How to detect a GamePass?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello. I have a VIP gamepass in my upcoming game. I want it so that if the player buys or owns the gamepass it calls a remote event that activates the features. How do I do this?

No need to use remote events; just use the UserOwnsGamePassAsync to check if a player owns the game pass or not, and if they do, enable the feature.

Ok. I wont use remote events, But how would I make the script though?

What I would do is to make it into a .PlayerAdded or a .MouseButton1Click event, and then make an if statement to check if the user owns the requested game pass. If not, I would simply use the return function to return to the script.

You can do like this:

local mps = game:GetService("MarketPlaceService")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    if mps:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, GamePassID) then
        givespecialpower() -- Change it to whatever u want
    end
end

where do I insert the gamepass id?

In the second parameter from where the UserOwnsGamePassAsync function is called in

It has 2 parameters I believe:

  • Parameter 1: The Player’s UserID
  • Parameter 2: The Gamepass ID, or 00000000 (Which is just a placeholder)

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local passId = 00000 -- your gamepass ID

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    if MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, passId) then
        print('player owns gamepass!') -- do what you want here
    end
end)

In order to check if someone owns a gamepass, you can use MarketplaceService’s UserOwnsGamePassAsync(UserId, GamePassID).

That being said, heres a quick example on how it works:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService('MarketplaceService')
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local GamePassID = 000000

local function CheckGamePass(UserId)
	return MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(UserId, GamePassID)
end

local function PlayerAdded(Player)
	print(CheckGamePass(Player.UserId)) -- prints true if owned, false if not.
end

local GetPlayers = Players:GetPlayers()
for i = 1, #GetPlayers do
	local Player = GetPlayers[i]
	PlayerAdded(Player)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded)

Add it in the second parameter of the function. If you want to know how to get the gamepass ID, then you can inspect the URL of your gamepass.

  1. Click on your gamepass
  2. Check the URL, there should be an 8 digit number.
  3. Copy that number and paste it in the GamePassID parameter
    And done.
