How would you change a player’s item stats because of balance changes?

Lets say a player has a overpowered sword that has a numberValue with damage at 1000 needs to be nerfed in the next update.

In my head, possibly you can either

  1. Maybe use a function to go through all datastores and alter the data?
  2. Change the data when player logs back in

Can someone explain how this actually can be done?

So you want to change a number value’s data store which represents the individual players damage?

It would represent the item’s damage, lets say the name is “Poisoned Sword”

Oh if its like a value you want to change that is for everything, I use this:

There may be free versions but basically you can access a specific datastore in studio using its key and then change a value inside the data store.

I do not own or are affiliated but I think in your case it will be quick and easy to do that then script in detection and what not.

If you want a free option I would suggest using math to compare its value and seeing if its too high or low using (> or <) and using :setasync to change its value.
