I’m working on a gamepass that gives you a gear when purchased, and I’m having trouble with issues from the script and technical bugs.
The first issue comes from the button. When it prompts the gamepass purchase, once it’s finished I get an error says “Pistol3 is not a valid member of game.replicatedfirst”. I also tried putting the tool in workspace and replicatedstorage. The script is a local script inside of a button in the starterGUI. Here’s the script:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local GamePassId = script.Parent.GamePassID.Value
local PurchaseButton = script.Parent
PurchaseButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId, GamePassId) then return end
MarketPlaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(Player, GamePassId)
MarketPlaceService.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(function()
local Gear = game.ReplicatedFirst.Pistol3
Gear.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
end)
end)
The 2nd script is supposed to give the player the certain gear when he joins the game. The second issue is that the player doesn’t get the gear when he joins the game. The script is a local script inside of StarterPlayerScripts. Here’s the script:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
local GamePassID = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("SideGUI").ShopsFrame.MenuFrame.TestGamepass.GamePassID.Value
local M = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
if M:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId, GamePassID) then
local Gear = game.ReplicatedFirst.Pistol3
Gear.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
end
end)
If someone can help me, or at least tell me what I was doing wrong, I’d appreciate that! Thanks!
Try put the pistol in ReplicatedStorage where both client and server can access it.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
local GamePassID = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("SideGUI").ShopsFrame.MenuFrame.TestGamepass.GamePassID.Value
local M = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
if M:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId, GamePassID) then
local Gear = game.ReplicatedStorage.Pistol3
Gear.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Backpack
end
end)
So instead off ReplicatedFirst Try replicatedStorage if that dosent work i dont know then.
Have you also tried cloning the tool instead of taking it using :Clone()?
Wait have you tried putting both the items in replicatedStorage?
Also make the second script a server script as local scripts will not replicate to the server
I believe PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished can be replicated & detected across both sides of the server/client, plus if you handle the cloning on a LocalScript the Tool itself won’t work well
I’d recommend putting your MarketplaceService Events on the Server-Side instead, and/or fire a RemoteEvent to detect it’s change
Also why are you putting a PlayerAdded event in StarterPlayerScripts…? It should belong as a ServerScript inside ServerScriptService
local Gear = game.ReplicatedFirst:WaitForChild("Pistol3")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local GamePassID = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("SideGUI").ShopsFrame.MenuFrame.TestGamepass.GamePassID.Value
local M = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
if M:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId, GamePassID) then
local Gear = game.ReplicatedStorage.Pistol3
Gear.Parent = Player.Backpack
else
M:PromptGamePassPurchase(Player, GamePassID)
M.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(function(PlayerID, GamepassID, WasPurchased)
if WasPurchased then
local Clone = Gear:Clone()
Clone.Parent = Player.Backpack
end
end)
end
end)
Alright.
So by looking at the 2 scripts you originally attached, it is obvious that they are both LocalScripts.
A LocalScript is a script that runs on the client.
With roblox, you have to deal with replication where basically, if something happens on the server, its visible to everyone, if it happens on the client, it is only visible to the person the script is running on. Serverscripts should be used for game logic such as damage, round system, etc. Localscripts should be used for things that are not neccessary to be done on the server such as visual effects, etc.
In short, what you have done now will not replicate and thats what I assume that you mean that your tools don’t work.
I have made a script that you should put in ServerScriptService in a Serverscript.
local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local playerGui = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local button = playerGui:WaitForChild("SideGUI").ShopsFrame.MenuFrame.TestGamepass
local gamePassId = button.GamePassID.Value
if MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(game.Players.LocalPlayer.UserId, gamePassId) then
local Gear = game.ReplicatedFirst.Pistol3:Clone()
Gear.Parent = plr.Backpack
end
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(plr.UserId, gamePassId) then return end
MarketPlaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(plr, gamePassId)
MarketPlaceService.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(function()
local Gear = game.ReplicatedFirst.Pistol3:Clone()
Gear.Parent = plr.Backpack
end)
end)
end)
Sorry for the late response!
I would taking this part out of the script:
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(plr.UserId, gamePassId) then return end
MarketPlaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(plr, gamePassId)
MarketPlaceService.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(function()
local Gear = game.ReplicatedFirst.Pistol3:Clone()
Gear.Parent = plr.Backpack
end)
end)
And putting it in a serverscript in the button
Also add this before the code:
local plr = script
while True do
if not plr:IsA(“Player”) then
plr = plr.Parent
else
break
end
end
There might be some errors since I typed it up on mobile
Also don’t forget to address marketplaceservice and the button itself
Oh alright, I did find it a bit strange that it cloned it to other players, Glad the issue is fixed now!
(btw is the site looking a bit weird to you too? or just me?
