If player has Premium then they can go through a part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I have a fairly simple script where if a player has premium they can go through a part else they cannot.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
if player.MembershipType == Enum.MembershipType.Premium then
	script.Parent.CanCollide = false
else
	script.Parent.CanCollide = true
end

Why is this not working?

Is the script a local or serverscript?

Is this program written in a LocalScript object, or is it written in a Script object? It must be placed in the LocalScript object for it to work. Also, this script must be inside of the part.

This is a normal script within the part.

The MembershipType property only works inside a LocalScript. Try copy and pasting inside a LocalScript.

If it’s a server script, you can’t get the player by doing LocalPlayer. Besides, you should make this a local script anyway, because if you don’t then the part will have CanCollide false for everyone.

Future reference, this is wrong. It can be accessed from both.

you need to make it a local script. you can’t call localplayer over a normal server script. Also you can change the part properties through a local script if you are scared it won’t change through the client.

Ah, my bad. Read the devwiki wrong

I would recommend doing this with a server script, as clients can change their membership status with exploits if they really wanted to.

Code taken from the wiki tutorial

local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")
local premiumDoors = "PremiumDoors"
 
-- Create door collision groups
PhysicsService:CreateCollisionGroup(premiumDoors)
PhysicsService:SetPartCollisionGroup(workspace.PremiumDoor, premiumDoors)

local premiumPlayers = "PremiumPlayers"
-- Create player collision groups
PhysicsService:CreateCollisionGroup(premiumPlayers)

local function setCollisionGroup(character, groupName)
	for _, child in ipairs(character:GetChildren()) do
		if child:IsA("BasePart") then
			PhysicsService:SetPartCollisionGroup(child, groupName)
		end
	end
	character.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(descendant)
		if descendant:IsA("BasePart") then
			PhysicsService:SetPartCollisionGroup(descendant, groupName)
		end
	end)
end

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
 
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	local function onCharacterAdded(character)
		if player.MembershipType == Enum.MembershipType.Premium then
			setCollisionGroup(character, premiumPlayers)
		end
	end
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

PhysicsService:CollisionGroupSetCollidable(premiumDoors, premiumPlayers, false)
