Storing player data in game using a module script implementing for all player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey so I am having a problem pretty sure dev forum users can solve it
What is the player data I use

Note: I am not storing these data in the database I just need it in the game

so basically I use module scripts to put player data(like cooldown and debounce)and for some reason when I change the debounce in player1 it changes to player1 and player2
Module script

local Data = {}

local DataTemplate = {
	["PurpleOrb"] = {
		Debounce = 0
	},
	
	
	
}

local PlayerData = {}

function Data.AddPlayer(Player) 
	PlayerData[Player] = DataTemplate

end

function Data.ReturnData(Player,PathIndex) 
	print(PlayerData)
	return PathIndex ~= nil and PlayerData[Player][PathIndex] or PlayerData[Player] or PlayerData
end



function Data.RemovePlayer(Player) 
	PlayerData[Player] = nil
end






return Data

Script where I access these data

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerScript = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
--[[Directories]]
local Remotes = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remote")
--[[Import]]
local DataManagement = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.DataManager)
--[[Remote]]
local ActivateRemote = Remotes:WaitForChild("ActivateRemote")
local CooldownStart =  Remotes.CooldownStart

--[[Variables]]

--[[Objects]]

--[[Functions]]

--[[Application]]

ActivateRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,ExtraData)
	
	local PlayerData = DataManagement.ReturnData(Player.Name,"PurpleOrb")
	
	
	if   (os.clock() - PlayerData.Debounce ) < 5 then		print(PlayerData.Debounce) return end

	PlayerData.Debounce = os.clock()
	print(PlayerData.Debounce,"Passed",Player.Name)


		
	

end)

Here is the DataCore server script

--Connected to player replicated storage 



--[[Services]]
local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")
--[[Directories]]
local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remote
--[[Import]]
local DataModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.DataManager)
--[[Remote]]
local RequestPlayerDataRemote = Remote.RequestPlayerData
--[[Variables]]

--[[Objects]]
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

--[[Functions]]
--'
--PhysicsService:CreateCollisionGroup("PlayersGroup")


--function OnCharacterAdded(character)
	
--	for _,part in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
--		if part:IsA("BasePart") then
--			 PhysicsService:SetPartCollisionGroup(part,"PlayersGroup")
--	   	end
--	end	
--end'
function PlayerJoined(Player)
	DataModule.AddPlayer(Player.Name) 
	
	
	--Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(OnCharacterAdded)
	
	
end

function PlayerLeft(Player)
	DataModule.RemovePlayer(Player) 
end

function RetrieveData(Player)
	RequestPlayerDataRemote:FireClient(Player, DataModule.ReturnData(Player)) 
end


--[[Application]]

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerJoined)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(PlayerLeft)
RequestPlayerDataRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(RetrieveData)

Here is another code that when a player clicks while using the tool it fires a remote

--Teleportation

--[[Services]]
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerScript = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
--[[Import]]

--[[Remote]]
local BlackHoleActivate = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Remote"):WaitForChild("ActivateRemote")
--[[Variables]]
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
--[[Objects]]
local Tool = script.Parent

--[[Functions]]

--[[Application]]


Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	
	local MousePosition = Mouse.Hit.Position

	BlackHoleActivate:FireServer({Ability = "PurpleOrb"})
	
end)

there are no errors

here is how I put these scripts

I will review everything now

What I want to achieve
Making data set to specific players not all players
What is the problem
It is set to all players, not the player I want

Best wishes.

Tables don’t copy by reference, so they’re all sharing the same table. You’ll need to copy the table manually, or move the DataTemplate to the inside of the function

Thanks. It works well now. I have been searching for a solution for long time so thank you a lot
