FIX
The data was being reverted due to the fact that when I changed the data, it was detected with the Heartbeat function and reverted back right before the server truly closed.
TIP
When trying to test :BindToClose() in the main game, try using the Migrate feature to test if it works. When migrating, the game will freeze for a second when it's already closed, therefore showing what is happening while the server is closing.

could we see the code you could be messing something up there

if data.Data.MainServer == game.JobId then
data.Data.MainServer = 0
end```
Here's what's inside of it. Just some data stuff
tired badge
```lua
if data.Data.MainServer == game.JobId then
data.Data.MainServer =...
can we see the whole function (declaration) and the context where it is called
strange inlet
```lua
if data.Data.MainServer == game.JobId then
data.Data.MainServer =...
include the bindtoclose?
strange inlet
can we see the whole function (declaration) and the context where it is called
yes this we need context
untold wave
include the bindtoclose?
game:BindToClose(function()
if data.Data.MainServer == game.JobId then
data.Data.MainServer = 0
end
end)
called after the variables are declared and before any functions are done

how'd you test it

how do you know its not working
untold wave
how'd you test it
in game
untold wave
how do you know its not working
i have something that prints the MainServer data whenever you join the game
muted sail
bindtoclose runs when everyone leaves
untold wave
yes
Some context I'd like to add is it stopped working after I got kicked for being idle for 20 mins
muted sail
when u normally leave it works?
untold wave
yes
muted sail
you could just do Players.PlayerRemoving if #Players:GetPlayers() == 1 then blah blah
muted sail
wait so it works right now?
it doesnt work when u get disconnected from being idle
untold wave
wait so it works right now?
im trying to make a fix
since it stops working entirely and forever
unless i reset the data
strange inlet
try what kasper said
untold wave
hold on
but there's something called "CloseReason"
indicating that it can detect different ways of shutting down
untold wave
anyways, if it didn't count if someone was kicked, that's a major issue
muted sail
yes
untold wave
and why?
weird
for some reason I called an event and it's not working either
but the script is continuing
silver hound
```lua
game:BindToClose(function()
if data.Data.MainServer == game.JobId the...
whatever data.Data.MainServer is, it's just setting it to 0 if it is equal to game.jobid
untold wave
whatever data.Data.MainServer is, it's just setting it to 0 if it is equal to ga...
well yeah that's the point

hence once the server shuts down, unless you're saving something to a datastore, it's gonna revert back
untold wave
hm?
silver hound
if you have money = 50 and inside bind to close function you put money == 100
untold wave
oh yeah im using profilestore
silver hound
money will still be 50
untold wave
ik
silver hound
never used profilestore
untold wave
oh
silver hound
maybe your logic is wrong
untold wave
maybe your logic is wrong
well what the line is saying is "if the MainServer data is equal to the JobID, then you're going to set the data to 0"
muted sail
It's a studio thing, it works normally in roblox
untold wave
no i tested it in roblox
muted sail
I kicked myself and it ran the function
silver hound
well what the line is saying is "if the MainServer data is equal to the JobID, t...
setting the player data?
untold wave
i was saying the opposite side of the claim
untold wave
setting the player data?
yes
silver hound
well all i'm seeing is = 0
you're not calling the save function or whatever profile store has
it's just editing a variable
untold wave
oh yeah something else random is just fsr my game.PlayerAdded didn't work so I had to loop through the players when the script started. Roblox is dumb :/
untold wave
how do you know that bindtoclose didnt call
wdym
no i saw the ID
it prints the JOB id
muted sail
what if sm else is the problem like data.Data.MainServer is not game.JobId
silver hound
oh yeah something else random is just fsr my game.PlayerAdded didn't work so I h...
you're yielding your script before it creates a connection for joined players
muted sail
hmm
silver hound
roblox isn't dumb
silver hound
just poor code
untold wave
hey i didnt know profilestore yields before grabbing the data
silver hound
hey i didnt know profilestore yields before grabbing the data
i just use regular datastoreservice
untold wave
i just use regular datastoreservice
no
DataStore service is worse
with handling data
silver hound
right and what do you think profilestore uses?
it's the same thing
just they added a layer of security and good code for handling data
untold wave
just they added a layer of security and good code for handling data
yeah that's why it's a better practice to use profilestore
untold wave
never had issues saving data with my own way
ok
it's a better practice to use profilestore
silver hound
i don't know who said that but ok i guess
muted sail
it's a better practice to use profilestore
not really
untold wave
not really
wdym
muted sail
profilestore has its own issue
untold wave
like what
muted sail
we had this debate in scripting
wait
ill send
yea I cant find it
it was months ago
silver hound
bindtoClose isn't running
it works, add a print and you'll see
it's just your if statement is useless
untold wave
it works, add a print and you'll see
well the data is working
untold wave
it's just your if statement is useless
false
the if statement is checking if that server is the main server
if so, it will set the main server to the default value-in which will be set to the next server/an existing server
i think i figured out the problem
welp ik the problem
the thing is yielding for too long
man it was working before but then randomly stopped working. I made no changes :/
FIXED YAYAYYYYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAY
ill edit the message to the fix
