How to save purchased items from a shop with datastore?
So currently I have a working shop where players can purchase stuff, and when they do a remote is fired to the server for which sword that was, then if the player has the money it will clone the tool from the serverstorage into the player's backpack. What I wanted to do is make it so these tools are saved and when a player joins the game automatically gives them their purchased tools.
My original idea was to have a bool value inside each tool in the serverstorage to check whether it had been purchased or not, but then I realised if I do that then when the value changes, the tool will show as bought for everyone? Sorry if that's confusing, just advice on how to begin creating this sort of system?

Try this:
local ItemStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Items")
local Items = {plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild("")} --Add the name of the item and if you want to add more just do: , plr.Backpack:FindFirstChild("") and add the name of the other item
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local vSave = ItemStore:GetAsync(PlayerKey)
if vSave then
Items = vSave[1]
else
ItemStore:SetAsync(PlayerKey, {Items})
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local PlayerKey = "player-"..plr.UserId
ItemStore:SetAsync(PlayerKey, {Items})
end)
