You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
-
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
The code that i have used is a character shop which works. The characters can be purchased and equipped. I want to save the players current equipped character (whole rigged and animated body) in my lobby so that when they leave the game then come back to play they load in as their last equipped character - including spawning into my other in-game places to play the games after teleporting off my lobby. Can someone help me what to write and where please? I will really appreciate your help. -
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
Im new to scripting and understand data stores at beginners level but cant seem to make/incorporate the equipped character (newCharacter)-data -
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
Ive tried to make equipped character (newCharacter) into data to save but failed. Ive checked the Dev hub, google and my scripting book but cant find anything to help guide me.
After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.
