What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I need help creating a saving inventory system for my scfi game, so theres this thing called a HoloGlass, which is basically a screengui supposed to be like a mobile holographic phone kind of thing, in the Tradermart app (the shop) you can buy items from there with ingame money, and once you do buy an item, it shows in the inventory app, and you can retrieve it by clicking on that item and it will add it to your player backpack, and you can put it back by pressing the V key while its equipped. All of that is already scripted. I just need it to save everything thats in the inventory app, and reload it once you join the game again. Each tool has an item ID inside of it, which apple is item id 1, and for example if a pencil was item id 2, for saving the data, in a table, it would show up as (1,1,2) for two apples and one pencil for example. But I need help with figuring out how to get every item inside the inventory scrolling frame with each of its linked item in the object id for saving it, and then looking through all of the item ids inside the items folder under replicated storage and recreating each of the item uis in the scrolling frame, because I’m bad at understanding for loops and I haven’t really needed to use them that much. -
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
The items in the inventory Ui won’t save. -
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I’ve tried looking at other devforum posts, which none of them really match the same thing I’m trying to do to actually help anything, and I tried AI which isn’t really working either.
After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!
This is my code from the AI that it scripted me if that will help any of you:

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.
I just want it to be able to save/load, I already have the rest of it scripted basicallly.
