I’m trying to create a gamepass shop with trails and I was wondering if you their is a way to create a script to equip and unequip a trail. I looked all over the forum and youtube and found nothing. If this is in the wrong topic please tell me.

Clone the trail when equipping it and destroy it when dequipping it.

I have barley any experience with scripting, can you explain with more detail? Or send a link.

Well, you’ll need to make a trail, and put it somewhere. I recommend usingServerStorage. Now you’ll also need a RemoteEvent to tell the server that you want to equip a trail. Then the server removes any current trail you have, and clones the one you want to equip to your character. This code should do just that.
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService");
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage");
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage");
local trailEvent = ReplicatedStorage.EquipTrail; --Make a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage called "EquipTrail"
local trailsFolder = ServerStorage.Trails; --Make a folder in ServerStorage called "Trails"
local gamePassId = 0000000; --Change this to what your gamepass Id is
function equipTrail(plr, trailName)
local character = plr.Character; --All players have a character assigned to them
local hrp = character.PrimaryPart; --This is the character's humanoid rootpart, which we will parent the trails to
local trail = trailsFolder:FindFirstChild(trailName); --Finds a trail with the given name
if trail and MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(plr.UserId, gamePassId) then --If the trail was found AND the player owns the gamepass
local currentTrail = hrp:FindFirstChild("Trail"); --Attempts to find a trail that is already equipped
if currentTrail then --If a trail was found, remove it
currentTrail:Destroy();
end
trail = trail:Clone();
trail.Name = "Trail"; --Names the trail so we can easily find it when dequipping it
trail.Parent = hrp; --Parents the trail
end
end
trailEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(equipTrail);
Obviously you’ll need a LocalScript to fire the event, but I wasn’t sure how you wanted to go about it. I can also help with that if necessary.

where do i place the script? In ServerScriptService? or something else
ServerScriptService would work.

Now you need a LocalScript to fire the event when you want to equip a trail, which I wasn’t sure which you wanted to do. You could use a gui button to do this.
I was thinking of using a gui button, can you teach me what to put in the LocalScripts. Thank you for helping i will give you credit.
To detect when a gui button is clicked, you’ll use the .MouseButton1Down event, and then fire the remote event.
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage");
local trailEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("EquipTrail");
local button = --Assign the button to wherever it is here
button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
trailEvent:FireServer(button.Name); --You should name the button what the name of the trail is
end)

what do i put in

SERVER//SCRIPT
You can place this in ServerScriptService.
--[[Credit: @JelliedBanana ]]--
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService");
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage");
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage");
local trailEvent = ReplicatedStorage.EquipTrail; --Make a RemoteEvent in ReplicatedStorage called "EquipTrail"
local trailsFolder = ServerStorage.Trails; --Make a folder in ServerStorage called "Trails"
local gamePassId = 0000000; --Change this to what your gamepass Id is
function equipTrail(plr, trailName)
local character = plr.Character; --All players have a character assigned to them
local hrp = character.PrimaryPart; --This is the character's humanoid rootpart, which we will parent the trails to
local trail = trailsFolder:FindFirstChild(trailName); --Finds a trail with the given name
if trail and MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(plr.UserId, gamePassId) then --If the trail was found AND the player owns the gamepass
local currentTrail = hrp:FindFirstChild("Trail"); --Attempts to find a trail that is already equipped
if currentTrail then --If a trail was found, remove it
currentTrail:Destroy();
end
trail = trail:Clone();
trail.Name = "Trail"; --Names the trail so we can easily find it when dequipping it
trail.Parent = hrp; --Parents the trail
end
end
trailEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(equipTrail);
CLIENT//LOCALSCRIPT
This should be in a LocalScript, for you I’d recommend placing it in the StarterGui.
You can either build a gui in the StarterGui, or via script.
--[[Written by @JelliedBanana // Edited by @Prince_Duke]]--
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage");
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local trailEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("EquipTrail");
local Trail_Name = "TRAIL NAME HERE" -- We have the name of your trail here, instead of the button's name
--[[ I recommend you build your GUI. If you do:
local screengui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("NAME OF SCREEN GUI HERE")
local button = screengui:WaitForChild("BUTTON NAME HERE")
]]
local screengui = Instance.new("ScreenGui", PlayerGui)
local button = Instance.new("TextButton", screengui) --Assign the button to wherever it is here
--button.Name = "NAME OF TRAIL HERE"
button.TextScaled = true
button.Text = "Trail"
button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
--trailEvent:FireServer(button.Name);
trailEvent:FireServer(Trail_Name);
end)
I am not a dedicated programmer so if you encounter any problems with this, please let me know and I will do my best to properly inform you!

Not at all sure if this will help since I made it a while back but I thought I might as well mention it, I have a trail inventory model that checks for gamepasses and equips trails, though the instructions are kinda confusing. Hope this helps!
do i put the local script inside the button or just startergui?
can you send the model? Also can you equip and unequip the trail?
