Game pass purchases prompt issues

TyDye8 · April 29, 2020, 5:26pm

Hello, I am trying to make it so a action is only performed if a game pass is owned and if it is not owned a purchase is promoted (this works). However, while doing a test purchase in studio and tapping the button again it only prompts me to buy it again. The intended behavior is that you get promoted once and (assuming you buy) it you can tap the button again and the menu will open.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
   if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, 9043066) then
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Colors.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.FaceList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.HatsList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ShirtList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.PantsList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Egg2008.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Egg2010.Visible = true
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SpecialMenu.Visible = false
		else
		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(player, 9043066)
   end
end
)

I hope this wasn’t to confusing and this should be my last thread about game passes!

Just so I understand this correctly. You’re wanting to make a unlock button gamepass? Until the player own the gamepass their not able to press on the button? But when they do they can hen open it?

If the player presses the button with out owning the game pass they will be prompted to buy it. If they own the game pass then the menu will open

Alright. You should wrap it in a pcall function to properly handle it incase there is a error.

TyDye8 · April 29, 2020, 6:01pm

I don’t understand what you are talking about. I am just trying to make it so that the menu will be able to be opened after you buy the game pass without the need to rejoin

Okay, what I would do in this case would be as follows:
1. I would integrate that player owning the gamepass in the playerAdded function.
2. Create a boolvalue and parent it to the player (true or false)
3. Then When you check if the player owns the gamepass when they joined (if they own it, tick the boolvalue to true)
3. If they don’t then thats fine, prompt it for them and if they purchase it make the boolvalue equal to true
4. Where your GUI box is, when you use MouseButton1Down, make an if statement checking if the players boolvalue is true and if it is then what you want it to do.

Let me know if that helped you.

This is so confusing, how would I change a value when a game pass is bought.

By the way I updated my code a bit

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, 9043066) then
	script.Parent.Text = "Egg Hunt 2010"
end


script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
   if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, 9043066) then
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Colors.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.FaceList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.HatsList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ShirtList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.PantsList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Egg2008.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Egg2010.Visible = true
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SpecialMenu.Visible = false
		else
		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(player, 9043066)
   end
end
)

Edit: if anyone else has any other solution ideas then please suggest them

I mean you create a true or false variable, when the player joins the game check if the player owns it. If they do check the true or false varaible to true. Then where you have the script.Parent.MouseButton1Click, make a if plr.something.HasPass.Value == true then ur stuff, else promt purchase

TyDye8 · April 29, 2020, 8:19pm

I know that but that only happens when the game loads. This would mean the player would have to rejoin to use the game pass. Is there a way to detect if the purchases was successful and set the value to true if it was?

Haukly · April 29, 2020, 8:28pm

Yes there is. Here is an example, as you can access the prompt on the server:

local marketplace = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local sS = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local gamePassOneID = 0000000
local function onPromptGamePassPurchaseFinished(player, purchasedPassID, purchaseSuccess)
 
	if purchaseSuccess == true and purchasedPassID == gamePassOneID then
		sS.playerStats[player.Name].gamePasses.bamboS.Value = true --playerStats is a folder in ServerStorage  that stores the plrs data
	end
end

marketplace.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(onPromptGamePassPurchaseFinished)

This is an example of what happens after you prompt the purchase on a local script.

Alrighty! How would I implement this into my script.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, 9043064) then
	script.Parent.Text = "Egg Hunt 2008"
end


local marketplace = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local gamePassOneID = 9043064
local function onPromptGamePassPurchaseFinished(player, purchasedPassID, purchaseSuccess)
 
	if purchaseSuccess == true and purchasedPassID == gamePassOneID then
		player.egg08.Value = true
	end
end

marketplace.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(onPromptGamePassPurchaseFinished)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, 9043064) then
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.egg08.Value = true
	end
   if game.Players.LocalPlayer.egg08.Value == true then
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Colors.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.FaceList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.HatsList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ShirtList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.PantsList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Egg2008.Visible = true
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Egg2010.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SpecialMenu.Visible = false
	else
		onPromptGamePassPurchaseFinished(player, purchasedPassID, purchaseSuccess)
		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(player, 9043064)
   end
end
)

Please note that I had to change the server storage to be in player. My data is stored in the player.

Edit: I think I got it working!

Thats good to hear, sorry I got back to you so late. If it indeed is working don’t forget to select the solution tab.

TyDye8 · April 29, 2020, 10:21pm

I honestly don’t understand anymore…

This works

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, 9043064) then
	script.Parent.Text = "Egg Hunt 2008"
end


local marketplace = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local gamePassOneID = 9043064
local function onPromptGamePassPurchaseFinished(player, purchasedPassID, purchaseSuccess)
 
	if purchaseSuccess == true and purchasedPassID == gamePassOneID then
		player.egg08.Value = true
	end
end

marketplace.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(onPromptGamePassPurchaseFinished)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, 9043064) then
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.egg08.Value = true
	end
   if game.Players.LocalPlayer.egg08.Value == true then
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Colors.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.FaceList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.HatsList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ShirtList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.PantsList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Egg2008.Visible = true
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Egg2010.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SpecialMenu.Visible = false
	else
		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(player, 9043064)
		local function onPromptGamePassPurchaseFinished(player, purchasedPassID, purchaseSuccess)
		if purchaseSuccess == true and purchasedPassID == gamePassOneID then
			player.egg08.Value = true
			script.Parent.Text = "Egg Hunt 2008"
	end
end
   end
end
)

If you do not own the game pass it prompts you and if you buy it then you can get into the menu, like it should.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, 9043066) then
	script.Parent.Text = "Egg Hunt 2010"
end

local marketplace = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local gamePassOneID = 9043066
local function onPromptGamePassPurchaseFinished(player, purchasedPassID, purchaseSuccess)
 
	if purchaseSuccess == true and purchasedPassID == gamePassOneID then
		player.egg10.Value = true
	end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, 9043066) then
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.egg10.Value = true
	end
   if game.Players.LocalPlayer.egg10.Value == true then
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Colors.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.FaceList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.HatsList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ShirtList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.PantsList.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Egg2008.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Egg2010.Visible = true
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SpecialMenu.Visible = false
	else
	game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(player, 9043066)
		local function onPromptGamePassPurchaseFinished(player, purchasedPassID, purchaseSuccess)
		if purchaseSuccess == true and purchasedPassID == gamePassOneID then
			player.egg10.Value = true
			script.Parent.Text = "Egg Hunt 2010"
	end
	end
   end
end
)

This however, does not work. if you buy the game pass it just prompts you again.

Edit: I always figure it out after posting -_-
I forgot “marketplace.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(onPromptGamePassPurchaseFinished)”
