MarketplaceService Bug

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello Fellow Developers! I am currently in need of support. I am trying to add an “Infinite Lives” Gamepass to one of my games. The problem? Well it doesn’t seem to be working. I am not getting any errors in the output. I have tried many things although none have worked. Before adding the MarketplaceService, it worked fine. Here is my script:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local diedEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.DiedEvent
local reviveEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.reviveEvent

local passid = 58747879

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	if MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, passid) == true then
		local function loadDiedFunction(player)
			player.Character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
				wait(1)
				diedEvent:FireClient(player)
			end)
		end

		game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
			player:LoadCharacter()
			loadDiedFunction(player)
		end)

		reviveEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
			player:LoadCharacter()
			loadDiedFunction(player)
		end)
	end
end

(This script is not mine)
I appreciate all of the help!

Do you own the gamepass? I believe that might be causing the problem.

#3

I do own the gamepass. I have also tried the script with “passid” set to 0

#4

Did you connect onPlayerAdded to the Players.PlayerAdded event?

#5

When I try that it says “Attempt to index nil with ‘UserId’”

#6

That’s because you put the connection inside of the function… the function IS the connection.

#7

I did that. The problem was that I had an extra set of parentheses in it. This might work.

#8

The script still doesn’t seem to work. No errors in the output either.

#9

No, it won’t. You need to remove the 2nd connection here:

Just remove all of that and I believe this won’t work anyways. I think you need to redo this part.

#10

I haven’t been scripting for too long so I am not sure how to replace it.

#11

I have tried replacing that first line with “local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer”

#12

I believe it is CharacterAdded and not PlayerAdded

#13

That doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas on what else I could try?

#14

Well, I think the script works fine. It’s just the events are a little messed up.

#15

Yeah, that’s because I didn’t make it (Like said in original post)

#16

I just realized that in the output it says “CharacterAdded is not a valid member of Players”

#17

It’s a member of the player that’s added, not the service.

#18

Oh, so like “game.Players.PlayerAdded.CharacterAdded”?
Edit: nvm doesn’t work

#19

The correct way to check for the player’s character is:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
end)

Also, are you running the onPlayerAdded function somewhere? If you defined it, doesn’t mean it actually runs the function

#20

I fixed that earlier. Here is the current version of my script (With the changes you suggested)

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local diedEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.DiedEvent
local reviveEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.reviveEvent

local passid = 58747879

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	if MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, passid) == true then
		local function loadDiedFunction(player)
			player.Character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
				wait(1)
				diedEvent:FireClient(player)
			end)
		end

		game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
			local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
			player:LoadCharacter()
			loadDiedFunction(player)
		end)

		reviveEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
			player:LoadCharacter()
			loadDiedFunction(player)
		end)
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

It still doesn’t work
