memorystore service issue

[olive wing]

i am receiving different values each time i readasync for memory store queue...
help

i should be receiving no values

[ebon parcel]

bro

it might be not showing errors bc ur pcalls are catching them hold on

is this a server script

[olive wing]

no it is in startergui

[ebon parcel]

ok

[olive wing]

i can remove pcall

[ebon parcel]

use a remote event

or better yet

change it all from server

fixed it

[olive wing]

now output is 1

[ebon parcel]

do this as a server script

while task.wait(1) do
    local memstore = game:GetService("MemoryStoreService")
    local queuename = game.JobId.."GenQueue"
    local queue = memstore:GetQueue(queuename)
    print("check 1")
    local data = queue:ReadAsync(10, false, 2)

    local temparr = {}
    local truecount = 0

    if data then
        for i = 1, #data do
            if table.find(temparr, tostring(data[i])) == nil then
                print("ind: "..tostring(i).." val: "..tostring(data[i]))
                table.insert(temparr, tostring(data[i]))
                truecount += 1
            end

            queue:RemoveAsync(data[i])

        end
    end

    for i, v in pairs (game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
        local label = v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("TextLabel") -- Make this the path to your own text label
        label.Text = 'Generators Active: '..tostring(truecount)
    end
end

and i recommend

[olive wing]

thats not broken part

[ebon parcel]

setting the third parameter of data;ReadAsync

to a low value

it works for me

[olive wing]

if it is in a pcall it doesnt need waitforchild

[ebon parcel]

i replaced the local script with this server script in serverscript service and it works

[olive wing]

third parameter is timeout

[ebon parcel]

ik

no it isnt

[olive wing]

it means if too low it wont receive data

readsync third param is timeout in seconds

[ebon parcel]

its how long it waits if it doesnt have enough

but like

[olive wing]

its how long it takes until it gives up waiting

[ebon parcel]

yeah but 20 seconds is pretty long for a text gui that is updating every second and needs 10 values

[olive wing]

if you timeout early then it wont get the data if latency is high

[ebon parcel]

even if it's server-sided?

nvm

[olive wing]

updating every second prevents mass calls

instead of less than a second

its supposed to only have a maximum of three values. my removeasync is not working properly to cull the duplicate values from the queue

[ebon parcel]

ok

[olive wing]

it is receiving values but it is behaving even more strangely than before

[ebon parcel]

i just tested this and it worked for me

local memstore = game:GetService("MemoryStoreService")
local queuename = game.JobId.."GenQueue"
local queue = memstore:GetQueue(queuename)



for i=1, 10, 1 do
    queue:AddAsync("hi", 10, i)
end

while task.wait(1) do
    local data = queue:ReadAsync(10, false, .1)

    local temparr = {}
    local truecount = 0

    if data then
        for i = 1, #data do
            if not(table.find(temparr, tostring(data[i]))) then
                print("ind: "..tostring(i).." val: "..tostring(data[i]))
                table.insert(temparr, tostring(data[i]))
                truecount += 1
            end

            queue:RemoveAsync(data[i])

        end
    end

    for i, v in pairs (game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
        local label = v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("TextLabel") -- Make this the path to your own text label
        label.Text = 'Generators Active: '..tostring(truecount)
    end
end

it only printed hi once

nvm

weird

[olive wing]

now you see

freaky behaviour

the cull nest must be wrong

[ebon parcel]

no i think it just caught it before the last hi deleted bc hi was third in queue idk

bc after that it didnt print anything else

meaning all of them expired

bc queue is first in first out right?

local memstore = game:GetService("MemoryStoreService")
local queuename = game.JobId.."GenQueue"
local queue = memstore:GetQueue(queuename)



for i=1, 10, 1 do
    queue:AddAsync("hi", 10, i)
end

queue:AddAsync("hello", 10, 11)
queue:AddAsync("yo", 10, 12)

while task.wait(1) do
    local data = queue:ReadAsync(10, false, .1)

    local temparr = {}
    local truecount = 0

    if data then
        for i = 1, #data do
            if not(table.find(temparr, tostring(data[i]))) then
                print("ind: "..tostring(i).." val: "..tostring(data[i]))
                table.insert(temparr, tostring(data[i]))
                truecount += 1
            end

            queue:RemoveAsync(data[i])

        end
    end

    for i, v in pairs (game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
        local label = v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("TextLabel") -- Make this the path to your own text label
        label.Text = 'Generators Active: '..tostring(truecount)
    end
end

this is what i tested

I think its just bc queue is first in first out and it caught it at that specific moment i will add "x added/removed" print statements to see

[olive wing]

yes maybe it is something odd with the queue. currently i am treating it like a list

yes do that

WAIT

i done it

nvm

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS MEMORYSTORE

bro this is seriously messing with my head

[ebon parcel]

need an else probably that removes clones

[olive wing]

it is

[ebon parcel]

it is bc the repeats stayed in the queue and were added after one was removed

[olive wing]

how

i want nothing to be returned by the readasync

it is still reading items in the queue after iterating through all and removing them

[ebon parcel]

oh its last in first out

[olive wing]

bro

it is saying there is nothing in the queue and then the next iteration is has everything existing in the queue

clearly nothing is being removed

[ebon parcel]

it resets

bc data is defined inside the loop

[olive wing]

data is defined by the loop

it iterates through each item

[ebon parcel]

made it work i think

[olive wing]

showw

[ebon parcel]

only thing is when data has nothing in the table it prints as nil i think thats just how it shows up

local memstore = game:GetService("MemoryStoreService")
local queuename = game.JobId.."GenQueue"
local queue = memstore:GetQueue(queuename)
local pastarr = {}


for i=1, 10, 1 do
    queue:AddAsync("hi", 10, i)
end

queue:AddAsync("hello", 10, 11)
queue:AddAsync("yo", 10, 12)

while task.wait(1) do
    local data = queue:ReadAsync(10, false, .1)
    print(data)

    --local preserved = {}

    --for i, v in pairs(data) do
    --    table.insert(preserved, i, v)
    --end

    local temparr = {}
    local truecount = 0

    if data then
        for i = 1, #data do
            if data[i] then
                if not(table.find(temparr, tostring(data[i]))) then
                    print("ind: "..tostring(i).." val: "..tostring(data[i]))
                    table.insert(temparr, tostring(data[i]))
                    truecount += 1
                    print("Removing "..data[i])
                    queue:RemoveAsync(data[i])
                else
                    print("Duplicate found! "..tostring(data[i]))
                    queue:RemoveAsync(data[i])
                    table.remove(data, i)


                end
            end


        end

        for index=1, #pastarr, 1 do
            if not(table.find(data, pastarr[index])) then
                print(pastarr[index].." was removed")
            end
        end
        pastarr = {}
        for i, v in pairs(temparr) do
            table.insert(pastarr, v)
        end
    end
    
    for i, v in pairs (game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
        local label = v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("TextLabel") -- Make this the path to your own text label
        label.Text = 'Generators Active: '..tostring(truecount)
    end

end

[olive wing]

does it repeat the value?

after?

mine seems to result in "nil" "items... removed" "nil" "items... removed"

it oscillates

[ebon parcel]

mine just repeats nil bc of this

    local data = queue:ReadAsync(10, false, .1)
    print(data)

[olive wing]

once all duplicates are remove will it remove them again later?

[ebon parcel]

i just fixed this thing where the duplicates that came after all data was deleted just now by moving temp array outside

[olive wing]

this is the code now

why am i getting nil, values, nil, values

[ebon parcel]

idk

[olive wing]

im gonna have a seizure

wat

the

istg

how is it oscillating

[ebon parcel]

local memstore = game:GetService("MemoryStoreService")
local queuename = game.JobId.."GenQueue"
local queue = memstore:GetQueue(queuename)
local pastarr = {}


for i=1, 10, 1 do
    queue:AddAsync("hi", 10, i)
end

queue:AddAsync("hello", 10, 11)
queue:AddAsync("yo", 10, 12)

local add_value = coroutine.wrap(function()
    task.wait(15)
    queue:AddAsync("howdy", 10, 13)
    queue:AddAsync("e", 10, 14)
    queue:AddAsync("well", 10, 15)
end)
add_value()

local temparr = {}

while task.wait(1) do
    local data = queue:ReadAsync(10, false, .1)
    --print(data)

    --local preserved = {}

    --for i, v in pairs(data) do
    --    table.insert(preserved, i, v)
    --end


    local truecount = 0
    --print(temparr)
    
    if data then
        for i = 1, #data do
            if data[i] then
                if not(table.find(temparr, tostring(data[i]))) then
                    print("ind: "..tostring(i).." val: "..tostring(data[i]))
                    table.insert(temparr, tostring(data[i]))
                    truecount += 1
                    print("Removing "..data[i])
                    queue:RemoveAsync(data[i])
                else
                    print("Duplicate found! "..tostring(data[i]))
                    queue:RemoveAsync(data[i])
                    table.remove(data, i)


                end
            end


        end

        --for index=1, #pastarr, 1 do
        --    if not(table.find(data, pastarr[index])) then
        --        --print(pastarr[index].." was removed")
        --    end
        --end
        pastarr = {}
        for i, v in pairs(temparr) do
            table.insert(pastarr, v)
        end
    end
    
    for i, v in pairs (game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
        local label = v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("TextLabel") -- Make this the path to your own text label
        label.Text = 'Generators Active: '..tostring(truecount)
    end

end

i commented out the prints

there is a coroutine that i used for testing'

[olive wing]

if i am getting oscillating values then i dont know if anything can save me

[fast harbor]

** You are now Level 6! **

[olive wing]

what folder did you place your script in

[ebon parcel]

i just put it in serverscriptservice

[olive wing]

okay same

so if you do what i did. do your values oscillate too?

[ebon parcel]

but one flaw i noticed is that my script will not let a value repeat at all if it sees it once so u cant ever use the same value twice

lemme see

[olive wing]

if your values dont oscillate with this code then im gonna cry

[ebon parcel]

i dont have any values in tho

[olive wing]

i dont either

[ebon parcel]

oh ok

im just getting nil

[olive wing]

i just spawn and suddenly i have data in the queue

[olive wing]

yeah i get nil at first and the next one is data

then nil then data

like wtf have i done

there is literally no code to add data

[ebon parcel]

lol try changing the name of the store

[olive wing]

alright

now its nil

if i add and remove data now i wonder if the same thing occurs

[ebon parcel]

ik memory store or whatever persists across servers at the same time and thats why its used so thats probably why u had alternating results

[olive wing]

i am on roblox studio there should only be one instance

unless collaberator mode messes with the instances

it works now

with my code

[ebon parcel]

hooray

🤞 pray it keeps working

[olive wing]

lowered timeout like you recommended

i wonder if it works in startergui

or maybe

maybe i leave it in server and use firstchild

im steal some of ur codes

hehe

[ebon parcel]

lol ok

imagine ur whole thing just stops working 😅

[olive wing]

bro

[ebon parcel]

...

[olive wing]

just needed an extra waitforchild

since i used a screengui parent for textlabel

SIUUUU

it works

[ebon parcel]

party time

[olive wing]

not YET

[ebon parcel]

aaaaa

[olive wing]

that is only the storing of values

i still need to implement the mechanism of what the player sees. that was only the back end

atleast now

it is most likely exploit proof

and it is actually pretty fast :3

[ebon parcel]

well party time for me bc i can finally go do my chores so my parents dont get mad at me

cya 👍

[olive wing]

yes yes

thank you

how to close thread

[ebon parcel]

no idea

[olive wing]

same
