Tool save script not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

I have tried making a Datastore Script that saves a player’s tools. For some reason, the player’s tools don’t save. I tried using scripts from youtube hoping that they work. But the same problem occurs with those Scripts.
I also don’t get anything in my output.
(Yes I have “Enable Studio Access to API Services” Enabled)

Here is how far I got with my script:

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


local toolsFolder = game.ServerStorage.Tools

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)

    local toolsSaved
	local success, er = pcall(function(
	toolsSaved = toolsDS:GetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-tools") or {}
	end)

	print(success)

	print(toolsSaved)

	for i, toolSaved in ipairs(toolsSaved) do
			
		if toolsFolder:FindFirstChild(toolSaved) then 
			
			toolsFolder[toolSaved]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
			toolsFolder[toolSaved]:Clone().Parent = plr.StarterGear 
		end
	end
	

end)


game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)

	plr.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
	local toolsOwned = {}
	print(plr.Backpack:GetChildren())
	for i, toolInBackpack in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
		
		table.insert(toolsOwned, toolInBackpack.Name)
	end
	print(toolsOwned)
	local success, errormsg = pcall(function()
		
		toolsDS:SetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-tools", toolsOwned)
	
	end)

		
	if success == false then
		print(errormsg)
	end
	if errormsg then warn(errormsg) end
end)

I would be really happy if somebody could help me.

What about your prints do any of them print? specifically.

print(toolsSaved)
#4

Right, I forgot to mention this.
The tools name do save but it wont load the Tool into the players backpack.

#5

That would mean the source of your problem occurs between these lines but I don’t see anything
wrong.

try change toolSaved to v

for i, toolSaved in ipairs(toolsSaved) do
#7

ToolsSaved Is an array? Right? Because ur using Ipairs I assume it is

plr.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
	local toolsOwned = {}
	print(plr.Backpack:GetChildren())
	for i, toolInBackpack in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do

Change to

--plr.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools() --remove this
	local toolsOwned = {}
	print(plr.Backpack:GetChildren())
	for i, toolInBackpack in pairs(plr.StarterGear:GetChildren()) do

Also you need to used UpdateAsync when player leave to prevent data loss if you don’t handle it when using SetAsync
