hello! Im making a weapon buying and unlocking system where players can unlock weapons and then buy them. when the player joins i want it to clone the templates and when the player unlocks a new weapon it unlocks the weapon on the template. However i kinda of stuck on how i should clone the templates.

keep in mind my module script includes data stores so i cannot be used in the client…

– module

local weaponModuleStats = {}

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local weaponDamageData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("weaponStats")

weaponModuleStats.weaponStats = {
	["punch"] = {damage = 5, price = 0, description = "you punch people i guess. not much to be said", image = "rbxassetid://17736469807", unlockable = false, unlocked = true},
	["bat"] = {damage = 9, price = 95, description = "an average baseball bat." , image = "rbxassetid://9831327336", unlockable = false, unlocked = true}, 
}


function weaponModuleStats:saveWeaponStats(player, statsTable)
	local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		weaponDamageData:SetAsync(player.UserId .. "-weaponStats", statsTable)
	end)

	if not success then
		warn("Failed to save weapon damage: " .. errorMessage)
	end
end

function weaponModuleStats:loadWeaponStats(player)
	local success, weaponStatsTable = pcall(function()
		return weaponDamageData:GetAsync(player.UserId .. "-weaponStats")
	end)

	if success and weaponStatsTable then
		return weaponStatsTable
	else
		if not success then
			warn("Failed to load weapon damage: " .. weaponStatsTable)
		end
		return weaponModuleStats.weaponStats
	end
end

function weaponModuleStats:getWeaponAttribute(player, weaponName, attribute)
	local playerWeaponStatTable = self:loadWeaponStats(player)
	if playerWeaponStatTable[weaponName] then
		return playerWeaponStatTable[weaponName][attribute] or weaponModuleStats.weaponStats[weaponName][attribute]
	else
		return weaponModuleStats.weaponStats[weaponName][attribute]
	end
end

function weaponModuleStats:updateWeaponAttribute(player, weaponName, attribute, amount)
	local playerWeaponStatTable = self:loadWeaponStats(player)
	if not playerWeaponStatTable[weaponName] then
		playerWeaponStatTable[weaponName] = {}
	end
	if not playerWeaponStatTable[weaponName][attribute] then
		playerWeaponStatTable[weaponName][attribute] = weaponModuleStats.weaponStats[weaponName][attribute] or 0
	end
	playerWeaponStatTable[weaponName][attribute] = playerWeaponStatTable[weaponName][attribute] + amount
	self:saveWeaponStats(player, playerWeaponStatTable)
end

function weaponModuleStats:getUnlockedWeapons(player)
	local playerWeaponStatTable = self:loadWeaponStats(player)
	local unlockedWeapons = {}
	
	for weaponName, attributes in pairs(playerWeaponStatTable) do
		if attributes.unlockable == true then
			if attributes.unlocked == true then
				table.insert(unlockedWeapons, weaponName)
			end
		end
	end
	return unlockedWeapons
end

function weaponModuleStats:getNotUnlockedWeapons(player)
	local playerWeaponStatTable = self:loadWeaponStats(player)
	local notUnlockedWeapons = {}
	
	for weaponName, attributes in pairs(playerWeaponStatTable) do
		if attributes.unlockable == true then
			if attributes.unlocked == false then
				table.insert(notUnlockedWeapons, weaponName)
			end
		end
	end

	return notUnlockedWeapons
end

function weaponModuleStats:unlockWeapon(player, weaponName)
	local playerWeaponStatTable = self:loadWeaponStats(player)
	
	if playerWeaponStatTable[weaponName] then
		if playerWeaponStatTable[weaponName]["unlockable"] and playerWeaponStatTable[weaponName]["unlockable"] == true then
			playerWeaponStatTable[weaponName].unlocked = true 
			self:saveWeaponStats(player, playerWeaponStatTable)
		end 
	end
end
