Datastore not saving player's equipped tool

[I60U (Skippy)]

The code:

local Datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local mainStore = Datastore:GetDataStore("Main")

local function saveData(player)
	local dataToSave = {
		Inventory = {},
		Stats = {},
		Locker = {}
	}

	
	for _, item in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
		if item:IsA("Tool") then
			table.insert(dataToSave.Inventory, item.Name)
		end
	end
	
	-- Save the characters equipped tool before they leave
	if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
		table.insert(dataToSave.Inventory, player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool").Name)
	end
	
	print(dataToSave)
end

local function loadData(player)
	
end





game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(loadData)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(saveData)
game:BindToClose(function()
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		saveData(player)
	end
end)

My issue:
I’m trying to add the player’s equipped tool to Inventory = {} before they leave, but im not sure on how to do that… Any suggestions?

multiple tools or 1 tool at a time?

[NoobInAFishTank]

u want to save equipped tools only right?

[I60U (Skippy)]

Yeah, just the tool thats equipped for the player, I already have the logic for the backpack

[NoobInAFishTank]

at this part:

-- Save the characters equipped tool before they leave
	if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
		table.insert(dataToSave.Inventory, player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool").Name)
	end

try this:

for _,v in pairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("Tool") then
		table.insert(dataToSave.Inventory, v.Name)
	end
end

Character doesn’t exist on PlayerRemoving you need to cache the tool name in the player as an attribute whenever it gets equipped
