Amazing what a few months of learning does. Cant wait to implement this. Your tutorials have helped me learn alot and come pretty far.

Great tutorial! I mostly prefer video's explaining something rather than a text, so I was happy to see that you made this video!

He's alive :D. Thanks for making epic tutorials!

Really good tutorial. Thanks for doing this! Also, good to know you are back!

TYSM for making this tutorial!! I was having a ton of trouble understanding how to properly grab the player data once it was loaded, lol.

the hero came back when i finally got back into scripting... you are a god man (: no seriously, this is detailed as hell. i wish i could do more to support you.

Never seen your channel until now, good work pal

I finally understanted this code after 2 days (not saying u explain badly you did well without this I would never had learned profile service this fast thx)

Hey okeanskiy! Thanks a lot for this tutorial, you're like the Brackeys of Roblox! Keep it up! -Cheers, Yellow

Thanks for the tutorial, this visually explains how this works! Honestly, just reading the profile service github page wasn't enough for me to actually understand how it works.

I don't get it, the whole thing works but sometimes I get nil values back from the module script. I'm reading and writing from the DataManager multiple times, is that a bad thing?

He is Alive!!!!

Is there a particular reason why your datastore is in replicated storage where exploiters can see and manipulate it?

The concept is good, everything is fine except because using it if there are things safer than it. It is also not very effective to detect players with a part. Same very good video.

I'm having a problem where profileservice will fail to load is there a way to force it to keep trying until it succeeds?

is there a way to get player profile when that player is not in the server? i want to make ban and unban system

Great video bro

broo this so epic!!

When you were making this was the server shutdown in profileservice? I'm working on a playtime script and trying to access one of my values but it says BindToClose can only be called on the server.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ANOTHER ONEEEEEE

Does profile service auto update the data when I change any value inside the profile.Data?

EDIT: Fixed! I was calling the GetProfileStore() function with a colon instead of a dot which adds the self parameter... Hello! Awesome tutorial, but i am encountering a really odd error which stops every other script that uses the DataManager: "[profileservice]: missing or invalid "name" parameter " I tried debugging and it seems that the error occurs when the ProfileService.GetProfileStore() is called. Looking into the code for profile service and where it throws the error, i am only supposed to get this error when the first parameter is neither a string nor a table. But i have written that piece of code just as you did, and the parameter is clearly a string ( "Profile" ). do you have any idea what else could cause this error?

can this be used to save a players outfit they made once they rejoin the game?

if your money script do i have to do the os part or it is COMPLETLY optional

tha man is back awesome

i did everything right, no error scripts but when i walk onto the part i dont get anything, is there a way to fix this?

I need help when I try changing stat it goes back to original stat num how do I make that stop looping?

Does the auto saving also save the players position in the game?

One thing that confuses me is the fact you put a player joining/removing event inside of a the module script. I thought that events inside of module scripts can’t be fired itself, they can only be fired if a server or a client script calls it. I’ve tried doing player added/removing on a sample module script, but as expected, the event listener didn’t fire when I tried testing it.

Create a module function that returns player values, call the function from the script where you want it. Alternatively physical values can be stored somewhere just note to never update your data from the values only update the values from your data otherwise it’s easy to for exploiters to manipuslte

hey so what if i wanted to for example save how the player looks (Im making a demon slayer styled game and upon completion of a mission and outfit is change) does this do that and if so how also can i use this to save player tools and skills gained and again how would this be done?

@betrayedpickle291

You could have something like Hair1, Hair2, Shirt1, Shirt2, etc. Then save the names of the clothing item in the players profile ("Hair1", "Hair2", "Shirt1", "Shirt2"). Then when you load the profile, handle the data. So if they have Hair1 saved, then put Hair1 on the players body.

How do I write the MoneyPart I cant find it

I'm not a Lua guru or anything, and I'm not sure of how vulnerable these modules are to exploiters, but I figured it would be the safest to keep them in ServerScriptService instead of ReplicatedStorage so that the client can't access them, or know their methods. Since they cannot be modified from a client script in the first place I don't see much of a point in having them in replicated storage. Yes, they're open-sourced, but if they are in ServerScriptService an exploiter will not know what datastore service or module you're using, and therefore they have no way of exploiting it. Exploiters can see anything that is in ReplicatedStorage, but not ServerStorage or ServerScriptService.

Жыл бұрын

hey, so this happens when you add a new entry (like 'gems') to the profile template after a player already had some data. the template wont be copied if the profile already has data, so it still has the old template. to resolve this, you can either 1 - use the profile:Reconcile() function: madstudioroblox.github.io/ProfileService/api/#profilereconcile or 2 - do a nil check: (right after profile creation) if profile.data.gems == nil then profile.data.gems = template.gems end

How do we make it save the players tools?

how would you do multiple values?

How would you make the values of the Data readable in a local script?

yeah create a remote function that when invoked has a command and have a local script listening for it and then u can change a gui or something since u never want to handle data on the local scripts, then you can check each time if its owned when they joined for example if u had a sell button or something. Make sure to get the data from the module each time u call the remote so it can grab the data incase it has been changed or something to prevent for example double buying or something.

you'd need to use a module called ReplicaService. Remote events and functions don't work with ProfileService; the client will just get nil, so ReplicaService should be used with ProfileService if you plan on sending any data to the client.
