Using geoprocessing results in a widget in Webappbuilder

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get create a geoprocessing service that returns data that I can use in the infographic or chart widget in WAB, but I'm having a tough time doing it. For geoprocessing the user creates a few points on the map, a script then extracts data from rasters at those points. I would like to graph that data, but I can't seem to figure out how to:

A. set up my script properly to create the right data/have the correct environment settings for WAB

B. call the results in the widget

Right now we have the script below working and published, and we have the service set up to return a map service, and we've pointed the chart and infographic back to that service. However whenever we try to chart the results we only get the data that the tool was originally published with, not the most recent results of processing even though the script is working fine and producing unique results.

We are using arcserver 10.5, and the basic version of WAB, this seems like a simple task but we've had a lot of trouble getting it to work right.

Also right now this script creates a crude feature class to hold the resulting data, I'd like to be more efficient and have it in a table, however pointing the widgets back to a resulting table is even murkier than
