Hello there! I have been looking at youtube tutorials and just cant find out what the error is with my script. Its supposed to when you click show you that you can buy a gamepass but i tried using some prints. Everything printed exept for print 5 here is the script:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
print(“print1”)
local button = script.Parent
print(“print2”)
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService(“MarketplaceService”)
print(“print3”)
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print(“print4”)
MarketplaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(plr, 0000000) --id instead of 0000000
print(“print5”)
end)

Highly recommend watching devking: https://youtu.be/3hMmhmC18RA

AFAIK you can’t prompt gamepass purchases on the client (LocalScript). You have to call a RemoteEvent to tell the server that the client calling it wants to buy an item.

#4

Instead of just providing where the script failed could you give any errors that were logged in the Output. 95% of the time these clarify the issue rather quickly.

#5

in output it just says
MarketplaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase() player should be of type Player, but is of type nil

#6

Your script is most likely trying to fire the PromptGamePassPurchase(Player) function before the player is loaded.

Kind of a sloppy fix:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService(“MarketplaceService”)
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait() -- not really necessary / practical

local plr = Players.LocalPlayer

local button = script.Parent

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    MarketplaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(plr, id)
end)
#7

wouldnt i instead of this use
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(Spawned)

#8

No, PlayerAdded won’t fire for the LocalPlayer.

#9

When testing in studio and i already own the gamepass and its in team create is it supposed to say “You already own this item. Your account has not been charged.”?

#10

Try this method instead:

Create a RemoteEvent inside of ReplicatedStorage called “PromptPurchase”. Then, create a ServerScript inside of ServerScriptService with the following code:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local promt = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PromtPurchase")
local passId = -- your GamePassId

promt.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    MarketplaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(player, passId)
end)

Then, in a LocalScript inside of your button, write the following code:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local prompt = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("PromptPurchase")

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    prompt:FireServer()
end)

I scripted this quickly without any testing, so please let me know if you run into any errors.

is it supposed to say that in team create?

#12

If you already own the gamepass, it will let you know. But in playtesting you should get a “Test Purchase” prompt.

im sorry for waisting everybodys time but it was because i was using a regular Script and not a LocalScript i am so sorry for my stupidity!

You need to use a ServerScript (regular script) for the prompt, but use a LocalScript for the button. Did you try my method?

#15

No worries! I got it working because i realized it was a Script instead of a LocalScript!
