and using the “Basic code example” and i just changed some printings and names, and put an return Profiles at the end.
Now, i tried setting a leaderstats value to Profiles[player].Data.Money but even though studio detects it exists, when i try testing it it says: Tried to index nil with Data.
local Profiles = require(game.ServerScriptService.EpikProfileManager) --Profiles is the table where i store the profile lol
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Parent = player
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
local Money = Instance.new("IntValue")
Money.Parent = leaderstats
Money.Name = "Money"
Money.Value = Profiles[player].Data.Money --This is the error line. Tried to index nil with Data?
I would be grateful if anyone told me why this isn’t working.
PD: I tried getting help in a Scripting Support topic but nobody helped
Put very simply, ProfileService is a module that you use for saving player data. Some benefits of it are that you can have session locking (presumably to prevent item duplication and other things I believe), and DS2 support. (Backups/versioning in case your players lose their data / have issues with data).
If you’re new to scripting, I suggest checking out this playlist by AlvinBlox on how to code. You can watch this video for a tutorial on how to use ProfileService.
Hey, I used one of y’alls samples and the listentorelease is kicking the player. I’m new to ProfileService, what does this mean?
function metaData:add(player, tester)
local profile = profileservice:LoadProfileAsync("Player_" .. player.UserId)
if profile ~= nil then
profile:AddUserId(player.UserId);
profile:Reconcile()
profile:ListenToRelease(function()
player:Kick("listentorelease")
end)
if player:IsDescendantOf(game.Players) then
data[player] = profile;
else
profile:Release();
end
else
player:Kick("not nil")
end
return data[player].Data;
end```
Whats the maximum load time when NOT using :ListenToHopReady()? Im considering sacrificing faster load times for teleport failure handling.
Before teleporting, you release the profile and call :ListenToHopReady(), and then teleport. But if the teleport fails, you are stuck with a released profile. Loading the profile again after every teleport failure doesnt seem like a good idea.
So I wanted to just remove the part where the profile gets released and listens to hop ready, and just teleport immediately, leaving the PlayerRemoved connection to release the profile.
I guess thats a good point, but I dont think its that simple.
I didnt mention it in my original reply, but my game has a server list, so you can pick which server you want to join. What if the server is full and you try to join? It would just keep infinitely retrying. Or what if the server shuts down by the time you try to join it?
I removed the :ListenToHopReady(), removed the part that released the profile before teleporting, and set the profile data to random numbers while it was active.
When teleporting, it took no longer than 3 seconds to load the profile, and it seems to load your data correctly as well.
So it seems like this is safe to do, but I dont know what would happen on a larger scale though, with more players.
Is it alright if I save their data into their profile table right when they leave? This might be unreliable or whatever but it worked perfect when my game peaked 2k players and now when I average around 500-600.
