	local dataKey = 'key_' .. player.UserId


	local data = PlayerData[player]

	local success, result = pcall(function()
		ItemStore:SetAsync(dataKey, data, {player.UserId})
	end)

adding tools function

local function AddItem(item: Instance, folder: Folder, index: number)

	
	if not data[folder.Name] then

		data[folder.Name] = {}
	end


	if not index then
	
		index = #data[folder.Name] + 1
		
		table.insert(data[folder.Name], index, item.Name)
	end



	item.AncestryChanged:Connect(function(_, newParent)
		
		if newParent ~= folder and folder.Parent ~= nil then
			data[folder.Name][index] = nil
		end
	end)
end


for storeFolderName, savedItems in pairs(data) do


	if onReset == true and storeFolderName ~= 'Backpack' then
		continue
	end


	local itemsFolder: Folder = folders_to_save[storeFolderName]

	
	if itemsFolder then

		
		local folder = folders[storeFolderName]

		for index, itemName in pairs(savedItems) do
			
			local item = itemsFolder:FindFirstChild(itemName)
			if item then
				
				local playerItem = item:Clone()
				playerItem.Parent = folder

				
				AddItem(playerItem, folder, index)
			else
				
				warn(player, 'has unknown item that is said to be in folder', storeFolderName, ":", itemName)
			end
		end

	else
		warn(player, 'has unknown directory saved in data:', storeFolderName)
	end
end

I have a working script that does this but I don’t think I should send it to anyone because it is vulnerable to save scumming which is basically where anyone on Roblox can abuse a vulnerability that allows them to revert to a previous data save if they don’t like what they received from RNG

so even if you figure out how to do this be careful because it might not be completely safe from vulnerabilities

You could just have a datastore which saves the equipped tool, and then just loading that tool once the player rejoins i suppose.

Yes that’s what I did and it created a vulnerability where they can undo any of the data the server tried to save
