I'd just like to say that I'm a beginner and so I rely on tutorials and such, and don't have a great understanding of datastore yet. But the tools I want to save have defined number values, they are the same tool, but for instance, one would deal more damage than the other. The values are randomly generated and so I don't think it'd be worth the effort to create many of the same tools and add them in one folder in Server Storage.
local ds = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("ToolSave")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
local key = "id-"..plr.userId
pcall(function()
local tools = ds:GetAsync(key)
if tools then
for i,v in pairs(tools) do
local tool = game.ServerStorage.Tools:FindFirstChild(v)
if tool then
tool:Clone().Parent = plr:WaitForChild("Backpack")
tool:Clone().Parent = plr:WaitForChild("StarterGear")
end
end
end
end)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr)
local key = "id-"..plr.userId
pcall(function()
local toolsToSave = {}
for i,v in pairs(plr.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
if v then
table.insert(toolsToSave,v.Name)
end
end
ds:SetAsync(key,toolsToSave)
end)
end)
