Problem saving tools with DataStore

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I have a problem saving tools with dataStore. The dataStore works fine on its own, only I just made a new item slots GUI, and equipping the item no longer saves for some reason

GUI slots:

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.2)

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character

local Handler = script.Parent.Parent.Mapa.ViewSelection.Inventario.Handler
local selected = Handler.Selected
local equipped = Handler.Equipped
local location = Handler.Location

local EnabledEquipTool = script.Parent:WaitForChild("EnabledEquipTools")

local Main = script.Parent

local Debounce = false

local KeeyOne = false
local KeeyTwo = false
local KeeyThree = false
local KeeyFour = false
local KeeyFive = false

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
	if EnabledEquipTool.Value == false then
		if not Debounce then
			Debounce = true
			if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.One then
				if Main.Slot1.Item.Value == nil then
				else
					if KeeyOne == false then
						if location.Value == player.Backpack then
							TweenService:Create(Main.Slot1, tweenInfo, {ImageColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(66, 66, 66)}):Play()
							character.Humanoid:EquipTool(Main.Slot1.Item.Value)
							equipped.Value = Main.Slot1.Item.Value
							KeeyOne = true
						end
					else
						TweenService:Create(Main.Slot1, tweenInfo, {ImageColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)}):Play()
						character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
						equipped.Value = nil
						KeeyOne = false
					end
				end
			end
			wait(0.2)
			Debounce = false
		end
	end
end)

DataStore:

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

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)


game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	local toolsOwned = {}
	for i, toolInBackpack in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(toolsOwned, toolInBackpack.Name)
	end

	local success, errormsg = pcall(function()
		toolsDS:SetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-tools", toolsOwned)
	end)
	if errormsg then warn(errormsg) end
end)

You can’t save objects to datastores.

Instead of saving the object itself (the tool), save what the tool is called and give it to the player whenever they join the game instead.

It is exactly what the DataStore script does, only that it no longer saves the Slot System I made when equipping the tool, it is no longer saved when I equip the tool

My bad, I thought you were just trying to save the tool itself so I didn’t bother reading the script, I’ll take a look and lyk if I find anything.
