My DataStore isn't working and has no error, can anyone help me fix this?

Can you guys tell me what the problem is?

ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("RM")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    local key = "id-" .. player.userId
    local gs = ds:GetAsync(key)
    tbl = {}
    local gui = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Inventory")
    local frame = gui:WaitForChild("Inventry")
    local list1 = frame:WaitForChild("list"):WaitForChild("1")
    table.insert(tbl, list1.Image.Texture.Value)
    table.insert(tbl, list1.Item.Text)
    table.insert(tbl, list1.Qty.qty.Value)
    -- I have 3 table.inserts only because it gave me an error when I put all these in one ok
    if gs then
        tbl[1] = gs[1]
        tbl[2] = gs[2]
        tbl[3] = gs[3]
    else
        ds:SetAsync(key, tbl)
    end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
    local key = "id-" .. player.userId
    ds:SetAsync(key, tbl)
end)

The problem is you are setting the table to the datastore if the datastore exists then setting the datastore to the table when the player leaves (setting it to itself). This is what you should do.

ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("RM")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    local key = "id-" .. player.userId
    local gs = ds:GetAsync(key)
    local gui = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Inventory")
    local frame = gui:WaitForChild("Inventry")
    local list1 = frame:WaitForChild("list"):WaitForChild("1")
    if gs then
        list1.Image.Texture.Value = gs[1]
        list1.Item.Text = gs[2]
        list1.Qty.qty.Value = gs[3]
    else
        local tbl = {}
        table.insert(tbl, list1.Image.Texture.Value)
        table.insert(tbl, list1.Item.Text)
        table.insert(tbl, list1.Qty.qty.Value)
        ds:SetAsync(key, tbl)
    end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
    local key = "id-" .. player.userId
    local gui = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Inventory")
    local frame = gui:WaitForChild("Inventry")
    local list1 = frame:WaitForChild("list"):WaitForChild("1")
    local tbl = {}
    table.insert(tbl, list1.Image.Texture.Value)
    table.insert(tbl, list1.Item.Text)
    table.insert(tbl, list1.Qty.qty.Value)
    ds:SetAsync(key, tbl)
end)

Now when the player joins the datastore values will be loaded into list1 and when they leave list1's value will be saved to the datastore

No problem. Datastores are hard to get the hang of, but once you do they can be very useful. I use them to save stats, ranks, and ban times. justoboy13 153 — 6y

Not sure if this is your problem but in line 8: local frame = gui:WaitForChild("Inventry")
