Make GUI button Invisible if player has gamepass

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi im trying to make a button which says “Equip” if player has the gamepass and this will require me to make the button “Purchase” invisible.

local UI = game.StarterGui.ItemShopButton.Frame.ScrollingFrame.RainbowTrail --clone ui
local gamepassID = 86294878
	local MS = game:GetService("MarketPlaceService")

--now check if the player has the gamepass
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) --player added event
	if MS:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, gamepassID) then --check if player has gamepass
		UI.Parent = player.PlayerGui --set clone parent to playergui
		UI.Enabled = false--set gui enabled to true (optional)
	end
end)

I am currently using this script n serverscriptservice but it doesnt work as the purchase button (RainbowTrail" is still visible.

Anyone know how to help? Thankyou!

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local UI = Player.PlayerGui.ItemShopButton.Frame.ScrollingFrame.RainbowTrail
local gamepassID = 86294878
	local MS = game:GetService("MarketPlaceService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	if MS:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, gamepassID) then
		UI.Parent = player.PlayerGui
		UI.Enabled = false
	end
end)

StarterGui is what you see in studio, because GUI is client based, each client has their own UI located in the Player, PlayerGui

Hi!

You tried to get the UI from StarterGui that is not the player local ui.
Try to find the ui when the Player is Added.

And the Button needs to be inside a Screen Gui to the list will be:
ScreenGui > ItemShopButton etc… or ScreenGui > Frame > ItemShopButton etc…

Like this.

local gamepassId = 86294878
local MS = game:GetService("MarketPlaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
      local playerGui = player.PlayerGui
      local UI = playerGui:WaitForChild("<NameOfScreenGui>")
      if not UI then return end

      if MS:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, gamepassId) then
             UI.Enabled = true
      else
             UI.Enabled = false
      end
end)

The itemshopbutton is the screen gui

Also would the screengui be places inside of startergui?

i think the property to hide a ui is “Ui Instance”.visible

Yea need to be placed in startergui! But to get to it you need the playerGui of the player selected, because StarterGui is studio only.

Each player has their own invidual folder for Gui’s, called PlayerGui, located in the players instance.

StarterGui is just a service that will automatically clone everything that’s in it, to the playergui; the player who joined.

Changing something from the StarterGui through a script will only change this for anyone else who joins, but in order to change something; like a gui, directly from a player, etc, you will need to access the PlayerGui.

Put it inside of startergui, it’s gonna get cloned into playergui which will be inside of the player.
