My Tool Save Script is not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I recently made a tool save script for my roblox simulator game, and I tested it out in the actual roblox game after being published, i have api and https requests turned on and it still will not work. So it would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help me, Thanks!

Source Code:

local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local toolsDS = dss:GetDataStore("ToolsData")

local toolsFolder = game.ServerStorage.ToolsFolder

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

	local toolsSaved = toolsDS:GetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-tools") or {}

	for i, toolSaved in pairs(toolsSaved) do

		if toolsFolder:FindFirstChild(toolSaved) then 

			toolsFolder[toolSaved]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
			toolsFolder[toolSaved]:Clone().Parent = plr.StarterGear 
		end
	end

	plr.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function(char)

		char.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
	end)
end)

Do your tools save and load in studio?

If Fact They Do Not And It Is annoying

I think its because you dont save the tools to the tool datastore

#5

Where in the script is that error?

#6

Well, theres not exactly an error, you just dont save the tools

#7

But the thing is I did Save the tools in the desired folder and in the code the tools are linked to a table in the data store.

#8

Could you provide that code then?

#9

And plus if there was no error then it would save the tools.

#10

Do you ever save the tools in your code?

#11

I did post the code I guess I have to post it again.

local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local toolsDS = dss:GetDataStore("ToolsData")

local toolsFolder = game.ServerStorage.ToolsFolder

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

	local toolsSaved = toolsDS:GetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-tools") or {}

	for i, toolSaved in pairs(toolsSaved) do

		if toolsFolder:FindFirstChild(toolSaved) then 

			toolsFolder[toolSaved]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
			toolsFolder[toolSaved]:Clone().Parent = plr.StarterGear 
		end
	end

	plr.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function(char)

		char.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
	end)
end)

I don’t think it will error if it is a nil value, did you save the name of the tool as a string?

#13

It didn’t error in the output or console screen But I might not have.

#14

I did control f to search for :SetAsync and found no results, what I’m saying is that you never save the tools. You only unequip them.

#15

Oh there is an if statement so if it is a nil it would skip it. That would be why there isn’t an error.

#16

But I am confused because I thought I saved the to a table in the datastore.

#17

Could you provide the line(s) of code where you save? I dont see them

#18

where and how do you save the data

#19 
local toolsSaved = toolsDS:GetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-tools") or {}

	for i, toolSaved in pairs(toolsSaved) do

		if toolsFolder:FindFirstChild(toolSaved) then 

			toolsFolder[toolSaved]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
			toolsFolder[toolSaved]:Clone().Parent = plr.StarterGear 
		end
	end

That loads the tools, not saves the tools
