What do you want to save? Instances, integers, strings, booleans?

Its like an item storage, you can store items from your backpack into a box and take it out when you need it. I'm trying to make it save so when you leave it in the box then leave it doesn't go away.

You mean if you put it in the box then leave the server, then rejoin on another server, you want the items to still be there?

this is the storage script inside of it:

Gui = script.Parent
PGui = Gui.Parent
Player = PGui.Parent
if Player:FindFirstChild("Backpack") == nil then
Backpack = Instance.new("Backpack", Player)
end
Backpack = Player.Backpack
Container = Gui.Container
Pack = Container.Backpack
Chest = Container.Chest
Toggler = Gui.ToggleButton
Default = Gui.DefaultButton
ChestPos = Gui.ChestPos
if game:GetService("Lighting"):FindFirstChild("Storage Container") == nil then
Instance.new("CFrameValue", game:GetService("Lighting")).Name = "Storage Container"
end
Storage1 = game:GetService("Lighting")["Storage Container"]
if Storage1:FindFirstChild(Player.Name) == nil then
Instance.new("CFrameValue", Storage1).Name = Player.Name
end
LocalStorage = Storage1[Player.Name]
Enabled = false
CanTransfer = true
SizeX = Default.Size.X.Scale
SizeY = Default.Size.Y.Scale
MaxX = 1 / SizeX
MaxY = 1 / SizeY
MaxStorage = MaxX * MaxY
function ToggleContainer()
if Enabled == false then
Enabled = true
Toggler.Text = "CLOSE"
UpdateContainer()
else
Enabled = false
Toggler.Text = "CHEST"
ClearContainer()
end
end
function Transfer(Weapon, TargetContainer)
if CanTransfer == true and Weapon ~= nil and Weapon.Parent ~= nil and TargetContainer ~= nil and TargetContainer.Parent ~= nil then
if TargetContainer == LocalStorage and #LocalStorage:GetChildren() >= MaxStorage then
return
end

Weapon.Parent = TargetContainer
UpdateContainer()
CanTransfer = true
end
end
function ClearContainer()
local Guis = Pack:GetChildren()
if #Guis > 0 then

Guis[X]:Remove()
end
end
local Guis = Chest:GetChildren()
if #Guis > 0 then
for X = 1, #Guis do
Guis[X]:Remove()
end
end
Pack.Text = "[ BACKPACK ]"
Chest.Text = "[ CHEST ]"
Container.Visible = false
end
function UpdateContainer()
ClearContainer()
local Current = 0
local Weapons = Backpack:GetChildren()
if #Weapons > 0 then
for X = 1, #Weapons do
if Weapons[X] ~= nil and Weapons[X].ClassName == "Tool" and Weapons[X]:FindFirstChild("Handle") ~= nil and Current < MaxStorage then

end

local Current = 0

for X = 1, #Weapons do

end
end
end

end

while true do
wait(0.25)

Datastores. Just save the key as their userId (not name, they can change their name) and so you can differentiate make it something like userId..Chest1

Do I need to make a script where players have their own code so when they leave then come back the code recognizes the player and grants the items in the box?

Also, you should use ServerStorage or ReplicatedStorage instead of lighting to store instances that aren't meant to be inside the workspace, or are needed to be put in the workspace at a later time.

No, because the argument has to be a string.
