The easiest way to do this is by having a folder that stores all the tools and simply saving the name of the tools that the player has. That way to can clone the tool from the folder using if you know its name and give it to the player.
Loading Tools:
local dataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Tools")
local tools = game.ServerStorage.Tools
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function()
local key = player.userId
local userTools = dataStore:GetAsync(key) -- Table of tool names
for _, tool in ipairs(userTools) do
tools[tool].Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
end
end)
function giveTool(toolName)
local key = player.userId
local userTools = dataStore:GetAsync(key)
tools[toolName].Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
table.insert(userTools, toolName)
dataStore:SetAsync(key, userTools)
end
