Is there a way to save my tools on death/reset and leave/rejoin?

I need to have my tools save when the players respawn or leave the game

I have been using this script and it has been working on/off for the past few weeks.

local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local data = ds:GetDataStore("Stats")

local savetools = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurcWeapons

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	
	local savedItems = data:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Items")
	
	if savedItems then
		
		for i, item in pairs(savedItems) do
			
			for i, tool in pairs(savetools:GetChildren()) do
				
				if item == tool.Name then
					local toolClone1 = tool:Clone()
					toolClone1.Parent = plr.Backpack
					print("Cloned ", tool.Name)
					local toolClone2 = tool:Clone()
					toolClone2.Parent = plr.StarterGear
					print("Cloned Starter ", tool.Name)
					
				end
				
			end
			
		end
		
	end	
end)


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

	local savedItems = data:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Items")

	if savedItems then

		for i, item in pairs(savedItems) do

			for i, tool in pairs(savetools:GetChildren()) do

				if item == tool.Name then
					local toolClone1 = tool:Clone()
					toolClone1.Parent = plr.Backpack
					print("Cloned ", tool.Name)
					local toolClone2 = tool:Clone()
					toolClone2.Parent = plr.StarterGear
					print("Cloned Starter ", tool.Name)
				end

			end

		end

	end

end)


game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	
	plr.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function(char)
		local humanoid = char.Humanoid
		humanoid:UnquipTools()
	end)
	
	local suc, err = pcall(function()
		
		local savedItems = {}
		
		for i, item in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
			table.insert(savedItems, item.Name)
			print(savedItems, item.Name)
		end
		
		data:SetAsync(plr.UserId.."-Items", savedItems)
		
	end)
	
end)

I need to make “humanoid health changed” I think but I am not sure what line i need to put in it so it can save the items every time they die not just when leaving and rejoin.

This script should save weapon’s when leaving, make new weapons keep on death, and load them back in when rejoining

local DatastoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local ToolDataStore = DatastoreService:GetDataStore("tools")

local ToolRefrence = ReplicatedStorage.Tools

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player: Player)	
	local savedTools = nil
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		savedTools = ToolDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	end)
	
	if success then
		print("Tools Loaded!")
		print(savedTools)
	elseif err then
		warn(err)
	end
	
	local starterGear = player.StarterGear
	-- Give's tools based on the saved tool names 
	if savedTools then
		for toolName, _ in pairs(savedTools) do
			local toolTemplate = ToolRefrence:FindFirstChild(toolName)
			if toolTemplate then
				local newStarterGear = toolTemplate:Clone()
				newStarterGear.Parent = starterGear
			end
		end
	end
	
	-- When the player dies make sure that the unsaved weapons will still be in the backpack
	player.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function()
		for _,tool in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
			if starterGear:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) == nil then
				local clone = tool:Clone()
				clone.Parent = starterGear
			end
		end
	end)
	
	if not player:HasAppearanceLoaded() then
		player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait()
	end
	
	-- Add tools if not given by starter pack
	for _,tool in pairs(player.StarterGear:GetChildren()) do
		if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) == nil then
			local clone = tool:Clone()
			clone.Parent = player.Backpack
		end
	end
end)


game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	local toolSave = {}

	for _, tool in pairs(player.StarterGear:GetChildren()) do
		if ToolRefrence:FindFirstChild(tool.Name) then -- Makes sure that the tool is able to be loaded back in
			toolSave[tool.Name] = true
		end
	end
	
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		ToolDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, toolSave)
	end)
	
	if success then
		print("Tools Saved!")
		print(toolSave)
	elseif err then
		warn(err)
	end

end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	if RunService:IsStudio() then
		task.wait(3)
	else
		task.wait(10)
	end
end)

Yeah this seems to make them appear in the output but i think parenting them to the player might be an issue?
