Tool not working in RS

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I have a tool (Pizza) and when I put it in ServerStorage it works but when I put it in ReplicatedStorage it does not work,

Here is the script that gives me tool:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ownsGamepass = game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId,81487018) 

if ownsGamepass then
	local sword = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("Pizza"):Clone() 
	sword.Parent = player.Backpack
end

That’s when it is in RS

Here is when it is in SS:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ownsGamepass = game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId,81487018) ------ Your Gamepass ID here

if ownsGamepass then
	local sword = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("Pizza"):Clone() -------- Change "ClassicSword" to your tool's name
	sword.Parent = player.Backpack
end

But in RS it doesn’t work,
Anyone know what is the problem?
Thanks

You cant access ServerStorage on LocalScripts (Client)

Script [ ServerScriptService ]

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

local Tool = ServerStorage.Pizza -- Tool location
local Gamepass = 81487018 -- Gamepass id

local function CheckIfUserHasGamePass(UserId : number, GamepassId : number) : boolean
	local UserHasGamepass = false

	local Works, HasGamepass = pcall(function()
		return MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(UserId, GamepassId)
	end)

	if Works and HasGamepass == true then
		UserHasGamepass = true
	elseif not Works then
		local Attempts = 0

		repeat task.wait(1)
			Works, HasGamepass = pcall(function()
				return MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(UserId, GamepassId)
			end)

			Attempts += 1
		until Works or Attempts >= 5

		if Works and HasGamepass == true then
			UserHasGamepass = true
		end
	end

	return UserHasGamepass
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	if CheckIfUserHasGamePass(Player.UserId, Gamepass) or game["Run Service"]:IsStudio() then
		local ClonedTool = Tool:Clone()
		local ClonedTool2 = Tool:Clone()

		ClonedTool.Parent = Player.Backpack
		ClonedTool2.Parent = Player.StarterGear
	end
end)

That’s odd, it should be working the opposite way around since the client cannot see ServerStorage (like said above)

However, for gamepasses you should be making the script on the server:

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

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	if MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId,81487018) then
		ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Pizza"):Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
		ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Pizza"):Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear -- Makes it so that the player receives the gear every time they respawn
	end
end)

Should declare an upvalue (non-local variable) for ‘Pizza’ at the top of the script.

local Pizza = ServerStorage.Pizza --No need to yield if this is a server script (and the instance exists prior to runtime).
