Players don't receive their gamepass without rejoining. How do i fix this?

As the title suggests, how do I make it so that the player receives their gamepass as soon as they buy it? Without the need to leave and rejoining again. Thanks.

Gamepass Script:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local gamePassID = 25805641  -- Change this to your game pass ID

local function onPlayerAdded(player)

	local hasPass = false

	-- Check if the player already owns the game pass
	local success, message = pcall(function()
		hasPass = MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, gamePassID)
	end)

	-- If there's an error, issue a warning and exit the function
	if not success then
		warn("Error while checking if player has pass: " .. tostring(message))
		return
	end

	if hasPass == true then
		print(player.Name .. " owns the game pass with ID " .. gamePassID)
		player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
			local head = char:FindFirstChild("Head")
			local particlesClone = game.ServerStorage.SquidHeads:Clone()
			particlesClone.Parent = head
			
		end)
		-- Assign this player the ability or bonus related to the game pass
		--
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

Button Script:

local gamepass_id = 25805641


script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(game.Players.LocalPlayer, gamepass_id)
end)

After processing the purchase, you could just run the check again

For game passes, I handle this by using PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished functions. So you can solve your problem with the following line:

MarketplaceService.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local gamePassID = 25805641  -- Change this to your game pass ID

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		local hasPass = false

		-- Check if the player already owns the game pass
		local success, message = pcall(function()
			hasPass = MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId, gamePassID)
		end)

		-- If there's an error, issue a warning and exit the function
		if not success then
			warn("Error while checking if player has pass: " .. tostring(message))
			return
		end

		if hasPass then
			print(Player.Name .. " owns the game pass with ID " .. gamePassID)
			local head = Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
			local particlesClone = game.ServerStorage.SquidHeads:Clone()
			particlesClone.Parent = head
		end
	end)
end)

Wrap everything inside a CharacterAdded event instead of a PlayerAdded event, that way the callback function will be executed each time the player’s character spawns/reloads as opposed to when the player first joins the server.

You may want to reload/respawn the player’s character upon a successful purchase of the gamepass from the local script.
