How can I get a button to detect if the player has a game pass?
Hello, I am making a tycoon, and I am currently trying to get a game pass working. The game pass, if the player has it should allow the player to step on a button and get a 10% chance to have a VIP block spawn on the droppers every time the droppers spawn a part, My issue, is that my script isn't working properly.
script:
local gamePassId = 445136135
local passService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
function vip(player)
if passService:PlayerOwnsAsset(player, gamePassId) then
print(player.Name .. " has the game pass!")
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.VIP.Value = "true"
else
print(player.Name .. " doesn't have the game pass...")
end
end
vipbutton = script.Parent.Head
vipbutton.Touched:connect(vip)
This script was provided as an answer to one of my previous questions. If I step on it in the "Studio Run" phase, I get an error on line "5": error:
01:13:38.925 - MarketplaceService:PlayerOwnsAsset() player should be of type Player, but is of type Part
The only idea I could get from this is to make the button used to call this script only accept player interaction, I'm not sure what this would fix but just a hunch. I wouldn't know how to do this though. I tried the other method for getting a game pass detected, but when I stepped on the button I got an error saying invalid player. I figured it was because I was running it in the studio, but when I tried it on a ROBLOX SERVER, the button faded as it's supposed to, but the VIP.Value was not set to "true".
So how could I get the button to properly detect that the player has a game pass and to change the VIP.Value to set equal to "true" so that the ability will be enabled on my map when ever a dropper checks for it?
Any insight would be appreciated, I'm at a dead end with my noobish abilities.
Thanks in advance!
In case you needed to see: scripts associated. Clicker Dropper script:
wait(2)
workspace:WaitForChild("PartStorage")
deb = true
script.Parent.Clicker.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(wat)
local vipblock = math.random(1,10)
local luckyblock = math.random(1,100)
if luckyblock == 1 and deb == true then
deb = false
local part = game.ReplicatedStorage.luckyhyperbit:Clone()
part.Parent = game.Workspace
print("luckyblock")
part.Name = "luckyhyperbit"
local cash = Instance.new("IntValue",part)
cash.Name = "Cash"
cash.Value = 15 -- How much the drops are worth
part.CFrame = script.Parent.Drop.CFrame - Vector3.new(0,1.3,0)
part.FormFactor = "Custom"
part.Size=Vector3.new(1.5, 1.5, 1.5) -- Size of the drops
part.TopSurface = "Smooth"
part.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
game.Debris:AddItem(part,20) -- How long until the drops expire
wait(.15)
deb = true
elseif luckyblock ~= 1 then
if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.VIP.Value == "true" and deb == true and vipblock == 1 then
deb = false
local part = game.ReplicatedStorage.viphyperbit:Clone()
part.Parent = game.Workspace
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
print("vipblock")
part.Name = "viphyperbit"
local cash = Instance.new("IntValue",part)
cash.Name = "Cash"
cash.Value = 10 -- How much the drops are worth
part.CFrame = script.Parent.Drop.CFrame - Vector3.new(0,1.3,0)
part.FormFactor = "Custom"
part.Size=Vector3.new(1, 1, 1) -- Size of the drops
part.TopSurface = "Smooth"
part.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
game.Debris:AddItem(part,9) -- How long until the drops expire
wait(.15)
deb = true
else
deb = false
local part = Instance.new("Part",workspace.PartStorage)
part.BrickColor=script.Parent.Parent.Parent.DropColor.Value
part.Material=script.Parent.Parent.Parent.MaterialValue.Value
local cash = Instance.new("IntValue",part)
cash.Name = "Cash"
cash.Value = 1 -- How much the drops are worth
part.CFrame = script.Parent.Drop.CFrame - Vector3.new(0,1.3,0)
part.FormFactor = "Custom"
part.Size=Vector3.new(1, 1, 1) -- Size of the drops
part.TopSurface = "Smooth"
part.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
game.Debris:AddItem(part,20) -- How long until the drops expire
wait(.15)
deb = true
end
end
end)
player join script, using other game pass detection method.
local gamePassId = 445136135
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
if game:GetService("GamePassService"):PlayerHasPass(player, gamePassId) then
print(player.Name .. " has the game pass!")
else
print(player.Name .. " doesn't have the game pass...")
end
end)
I don't know what else would need to be seen.

In the first script, when the player touch the vipbutton, the script will detect only the part of the player, like an arm or a leg.
vipbutton.Touched:connect(part)
This line will detect a part of the Player's character. The part should be called "part".
function vip(PlayerPart)
When the function is called by the :connect then, the part (that we named "part") will be called PlayerPart in the function.
But this is not the Player. So we must find it with the function :GetPlayerFromCharacter()
Add the following line in your script:
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(PlayerPart.Parent)
Why PlayerPart.Parent? Because every part of the player's character is in a model.
local gamePassId = 445136135
local passService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
function vip(PlayerPart)
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(PlayerPart.Parent)
if passService:PlayerOwnsAsset(Player, gamePassId) then
print(Player.Name .. " has the game pass!")
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.VIP.Value = "true"
else
print(Player.Name .. " doesn't have the game pass...")
end
end
vipbutton = script.Parent.Head
vipbutton.Touched:connect(part)
