You’re still trying to save an instance.

#22

What should I replace this with? Because i followed through with the

v.InAlbum,v.placeholder

instead of the

v,v.InAlbum,v.placeholder

you told me

#23

After messing around, i finally got a script to work.

With instances too. :

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataKey1 = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlaceholderSongs10") -- used: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 8, 9

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local boolsFolder = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	boolsFolder.Name = "Bools"
	
	local songsFolder = Instance.new("Folder", boolsFolder)
	songsFolder.Name = "Songs"
	
	local playerkey = "bools_"..player.UserId.."_store"
	dataKey1:GetAsync(playerkey)
	
	local data = dataKey1:GetAsync(playerkey)
	--local data2 = dataKey:GetAsync(equippedPlayerKey)

	print(data)
	
	if data ~= nil then
		for i, v in pairs(data) do
			print(v[1], v[2], v[3])
			--for i, c in pairs(v) do
				--print(c[1], c[2], c[3])
			local songData1 = Instance.new("StringValue", songsFolder)
			songData1.Name = v[1]
			local imgData = Instance.new("StringValue", songData1)
			imgData.Name = v[2]
			local inAlbumData = Instance.new("StringValue", songData1)
				inAlbumData.Name = v[3]
				--end
		end
end
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local songsTable = {}
	
	for i, v in pairs(player.Bools.Songs:GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(songsTable, {v.Name,v.ImgID.Name,v.InAlbum.Name})
			print(songsTable)
			end
	
	local playerkey = "bools_"..player.UserId.."_store"
	 dataKey1:SetAsync(playerkey, songsTable)
end)

(the lines which are cleared were me messing around)

and here’s one if you also want to save values:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataKey1 = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlaceholderSongs10")-- used: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 8, 9
local dataKey2 = dataStoreService:GetDataStore("SongValuesPlaceholder1")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local boolsFolder = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	boolsFolder.Name = "Bools"
	
	local songsFolder = Instance.new("Folder", boolsFolder)
	songsFolder.Name = "Songs"
	
	local playerkey = "bools_"..player.UserId.."_store"
	dataKey1:GetAsync(playerkey)
	dataKey2:GetAsync(playerkey)
	
	local data = dataKey1:GetAsync(playerkey)
	local data2 = dataKey2:GetAsync(playerkey)

	print(data)
	print(data2)
	
	if data ~= nil then
		for i, v in pairs(data) do
			print(v[1], v[2], v[3])
			local songData1 = Instance.new("StringValue", songsFolder)
				songData1.Name = v[1]
			local imgData = Instance.new("StringValue", songData1)
				imgData.Name = v[2]
			local inAlbumData = Instance.new("StringValue", songData1)
				inAlbumData.Name = v[3]
		end
	end
	
	if data2 ~= nil then
		for i, v in pairs(data2) do
			print("savedsongValues"..v[2], v[3], v[4])
			for i, c in pairs(player.Bools.Songs:GetChildren()) do
				if c.Name == v[1] then
			c.Value = v[2]
			c.ImgID.Value = v[3]
					c.InAlbum.Value = v[4]
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local songsTable = {}
	local songsValuesTable = {}
	
	for i, v in pairs(player.Bools.Songs:GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(songsTable, {v.Name,v.ImgID.Name,v.InAlbum.Name})
			print(songsTable)
	end
	
	
	for i, c in pairs(player.Bools.Songs:GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(songsValuesTable, {c.Name,c.Value,c.ImgID.Value,c.InAlbum.Value})
		print(songsValuesTable)
	end
	
	local playerkey = "bools_"..player.UserId.."_store"
	 dataKey1:SetAsync(playerkey, songsTable)
	dataKey2:SetAsync(playerkey, songsValuesTable)
end)
