How do I make a gun saving script for the players that have bought guns?

Asked 213 views1 answers

So I need help with making a script that will use 'datastore' to save guns that people have bought from the gun gui shop but I cant figure it out. I have similar code that uses 'datastore' to save stats like money. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

--[[local DSService = game:GetService('DataStoreService'):GetDataStore('Protectiveroboz')
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	--Define varibles
	local uniquekey='id'..plr.userId
	local leaderstats = Instance.new('IntValue',plr)
	local savevalue = Instance.new('IntValue')
	leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'
	savevalue.Parent = leaderstats
	savevalue.Name = 'Points'
	
	-- GetAsync
	local GetSaved = DSService:GetAsync(uniquekey)
	if GetSaved then
		savevalue.Value = GetSaved[1]
	else
		local NumbersForSaving = {savevalue.Value}
		DSService:SetAsync(uniquekey,NumbersForSaving)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr)
	local uniquekey = 'id-'..plr.userId
	local Savetable = {plr.leaderstats.Points.Value}
	DSService:SetAsync(uniquekey, Savetable)
	
	
end)]]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thats the code but does anyone know how to change it to save weapons?

Well, you have to create a table that saves the names of the tools, then when they rejoin, find the tool's name in wherever it is and give it to them

Sure. Script a for loop which finds all the weapons that the player has bought. It might look like this:

local tableForSavingWeapons = {}

for i,v in pairs() do -- use the GetChildren() for wherever you keep the weapons the player has purchased 
	tableForSavingWeapons[1] = v.Name
end

then save that table into your datastore. When a player joins the game just loop through all the items a player can buy with a for loop and give them all the items that match with the ones in the table you got from the datastore.
