How to save backpack tools

[isaagomendabuilder (frighteningSwag)]

this is self explanatory. I dont know where to begin.

[Deb0rahAliWilliams (MsDeborah)]

Do you mean something like the Player getting their tools back when they die in-game?

[isaagomendabuilder (frighteningSwag)]

Yes, and also when they leave the game and rejoin

[Deb0rahAliWilliams (MsDeborah)]

For Players getting their tools back when they die, you can simply modify the script which gives the Player the tool, and clone the tool to add to the Player’s StarterGear. Read about StarterGears here.

As for saving a Player’s backpack to a Datastore, you may read this separate Community Tutorial, which focuses more in depth on how to do so.

Happy Scripting!

@Cyber_Designer

local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local toolsDS = dss:GetDataStore("ToolsData")
 
local toolsFolder = game.ServerStorage.ToolsFolder --location of the Tools
 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    
    local toolsSaved = toolsDS:GetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-tools") or {}
    
    for i, toolSaved in pairs(toolsSaved) do
            
        if toolsFolder:FindFirstChild(toolSaved) then 
            
            toolsFolder[toolSaved]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
            toolsFolder[toolSaved]:Clone().Parent = plr.StarterGear 
        end
    end
    
    plr.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function(char)
        
        char.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
    end)
end)

I was gonna ask a question, but why did you deleted it?

[Cyber_Designer (CryptoHex)]

Because you found the solution already, but what was the question

[isaagomendabuilder (frighteningSwag)]

ah no i missclicked sorry lol but i was gonna ask : “local toolsFolder = game.ServerStorage.ToolsFolder --location of the Tools” can i change the locations of the tools to plr.Backpack? bc i want to save the playerBackpack not a folder in server storage

[Cyber_Designer (CryptoHex)]

I thank so but the script all ready saves the Backpack

[isaagomendabuilder (frighteningSwag)]

ohh so what is toolsFolder for

[Cyber_Designer (CryptoHex)]

It should contain all the tools in the game

[isaagomendabuilder (frighteningSwag)]

Here is a script in workspace that if you touch it, it clones a tool from a folder from replicated storage in plr backpack.

local debounce = false

function getPlayer(humanoid) 
local players = game.Players:children() 
for i = 1, #players do 
if players[i].Character.Humanoid == humanoid then return players[i] end 
end 
return nil 
end 

function onTouch(part) 

local human = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") 
if (human ~= nil) and debounce == false then

debounce = true

local player = getPlayer(human) 

if (player == nil) then return end 

		local clone = game.ReplicatedStorage.Tools:WaitForChild("Glasses"):Clone()
clone.LocalScript.Enabled = true
clone.Parent = player.Backpack

wait(5)
debounce = false
end
end


script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch) 

maybe i need to put toolsFolder to the folder in replicated storage

[isaagomendabuilder (frighteningSwag)]
