Whenever a player loads into the server their inventory is saved, meaning all items inside are placed into player.backpack.
If a player dies or reset all the items dissapear from the gui, they are still inside the player.backpack but the gui doesnt show them anymore.
the DataStoreScript i use:
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local store = ds:GetDataStore("saveStore")
local library = rs:WaitForChild("Library")
--< directory functions
local dir = {}
local function edit(player, list)
dir[player.Name] = list
end
local function setup(player, list)
for i = 1, #list do
local tool = library:FindFirstChild(list[i])
if tool then
local clone = tool:Clone()
clone.Parent = player.Backpack
else
print(list[i] .. " not found")
end
end
end
--< player events
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local ready = false
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
local bp = player.Backpack
local data = nil
if ready == false then
ready = true
data = store:GetAsync(player.UserId)
if data then
setup(player, data)
edit(player, data)
end
end
char.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
char.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
local old = player.StarterGear:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #old do
old[i]:Destroy()
end
local new = player.Backpack:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #new do
new[i].Parent = player.StarterGear
end
end)
--< adjuster
local count = 0
local function adjust()
if char.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
local list = {}
local equipped = char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
if equipped then
table.insert(list, equipped.Name)
end
local tools = bp:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #tools do
table.insert(list, tools[i].Name)
end
if count ~= #list then
edit(player, list)
count = #list
end
end
end
--< child events
bp.ChildAdded:connect(adjust)
bp.ChildRemoved:connect(adjust)
char.ChildAdded:connect(function(child)
if child.ClassName == "Tool" then

end)

def not a free model ANYWAYS i feel like line 9 of the local script should have v:IsA instead of v:isA. I might be wrong though
if that was not the problem then you mind showing any dev console errors?
There are no errors, the problem is within the datastore script. If its disabled the backpack works fine but doesnt save between joining and leaving the place as thats where i need the datasave for. i thought something with this function or line was causing the problem
nvm fixed it
