So I wanted to prompt the player with a purchase right when they join the game but I got this weird error message that is in the title so how do I fix this problem?

Script 
local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

local gamepassID = --whatever my gamepass ID is

local function promptPurchase()
	
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local hasPass = false
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		hasPass = MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, gamepassID)
	end)
		
	if hasPass then
		print("player has the pass, can't prompt")
	else
		MarketPlaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(player, gamepassID)
	end
end

wait(3)
promptPurchase()

No, it’s name is MarketplaceService. Don’t make posts about what you don’t know.

No it won’t work because that’s literally the service’s name.

Where the error says, try:
PromptGamePassPurchase(player.UserId, gamepassID)

Maybe?

No, it needs the player Instance not it’s userid. And please, stop making random posts.

If I do that it will give me an error saying:

Attempt to index nil with ‘UserId’

I don’t even know why it’s nil…

I have included the script in the description but it’s just hidden click on the “Script” text to open it…

Are you sure you are using a Local Script? player will be nil if it is in a normal Script.
