'Game tools in player inventory being shown in game PLACE'

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Basically, what I want to do is when a player receives a tool, I technically want to ‘save it’ in their inventory, and when they teleport to a PLACE, I want it so it shows up in their inventory. I have seen no solutions meaning this should be impossible but I don’t know. I don’t have any code with me right now as I have no clue like I said.

Is this place you want to teleport to within the same universe as the starter place?

Yeah! Basically the Starter Place is like a HUB and then if you go through some sort of teleportation thing it makes you go to a game place. (not another HUB or main game)

You can use a datastore to store this information then erase the data when the player receives the tool in the new place, or you can send teleportData with the TeleportService.

Do you have any examples like a script or so?

Be sure to trigger the functions.

Saving

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local toolsStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Tools")

function Teleport(Player)
    local Tools = {}
    for _,Tool in pairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
        table.insert(Tools,Tool.Name)
    end
    local success, err = pcall(function()
	      toolsStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId, Tools)
    end)
    if success then
	      --Teleport Code Here
    end
end

Receiving

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local toolsStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Tools")

function GetTools(Player)
    local success, err = pcall(function()
	      Data = toolsStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
    end)
    if success then
	      for _,Tool in pairs(Data) do
            local Clone = LocationOfTools:FindFirstChild(Tool):Clone()
            Clone.Parent = --Backpack or StaterPlayerTools
        end
        toolsStore:RemoveAsync(Player.UserId)
    end
end
