This is really confusing to me How do I make a i,v in pairs loop ,loop a string value using v?
So this script is a data saving backpack script Inventory is a Folder that holds all the items this folder is in the serverstorage Classification is a StringValue to Classify the item name I added it because I tend to change the name of my tool sometimes by mistake and as you know this script uses SetAsync() which means once I join a server with changed name it will be gone forever
as you can see im looping using v but on line 6 it saids and im trying to figure out how I can get this i,v in pairs to loop and get to Classification
local weopon = game.ServerStorage.Inventory:FindFirstChild(v):Clone()
so that it syncs with
table.insert(Table,v:WaitForChild('Classification').Value)--insert whatever is found in the table
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore('ToolSave')--
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) --when the player is added to the game in the player properties
local savedstuff = DataStore:GetAsync(plr.userId)-- saved stuff variable means The Data of the player using userID
if savedstuff ~= nil then --if the data is not nil continue this script
for i,v in pairs(savedstuff) do --for i,v in pairs the Data Inventory
if game.ServerStorage.Inventory:FindFirstChild(v) ~= nil then --Try looop and try find the inventory and if its not nil then continue
local weopon = game.ServerStorage.Inventory:FindFirstChild(v):Clone() --if it isnt nil the clone it
weopon.Parent = plr:WaitForChild('Backpack')-- Puts this in the backpack
end
end
end
plr.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function()-- When character is being removed from the game
plr.Character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()-- Un equip the weopons
end)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)-- when player is being removed
local Table = {}-- Creates a table
for i,v in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do-- for i,v in pairs loop around the backpacks childrens
table.insert(Table,v:WaitForChild('Classification').Value)--insert whatever is found in the table
end
if Table ~= nil then-- if table is not nil when the player leaves the game save the game
DataStore:SetAsync(plr.userId,Table)-- if it is not equal to nil then Set the Data to that using user iD and putting table into it
end
end)

I think you've mistaken v for the table it gets when you do the for i,v in pairs. For i,v in pairs just makes so you can say like v.Value = v.Value + 10 and it will do that for every child in the table. So do something more like . . .
for i,v in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do -- Gathers the children of player.Backpack.
if v.Name == "Classification" then -- Checks every child in the backpack to see if its name is "Classification".
local classification = v.Value -- Sets a variable to be the value of the string.
end
end
It just repeats the command with v being the child it's on. So it would check all of the children and for all of the children that have the name of "Classification", it would do whatever you need it to. Hope this helped!
