I am trying to make 2 settings, one to disable and enable sound and one to disable and enable Materials

Before disabling materials

After disabling materials

Before disabling sound

After disabling sound

Code to add the data (Server)

task.spawn(function()
		local descendants = game:GetDescendants()
    for i = 1, #descendants do
        local obj = descendants[i]
        if obj:IsA("BasePart") then
            TablesModule.InsertMaterial(obj)
        elseif obj:IsA("Sound") then
            TablesModule.InsertVolume(obj)
        end
		end
		
		TablesModule.PrintMaterialAmount()
end)

Code accessing the data (Local)

menu_settings_buttons.Materials.Button.Activated:Connect(function()
	if MaterialsOn then
		MaterialsOn = false

		task.spawn(function()
			effect_3_pos_off:Play()
			effect_3_color_off:Play()
		end)

		task.spawn(function()
			local descendants = workspace:GetDescendants()
			for i = 1, #descendants do
				local obj = descendants[i]
				if obj:IsA("BasePart") then
					obj.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
				end
			end
		end)
	else
		MaterialsOn = true

		task.spawn(function()
			effect_3_pos_on:Play()
			effect_3_color_on:Play()
		end)
		
		if next(MaterialTable) then
			print("MaterialTable is populated")
			TablesModule.PrintMaterialAmount()
		else
			print("MaterialTable is empty")
			TablesModule.PrintMaterialAmount()
		end
		
		task.spawn(function()
			local descendants = workspace:GetDescendants()
			for i = 1, #descendants do
				local obj = descendants[i]
				if obj:IsA("BasePart") then
					local material = MaterialTable[obj]
					if material then
						obj.Material = material
					end
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end)

menu_settings_buttons.Sound.Button.Activated:Connect(function()
	if SoundOn then
		SoundOn = false

		task.spawn(function()
			effect_4_pos_off:Play()
			effect_4_color_off:Play()
		end)

		local descendants = workspace:GetDescendants()
		VolumeTable = {}
		for i = 1, #descendants do
			local obj = descendants[i]
			if obj:IsA("Sound") then
				obj.Volume = 0
			end
		end

		-- Check if VolumeTable is empty before playing sound
		if next(VolumeTable) then
			print("VolumeTable is populated")
			TablesModule.PrintVolumeAmount()
		else
			print("VolumeTable is empty")
			TablesModule.PrintVolumeAmount()
		end
	else
		SoundOn = true

		task.spawn(function()
			effect_4_pos_on:Play()
			effect_4_color_on:Play()
		end)

		local descendants = workspace:GetDescendants()
		for i = 1, #descendants do
			local obj = descendants[i]
			if obj:IsA("Sound") then
				local volume = VolumeTable[obj]
				if volume then
					obj.Volume = volume
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

Code that contains all the data (Module)

local tables = {}

tables.MaterialTable = {}
tables.VolumeTable = {}

function tables.InsertMaterial(obj: BasePart)
	tables.MaterialTable[obj] = obj.Material
end

function tables.InsertVolume(obj: Sound)
	tables.VolumeTable[obj] = obj.Volume
end

function tables.PrintMaterialAmount()
	local count = 0
	for _, _ in pairs(tables.MaterialTable) do
		count += 1
	end
	print("The amount of materials in the table are "..count)
end

function tables.PrintVolumeAmount()
	local count = 0
	for _, _ in pairs(tables.VolumeTable) do
		count += 1
	end
	print("The amount of volume data in the table are "..count)
end

return tables

I have already put many prints to see what was the issue

I have looked on the developer form for solutions and haven’t found anything

I’m guessing that it’s not properly reverting the textures back on the Client after disabling then re-enabling the materials?

One thing I noticed is that the Textures are being stored by the Server via a Server Script, presumably into a ModuleScript. ModuleScripts do not share the modifications done by either the Client or the Server, so you would need to store these materials via a LocalScript(on the Client) if you were to store them in a ModuleScript.

Yea i noticed that after printing how many materials were in the table in the local script
