Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve? I want to know how to save data, but I don’t want it to save currency I want it to save for example a players inventory and the tools inside it

  2. What is the issue? I dont know how to do it

#2

Can we see the script you made so we know how we can help you?

#3

This is the value

local df = ds:GetDataStore("PlayerExperience")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	script.Parent.Value = df:GetAsync(player.UserId)
	if script.Parent.Value == true then
		local Clone = game.ReplicatedStorage.Part:Clone()
		Clone.Parent = player.PlayerGui.Bottom.InventoryFrame.ScrollingFrame
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	df:SetAsync(player.UserId, script.Parent.Value)

end)```

This is the the ui 
```lua
game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Data.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
	local df = ds:GetDataStore("PlayerExperience")
	local PL = game.Players:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
	game.ServerStorage.Part1.Value = true
	df:SetAsync(PL.UserId, 	game.ServerStorage.Part1.Value)
	
end)```

ok, so yo will saving an instance, so to do that you can save a table with tools name here is an example of how you can use this method

local dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local toolsDS = dss:GetDataStore("ToolsData")
 
local toolsFolder = game.ServerStorage.ToolsFolder --A folder in sever storage with the tools you wanna save
 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    
    local toolsSaved = toolsDS:GetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-tools") or {}
    
    for i, toolSaved in pairs(toolsSaved) do
            
        if toolsFolder:FindFirstChild(toolSaved) then 
            
            toolsFolder[toolSaved]:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
            toolsFolder[toolSaved]:Clone().Parent = plr.StarterGear 
        end
    end
    
    plr.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function(char)
        
        char.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
    end)
end)
 
 
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
    
    local toolsOwned = {}
    
    for i, toolInBackpack in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
        
        table.insert(toolsOwned, toolInBackpack.Name)
    end
    
    local success, errormsg = pcall(function()
        
        toolsDS:SetAsync(plr.UserId .. "-tools", toolsOwned)
    end)
    if errormsg then warn(errormsg) end
end)

Alright so in my case I want to make ui save after you do something is there a way you can do that? Please help, thank you.

You should also be saving player data with individual threads on DataModel:BindToClose() if you genuinely care about not losing data. Only saving when a player leaves is asking for data loss. It might require some edge-case work depending on when BindToClose fires compared to when the last Player disconnects.

yeah, srry

local Plrs = game:GetService("Players")
local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Part = workspace.Part

Plrs.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
       local data

       local success, err = pcall(function()
            data =  DS:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."Key")
     end)

          if data then
            for i, gui in pairs(data) do
             for _, v in pairs(game.StarterGUI.ReplicatedUIS) do
                    if v.Name == gui then
                       gui:Clone.Parent = plr.PlayerGui.Wherever
                end
            end
        end
     end
end)

Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local Data
        if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
          local success, err = pcall(function()
                  Data = data =  DS:GetAsync(plr.UserId.."Key")
            end)

          if not data then
               DS:SetAsync(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent).UserId.."Key")
        end
    end
end)

basically here, you just put the gui you want to duplicate or idk and then with the data you just go in a loop trough the children of wherever you put the UIS in this example when you touch a part the data get saved
