How do I make this give the player an item?

So one of my scripters created a script so the player would get an item for owning a gamepass, he must have misunderstood me since I asked if the player could get an item for owning a badge. I tried tampering with it a bit and it still doesn't work, any help? Ty

01thingtoownid = 660386043 --thing to own
02item = "keyblade" -- item to clone from the replicated storages
03multipleitems = false -- if set to true then the format of the table below  MUST be [nameofgear = "id1", nameofgear =  "id2", ['adding a space'] = "id3"] for thing to own 
04multiple = {['Springtime Basket'] = "id", goldcoil = "id", ownerbasket = "id"} -- this was made for less clutter
05 
06 
07 
08repeat wait() until script.Parent.Parent.Backpack
09plr = script.Parent.Parent
10if multipleitems == false then
11 
12 
13items = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(item)
14if items and type(thingtoownid) == "number" then
15 
16    if not script.Parent.Parent.StarterGear:FindFirstChild(item) and game:GetService("BadgeService"):UserHasBadge(plr,thingtoownid) then
17    s=items:Clone()
18    s.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.StarterGear
19    sa=items:Clone()
20    sa.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Backpack
21    else
22        script:Remove()
23    end
24else
25    error('No such thing as "' .. item .. '" in replicated storage!')
26end
27else
28 
29    for i,v in pairs (multiple) do
30        items = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(tostring(i))
31    if items and type(v) == "number" then
32    if not script.Parent.Parent.StarterGear:FindFirstChild(tostring(i)) and game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PlayerOwnsAsset(plr,v) then
33    s=items:Clone()
34    s.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.StarterGear
35    sa=items:Clone()
36    sa.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.Backpack
37    else
38        script:Remove()
39    end
40 
41else
42    error('No such thing as "' .. tostring(i) .. '" in Replicated Storage! Or gamepass ID "'.. tostring(v) ..  '" is invalid for some reason.')
43    end

Just a note, I only edited the top half of the script since the bottom half is only used if the variable at the top is true. Skepticlemon 24 — 8y

What is output saying? Also where is the script located? Tempestatem 884 — 8y
