does anyone know how to fix the ProfileStore:390: attempt to concatenate nil with string thing

[fallow sage]

i have no clue how profilestore works please help me

(image is data initializer)

[zinc peak]

Check if plr.UserID is nil still after a sec or two, if that line is running instantly upon game start then I've run into a similar issue

[fallow sage]

ill make a repeat until loop hold on

[zinc peak]

That's how i fixed it myself

So it should work

Idk if it's the best option tho

[fallow sage]

neither ~=/== nil nor not plr.UserId/plr.UserId works

[hallow dune]

GetStoreName() is going to return true always????

[fallow sage]

oh what the hell

[hallow dune]

what passed bros head when he wrote that

[fallow sage]

i followed a tutorial i assumes it was some archaic ass logic

IT WASNT EVEN THE ISSUE 😭

[warped moss]

** You are now Level 3! **

[fallow sage]

[fallow sage]

archaic ass logic prevails

[hallow dune]

[fallow sage]

the tutorial curse 💔

IVE SPENT 10 HOURS TRYING TO FIX THIS JUST TO FIND OUT I WAS USING PROFILESTORE AND NOT PLAYERSTORE FSAKOHGAHKKDFSHKKFSKHLAFLKHA

well i fixed it

[reef sand]

There is a thing called using a regular DataStore

[normal robin]

Please share your whole script, @fallow sage

Missed that

[normal robin]

ProfileStore will encounter this error whenever a function accepting a profile_key is not given an appropriate value. A profile key must either be a string, or something that can be coerced into a string, like an integer

Given that you were under the assumption that you were using a different API, you most likely believed no key needed to be provided to certain functions

[fallow sage]

no i used ProfileStore instead of a player store that was created using ProfileStore.New() accidentally and both apparently had :StartSessionAsync()

[normal robin]

That's exactly what I said
