item data store problem

[fallen flower]

how do i make it that tools doesn't disappear on leave/reset? Devforum says to use UnequipTools() but it doesn't work....

(this code is not a full code)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player: Player)
    save(player)

    if playerdata[player] then
        table.clear(playerdata[player])
    end
    
    player.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function(char)
        char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"):UnequipTools()
    end)
    
    playerdata[player] = nil
end)

Unequiptools unequips the tool that the player is holding and puts it back in their inventory

Oh wait do you want it to unequip like that or do you want all their tools to drop in front of them?

i want the item that is being held not disappear when you leave/reset

** You are now Level 1! **

[fallen flower]

(yes it saves on leave but item you hold is disappearing)

[rustic tundra]

Wdym

Like you want it to keep being held?

[fallen flower]

when i hold an item, it disappears on leaving/resetting, but other items are being saved

[rustic tundra]

Ohh

[fallen flower]

im wondering how to make it not disappear on leaving or resetting

[rustic tundra]

So youre saying it isnt saving?

[fallen flower]

yeah

and if you do it with other items they disappear too

[rustic tundra]

Okay i get it now

Can i see your saving code?

And loading

[fallen flower]

it's too long to be sent as text

[rustic tundra]

Send it as a file

[fallen flower]

alr

Im pretty sure when you hold the tool the tool will move from the backpack to the character

[rustic tundra]

Yh

[hollow crag]

So you can try finding the tool inside of the player character and save it

[rustic tundra]

Yeah thats why i wanna see their code

[fallen flower]

here

[rustic tundra]

Yh it looks all fine

Like vice said in your saving code find a model in the players character which is of itemclass tool

But idk if thatwill work if the person leaves

So a better way i think is

[fallen flower]

I'm just new to Roblox studio really no idea what to do

[rustic tundra]

Check when a tool is added to the players backpack

When that runs add it to a table that has the all the players items in it

When a tool is removed remove it from the table

And add a copy of every tool in serverstorage

When they load in

You can read the table

And clone a copy of all their tools into their backback from serverstorage

I made something like this once hold on
