You just loop through parts and serialize their CFrame relative to the plot

  • parts should be a list of all the parts you want to save (e.g., plotFolder:GetChildren())
  • this assumes you’re saving per-player using their UserId
local function getRelativeCFrame(part, plotBounds)
    return plotBounds.CFrame:ToObjectSpace(part.CFrame)
end

local function serializeCFrame(cf)
    return {cf:GetComponents()} -- gives 12 values: X, Y, Z, rotation matrix
end

(Understanding CFrame with Matrices!)

local function savePlotParts(player, plotBounds, parts)
    local dataToSave = {}

    for _, part in ipairs(parts) do
        table.insert(dataToSave, {
            partType = part.Name, -- or a tag or type or somthing like that
            relativeCFrame = serializeCFrame(getRelativeCFrame(part, plotBounds)),
            color = {R = part.Color.R, G = part.Color.G, B = part.Color.B}
        })
    end

    local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
    local ds = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlotData")

    local success, err = pcall(function()
        ds:SetAsync(player.UserId, dataToSave)
    end)

    if not success then
        warn("Failed to save plot data:", err)
    end
end
