roblox not giving player option to purchase gear when touching brick?

Asked 358 views1 answers

Hello, I have made a brick, when a player touches that brick they should be given a option to buy a golden magic carpet. Instead of it saying "would you like to purchase" it just gives a error message when you touch the brick, the code is in a normal script inside the brick. Thanks!

local id = 1016183873

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local player = game.Players[hit.Parent.Name]
		game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptProductPurchase(player, id)
	end
end)

Well, make sure to check your id. I tested your code in Studio, and it worked fine. But, instead of prompting 'Golden Magical Carpet', it showed Billie Eilish clothing.

checked the id multiple times and it still seems to promote that

Then, try making a new developer product, and replacing the id with the new one.

From the video, it look likes you are selling items, made by another user. To fix that,

  1. Go to Game Settings in Studio.
  2. Go to Security.
  3. Enabled 'Third-Party' Sales.

Lemme know if it helps!

EDIT : You stated that you are encountering an error, related that your player is not found. To fix that, replace your player variable with :

-- Line 5
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

Also, in Line 6, use PromptPurchase instead of PromptProductPurchase for gears.

It has a error. There is another error in output that says, " 13:13:20.564 - TGATheGoldenArmour's_7723 is not a valid member of Players "Players" " I have not added any store or gamepasses though.

To deal with the error, use GetPlayerFromCharacter. local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
