How could I save gear purchased with in-game currency?
Hi guys, I've built a script for an ingame shop GUI that allows players to buy gear with "points" which is a leaderstats currency and is saved using datastores. However, i've noticed a major issue with this script which is that when a player leaves the game or dies, the gear they purchased is removed from their inventory and they'd have to buy it again. Here is my script so far...
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer points = player.leaderstats.Points price = script.Parent.Cost.Value tool = game.Lighting.Tools.Speedcoil function buy() if points.Value >= price then points.Value = points.Value - price local a = tool:clone() a.Parent = player.Backpack local b = tool:clone() b.Parent = player.StarterGear end end script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(buy)
Please note that this is inside a localscript.
Any help is appreciated!

You can save gears that they have bought in-game.
All you would have to do is create a script for a datastore and do something like this:
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("GearData")
local GameTools = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Tools")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local Data = DataStore:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
if Data then
for i,v in pairs(Data) do
local Tool = GameTools:FindFirstChild(v)
if Tool then
local ClonedTool = Tool:Clone()
ClonedTool.Parent = Player:WaitForChild("StarterGear")
if not Player:WaitForChild("Backpack"):FindFirstChild(ClonedTool.Name) then
local ClonedTool2 = Tool:Clone()
ClonedTool2.Parent = Player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
end
end
end
end
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
local Backpack = Player:WaitForChild("Backpack")
local Tools = {}
for i,v in pairs(Backpack:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(Tools,v.Name)
end
DataStore:SetAsync(Player.UserId,Tools)
end)
Not sure if it will work like that I just wrote that code on a text editor not roblox studio but it would work something like that for a datastore to save tools that the player has
