Saving Instances With Data Store?

On the wiki of datastores, It says Saves arbitrary lua tables, besides strings, booleans and numbers. Instances cannot be saved directly though. How would i save it (indirectly)?

Although you can't directly save Instances to DataStores, there's an alternative.. when a player leaves save a table full of the names of the parts you want to save. Then upon a player entering iterate through that table, finding and cloning any matches you find from ServerStorage. You'd have to put all possible parts in ServerStorage.

Example;

local ds = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('Instances')
local holder = game.SeverStorage

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	local data = ds:GetAsync(plr.userId)
	for i,v in pairs(data or {}) do --'or {}' is in case there's no data
		local part = holder:FindFirstChild(v)
		if part then
			part:Clone().Parent = workspace
		end
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr)
	local data = ds:GetAsync(plr.userId)
	if data ~= nil then
		ds:UpdateAsync(plr.userId, function(old) return {"Part","Part1","Part2"} end)
	else
		ds:SetAsync(plr.userId, {"Part","Part1","Part2"})
	end
end)
