Checking if a user has gamepass

Pigioty · November 19, 2021, 4:53am

What I want to achieve: Check if the user has a gamepass and if so add a else statement to a function

thats basically it

Inconcludable · November 19, 2021, 5:02am

If you want to run something if they DON’T have a gamepass, you can try this

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local gamepassId = 0 -- Put gamepass ID here

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	if not MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(gamepassId) -- Check if they don't own it
		-- Run code
	end
end)

This runs every time someone joins the game, but it works the same way with just the if statement.

I was gonna do something like

(if they got gamepass then)
My script i got

else:
other code

Inconcludable · November 19, 2021, 5:05am

Ah. Should be similar then!

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local gamepassId = 0 -- Put gamepass ID here

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	if MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(gamepassId)
		-- Run gamepass stuff
	else
		-- Run normal stuff
	end
end)

alright thx ima try this, also would this word in a local and normal script?

Inconcludable · November 19, 2021, 5:07am

Not sure, but if it does, it’s easily exploitable. You’re probably better off handling everything serverside (aside from visual changes)

Pigioty · November 19, 2021, 5:07am

all that would be handled in the local script would be a useless part of leaderstats basically

Pigioty · November 19, 2021, 5:11am

So would this be good? (this is my script inside server script service)

local rs = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local sizeEvent = rs:WaitForChild('SizeEvent')

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local gamepassId = 25131282 -- Put gamepass ID here

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	if MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(gamepassId) then
	
		sizeEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, size)

			plr.Character.Humanoid.HeadScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.HeadScale.Value + .1
			plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value + .1
			plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value + .1
			plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value + .1
		end)
		else
	sizeEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, size)

		plr.Character.Humanoid.HeadScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.HeadScale.Value + .05
		plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value + .05
		plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value + .05
		plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value + .05
	end)
end
end)

this is prob so wrong cause its also not working incase you need to know this is the local script

local frame = script.Parent

local grow = frame.Grow

local grow_val = 1


local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local rs = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local sizeEvent = rs:WaitForChild('SizeEvent')


grow.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	sizeEvent:FireServer(grow_val)
	game.Workspace.Click:Play()
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Size.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Size.Value + 1
	game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView + .25
end)

Alright, I did some testing and it appears it DOES work in LocalScripts.

Also, OnServerEvent returns the player who called it, and since you’re binding it to the same event, it’ll remain the same for all incoming remotes. You may be better off checking if they own the gamepass inside the OnServerEvent function.

Pigioty · November 19, 2021, 5:15am

my tiny brain cant handle that

Inconcludable · November 19, 2021, 5:19am

Okay, let me try again.

When you connect a function the a RemoteEvent, binding another will not clear it. When a client fires a remote event, ALL of the bound functions will be run. And since you’re binding more when players join, the more times players join, the more events that will be fired.

Pigioty · November 19, 2021, 5:21am

Wait so would I need to put how adds onto leaderstats inside of that normal script?

Inconcludable · November 19, 2021, 5:54am

Yes, if you update leaderstats from LocalScripts, it won’t update/save/show for other players.

FaKeLoL2006 · November 19, 2021, 2:46pm

Try This:

local GAMEPASS_ID = 0 // Type Something Here
local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketPlaceService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
        if MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(GAMEPASS_ID)
              -- Your Code Here
        else
             -- Also Code Here
   end
end)

Pigioty · November 19, 2021, 5:31pm

Wait this is giving me the error.attempt to index nil with ‘WaitForChild’ in line 7?

local rs = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local sizeEvent = rs:WaitForChild('SizeEvent')

sizeEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, size)
	
	game.Workspace.Click:Play()
	game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Size").Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Size").Value + 1
	game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView + .25
	plr.Character.Humanoid.HeadScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.HeadScale.Value + .05
	plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value + .05
	plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value + .05
	plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value + .05
end)

Local Player is nil. Your probably using this in a server script

Pigioty · November 19, 2021, 5:51pm

I am. I am trying to put this to where it updates the leaderboards for size inside of server script.
I have in the localscript to connect to SizeEvent and for it to track if they clicked

TintinDevs · November 19, 2021, 5:53pm

Uhm… the first parameter is literally ‘plr’… replace game.Players.Localplayer with plr since it is defined in the event receiver sizeEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, size)

Pigioty · November 19, 2021, 5:56pm

I did that

local rs = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local sizeEvent = rs:WaitForChild('SizeEvent')

sizeEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, size)
	
	game.Workspace.Click:Play()
	plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Size").Value = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Size").Value + 1
	game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView + .25
	plr.Character.Humanoid.HeadScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.HeadScale.Value + .05
	plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value + .05
	plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value + .05
	plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value = plr.Character.Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value + .05
end)

Now i get no error but nothing i happening at all when I click it

TintinDevs · November 19, 2021, 5:57pm

Do you receive a ‘click sound’? Also it would be smart to replace
plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Size").Value = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Size").Value + 1
with plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Size").Value +=1
