or using tables but the thing that is bothers me is when i add an item inside the tables it will look messy

You can use a dictionnary that you save and load on the datastore, then check these values to add or remove items on your GUI. That’s basically how everyone do.

local PlayerData = {
    Weapons = {
        ClassicSword = 1, -- How much owned
        MagicWand = 4,
    },

    Cosmetics = {
        KnightHelmet = 2,
        MageHood = 1,
    }
}

but what about items with stats , the example that u ve provided shows only a one value for each one

You can customize the dictionnary however you want depending of your game. As for example, if each of your items can have different stats, you could do something like this:

local PlayerData = {
    Weapons = {
        ClassicSword = {5, 32}, -- level, base damage
        ClassicSword = {3, 29},
        MagicWand = {1, 24},
    },
}

You could also make it so these are the inventory slots

local PlayerData = {
    Weapons = {
        Slot1 = {"ClassicSword", 5, 32}, -- Item name, level, base damage
        Slot2 = {"ClassicSword", 3, 29},
        Slot3 = {"MagicWand", 1, 24},
    },
}

but this looks a little bit confusing when adding multiple items and besides , some items will have stats that the others dont

Will the item’s stats change? If not, then you can create a folder in replicated storage that stores all the stats for each item. This would mean you wouldn’t need to worry about datasaving stats. :+1:
