game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

local inventory = player:WaitForChild("Inventory")

local inventoryFrame = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("InventoryGui").InventoryFrame.ItemsFrame:GetChildren()

inventory.ChildAdded:Connect(function(Item)
	inventoryEvent:FireClient(player, Item.Name, true)
end)

end)

inventoryEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, ItemName, Value, button)

 if Value == false then
		local SelectedItem = player.Inventory:FindFirstChild(ItemName)
		local backpack = player.Backpack:GetChildren()
		local stuff = player.Character:GetChildren()
		
		if #backpack == 0 and not player.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool") then
			button.Text = "Unequip"
			button.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255,0,0)

So I’m guessing you inventory is a heirachy of folders and not a table stored on the server?

If that’s the case you’re going to want too convert those folders into a table and then save that table

Here’s an article explaining how Data saving works and such - DataStores - Beginners to Advanced

And based off how I read your system, I would just save a table of the Item names, which I would then load by looping throught it.
