You can either make a GUI notification show at the bottom of the screen or have the system send a message to the chat.

for _, player in pairs (game.Players:GetChildren()) do
local playerGui = player.PlayerGui
end

This will access the PlayerGui of every player on the server in a loop.

This is not what he meant, he wants to know how you could know when the player buys the shirt and then display it in a GUI as a server notification.

I am pretty sure its possible if the purchase was made in game, I might be wrong because I haven’t really worked with shirt purchases, but there are marketplace events that allow you to know if the purchase went through. I will get back to you shortly.

Okay, so you can use MarketPlaceService .

There is this event called “PromptPurchaseFinished”, you can use this to check if the player bought the shirt and then fireallclients using a remote event to show the servernotification to everyone.

local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local ShirtID = 00000 -- put your shirt id here

MarketPlaceService.PromptPurchaseFinished:Connect(function(UserId,ProductId,IsPurchased)
	if ProductId == ShirtID and IsPurchased then
		local playerName = game.Players:GetPlayerByUserId(UserId).Name
		NotificationEvent:FireAllClients(playerName)
	end
end)

It’s pseudocode, @CelestialHonour made an example, not 100% working code. You’re going to have to build on his code to make your own, add RemoteEvents and so on.

Well, you have to define the event and work on the server notification code, I cannot help you with the whole thing. I did my best and showed you the path, you just gotta make remote events and work on the local script in gui. :smile:

Add RemoteEvent Called ‘PurchaisedNotification’ in ReplicatedStorage

ServerScript:

local ms = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local PurchaseId = 1233838337 -- Your Shirt ID here
ms.PromptPurchaseFinished:Connect(function(plr, purchaseid, purchased)
	if purchaseid == PurchaseId and purchased then
		local plrName
		for  _, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
			if v.UserId == plr then
				plrName = v.Name
			end
		end
		game.ReplicatedStorage.PurchaisedNotification:FireAllClients({
			Text = ("Message Here!");
			Color = Color3.fromRGB(206, 165, 255);
			Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansBold;
			TextSize = 18
		})
	end
end)

Add LocalScript in StarterGui:

game.ReplicatedStorage.PurchaisedNotification.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(data)
   game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", data)
end)

This works but is there anyway I could like make it say in the message the player who bought the shirt there name would come and it would say bought a shirt

#11

with your own gui?
(char limit)

#12

Like something like this

	Text = (plrName.."Bought a shirt!");
#13

Then you can change that line maybe

#14

There I did it

Text = (plr.Name.." Bought a shirt!");
#16

actually, plr return player’s UserId.
