Hello! I have a very similar issue to this topic here:

You can skim through the topic and see my problem. I’ve been waiting for a bit and nobody seemed to reply, so I thought that I will make a new topic just for this since that topic already was marked as solved.

More Info on this:

  • I have many other things I use for DataStore2, I’m not to sure if its because I have too much of data to keep up with the update. (they are: Currency(Combined to Coins, Level), Inventory(Combined), and Slots(Combined) ~ this is the one giving me issues).

If you have any questions, don’t understand, or need more code please tell me! Thank you.

I am not sure myself what did the 2nd Arguement did Datastore2 return but the reason why it’s not update because it didn’t return Instance you want to update i edit some code

for key, stringValue in pairs(slotsStore) do	local curSlot = player.Slots:FindFirstChild(key)	updateEquippedSlots(stringValue:Get(defaultEquippedSlots[key]), curSlot)	stringValue:OnUpdate(function(newString)	updateEquippedSlots(newString, curSlot)	end)	end

Basically just pass the Instance you want to update to the updateEquippedSlots function
(tell me if there still problem)

I replaced it with your code and it’s still the same issue. It only changes when I rejoin not when in-game.

4

So that mean the value is change and save but won’t fire onUpdate Event?

5

Yup! It won’t change when I’m in-game equipping something.

6

Can I see the code where you change value? Or you edit value on explorers?

I change the value by when someone clicks a button it fires a remote function to the server.

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Functions").Equip.OnServerInvoke = function(player, itemName)	local char = player.Character	local slotsStore = {	GearSlot1 = DataStore2("GearSlot1", player),	GearSlot2 = DataStore2("GearSlot2", player),	GearSlot3 = DataStore2("GearSlot3", player),	PerkSlot = DataStore2("PerkSlot", player),	}	local item, inInventory, isEquipped	item = game:GetService("ServerStorage").GameItems.Gears:FindFirstChild(itemName)	for _, category in pairs(player.Inventory:GetChildren()) do	if category:FindFirstChild(itemName) then	inInventory = true	if category:FindFirstChild(itemName).Value == true then	isEquipped = true	else	isEquipped = false end	break	end	end	if inInventory then	-- If the player owns the item	print("in inventory")	wait(1)	for index, slot in pairs(player.Slots:GetChildren()) do	print(index)	print(slotsStore[slot.Name])	print(slot.Name)	local slotStore = slotsStore[slot.Name]	if slotStore:Get(defaultEquippedSlots[slot.Name]) == itemName then	print("no")	print(slot)	slotStore:Set("", slot)	print(slot.Value)	--[[if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(itemName) then	player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(itemName):Destroy()	player.StarterGear:FindFirstChild(itemName):Destroy()	elseif player.Character:FindFirstChild(itemName) then	player.Character:FindFirstChild(itemName):Destroy()	player.StarterGear:FindFirstChild(itemName):Destroy()	break	end]]	return "Unequip"	elseif slotStore:Get(defaultEquippedSlots[slot.Name]) == "" then	print(item.Parent)	print(item.Name)	print("item set")	slotStore:Set(item.Name, slot)	print(slotStore:Get(defaultEquippedSlots[slot.Name]))	return "Equip"	end	end end end

hmm maybe change this to

slotStore:Set("")

I think set only accept 1 Argument

this one too set to

slotStore:Set(item.Name)
