Picking up items makes the hotbar lose state

Hello,
I am currently making a inventory system, which includes having a hotbar.

Everytime something gets added to the inventory I fire an Event which the client listens to. Then to update the hotbar I remove all slots from the Frame and then proceed to readd them with the updated state.

It works like this:

for _, v in ipairs(self.Items:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("TextButton") then
			if v.Name == _drawn then
				continue
			end

			v:SetAttribute("New", true)
		end
	end

	for uid, data in pairs(Data) do
		local ItemData = ItemModule[tonumber(data.Id)]
		if ItemData then
			local NewSlot = self.SlotTemplate:Clone()
			NewSlot.TextLabel.Text = ItemData.Slot
			NewSlot.ImageLabel.Image = ItemData.Thumbnail
			NewSlot.Name = uid
			NewSlot.Visible = false
			NewSlot.LayoutOrder = ItemData.Slot
			NewSlot.UIAspectRatioConstraint.AspectRatio = ItemData.Slot == 1 and 2 or 1
			NewSlot.Parent = self.Items
		end
	end

However, this makes it so that if I have equipped something, when updating the hotbar it loses the state and does it so the equipped slot is not active anymore.

(I am not unequipping it myself)

How would I do so that the hotbar doesn’t lose state whenever I shoot or pick up an item from the ground.

I do not have enough information to determine what causes the shooting to cause the bug but in the hotbar updating script, there is no information for what is equipped. I don’t know what ItemModule is, but maybe you could add a flag to the equipped item? Or maybe some variable with the currently equipped tool id?
