How to datastore for player's Backpack

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I tried this script,

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DSS:GetDataStore("SaveToolScript")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    pcall(function()
        local tool = DataStore:GetAsync("User-"..plr.UserId)
        if tool then
            for i,v in pairs(tool) do
                local ToolFound = game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyToolItems:FindFirstChild(v)
                if ToolFound then
                    ToolFound:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
                    ToolFound:Clone().Parent = plr.StarterGear
                end
            end
        end
    end)
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    pcall(function()
        local toolsave = {}
        for i, tool in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
            if tool then
                table.insert(toolsave, tool.Name)
            end
        end
        DataStore:SetAsync("User-"..plr.UserId, toolsave)
    end)
end)

but it didn’t work
How do I fix this?

#2

Can’t you just save the names of the tools then search for them once the player is loaded in?

#3

can u put it in a script how I should fix it

#4

Wait nevermind, I thought you were trying to save instances and not the names

#5

Did you turn on “Enable Stuido Access to API Services” in roblox stuido game settings?

You can follow these steps/

It will tell you everything you need here!

Don’t forget to solve if that fixed your problem.

#6

Everything is already turned on.

#7

Did you check the Output? first.

Did it give you a error message or warn. before we all do that

#8

no error popped up in the output

#9

Remove the pcall() and check for errors again. I think its probably because you can’t save tables(or can?).

#10

this is my script now and it still doesnt work.

local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = DSS:GetDataStore("SaveToolScript")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
        local tool = DataStore:GetAsync("User-"..plr.UserId)
        if tool then
            for i,v in pairs(tool) do
                local ToolFound = game.ReplicatedStorage.BuyToolItems:FindFirstChild(v)
                if ToolFound then
                    ToolFound:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
                    ToolFound:Clone().Parent = plr.StarterGear
                end
            end
        end
    end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
        local toolsave = {}
        for i, tool in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
            if tool then
                table.insert(toolsave, tool.Name)
            end
        end
        DataStore:SetAsync("User-"..plr.UserId, toolsave)
    end)
#11

Look at the output. Are you getting errors?

#12

I’m still not getting any errors

#13

Just a warning, PlayerRemoving doesn’t always fire in studio. For studio testing it’s recommended to use BindToClose() instead.
