why is promptpurchase prompting everyone in game? [SOLVED]

Asked by

10 years ago

i am using promptproduct purchase for developer products i'm selling and promptpurchase for me gamepasses. i'm getting complaints from players about being prompted to purchase my game passes, but i don't have any auto-prompts running, only clickdetectors to prompt whoever clicks it. i've been selling developer products for awhile and haven't had complaints about being prompted, but i just added gamepasses to be purchased ingame and now i'm getting the complaints about being prompted to buy a pass, so i assume it's only doing this when a player clicks to purchase a gamepass, and not a developer product. the only difference between the two one uses promptproductpurchase and the other uses promptpurchase. i have the prompt script in a serverscript located inside player gui. this is what i'm doing, what dshould i do differently?

1buyButton.MouseClick:connect(function(player)
2    game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptPurchase(player, productId)
3end)

EDIT

here's the test place with a copy of the scripts.

I've moved the prompt script to a local script inside of playergui

here's my code

with this above, in a local script it is prompting everyone not just the player who clicks. and it shows the description gui to all players

but if i move it to a serverscript it only prompts the player who clicked. but it opens the description gui on all players.

There's absolutely no reason for this at all, if the given code is the only code that controls the prompting. Do you have skype? Perhaps I can help you better from there. Goulstem 8144 — 10y
