Hello, I’m making a Trail shop and inventory system but it only saves one trail and doesn’t save the other trails. This is my first time using DataStore2 yet I know how to use it except for saving tables

I use DataStore2 for this

This is the code

function PlayerDataModule:TrailSave(LocalPlayer)
	local OwnedTrails = {}
	
	local TrailStore = DataStore2Module("Trails", LocalPlayer)
	local GetTrailTable = TrailStore:GetTable(OwnedTrails)
	
	for _, trl in pairs(LocalPlayer.Trails:GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(GetTrailTable, trl.Name)
		TrailStore:Save(GetTrailTable)
		print("Saving...")
	end
	
end

Loading the trails

	local TrailStore = DataStore2Module("Trails", LocalPlayer)
	local GetTrailTable = TrailStore:GetTable(TrailsOwned)
	
	for _, trl in pairs(GetTrailTable) do
		if TrailFolder:FindFirstChild(trl) then
			print(trl)
			local TrailObj = TrailFolder[trl]:Clone()
			TrailObj.Parent = Trails
		end
	end

Have you considered using profile service? At this point, I’d recommend it over Datastore2 because it handles possible item duplication glitches, and is overall easier to use.

	for _, trl in pairs(LocalPlayer.Trails:GetChildren()) do
		table.insert(GetTrailTable, #GetTrailTable+1, trl.Name)
	end
	
	TrailStore:Set(GetTrailTable); TrailStore:Save()
end

can we answer his question instead…?
