ive used GetAsync() as in a variable then looped my table "ValsToset" with the datastore table "saves" to set the values but everytime i try to get the values they wouldnt be able to set

01local event1 = Instance.new("RemoteEvent",game.ReplicatedStorage)--outfit1
02event1.Name = "outfit1"
03local event2 = Instance.new("RemoteEvent",game.ReplicatedStorage)
04event2.Name = "outfit2"
05local event3 = Instance.new("RemoteEvent",game.ReplicatedStorage)
06event3.Name = "outfit3"
07 
08 
09event1.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player,plr,data)
10    print 'fired'
11    local outfit1 = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Outfit1")
12    local key = "player-"..plr.userId
13    local plrstats = plr.Customization--Order in stats are saved {Hairs,Face,Shirt,Pants,Accessories1-5"}
14 
15    local valsToset = {
16        plrstats.Hair.Value,
17        plrstats.Hair2.Value,
18        plrstats.Face.Value,
19        plrstats.Shirt.Value,
20        plrstats.Pants.Value,
21        plrstats.Accessory1.Value,
22        plrstats.Accessory2.Value,
23        plrstats.Accessory3.Value,
24        plrstats.Accessory4.Value,
25        plrstats.Accessory5.Value,
26    }
27 
28 
29    local saves = outfit1:GetAsync(key)
30 
31    if data == "save" then
32        print 'saving'
33        outfit1:SetAsync(key,valsToset)
34        print 'saved'
35    for i,v in pairs(valsToset) do     
36        print(v)
37    end
38 
39    elseif data == "load" then--looping the tables values with saved to load them in
40        print 'loading'
41    for i,v in pairs(valsToset) do     
42            valsToset[i] = saves[i]
43            print(valsToset[i])
44    end
45    elseif data == "check" then
46        print 'checking'
47    for i,v in pairs(saves) do

What do you mean? Setting the values doesn't work? GoldenPhysics 474 — 8y

In the save, you probably want to set the Value of all the IntValues:

01local event1 = Instance.new("RemoteEvent",game.ReplicatedStorage)--outfit1
02event1.Name = "outfit1"
03local event2 = Instance.new("RemoteEvent",game.ReplicatedStorage)
04event2.Name = "outfit2"
05local event3 = Instance.new("RemoteEvent",game.ReplicatedStorage)
06event3.Name = "outfit3"
07 
08 
09event1.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player,plr,data)
10    print 'fired'
11    local outfit1 = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Outfit1")
12    local key = "player-"..plr.userId
13    local plrstats = plr.Customization--Order in stats are saved {Hairs,Face,Shirt,Pants,Accessories1-5"}
14 
15    local vals = {
16        plrstats.Hair,
17        plrstats.Hair2,
18        plrstats.Face,
19        plrstats.Shirt,
20        plrstats.Pants,
21        plrstats.Accessory1,
22        plrstats.Accessory2,
23        plrstats.Accessory3,
24        plrstats.Accessory4,
25        plrstats.Accessory5,
26    }
27 
28    local valsToset = {}
29    for k,v in pairs(vals) do
30        valsToSet[k] = v.Value
31    end
32 
33    local saves = outfit1:GetAsync(key)
34 
35    if data == "save" then
36        print 'saving'
37        outfit1:SetAsync(key,valsToset)
38        print 'saved'
39    for i,v in pairs(valsToset) do     
40        print(v)
41    end
42 
43    elseif data == "load" then--looping the tables values with saved to load them in
44        print 'loading'
45    for i,v in pairs(vals) do     
46            vals[i].Value = saves[i]
47            print(saves[i])
48    end
49    elseif data == "check" then
50        print 'checking'
51    for i,v in pairs(saves) do     
52            print(saves[i])
