In-Game Currency, Developer Products. Please Help?

Asked 950 views1 answers

In my game, I have made a currency called "RoCash." This currency will be used to purchase things in the game.

The Value of "RoCash" is inserted into the player each time they enter the game. A Data Persistence script automatically saves the state of the value each time it has changed. (I am not using DataStore for a reason...)

Okay, I have a Shop GUI, and in the GUI, there's a button that is supposed to add 5 RoCash to the player's RoCash value each time it's purchased...

The Product works just fine. However, adding the RoCash does not. As you can see below, I want the player to receive 5 RoCash. When the product is purchased, it gives the player 20 RoCash... Why? How can I fix this?

Server-Side

local Player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent

local MarketplaceService = Game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
 
MarketplaceService.ProcessReceipt = function(receiptInfo)
	
	Player.RoCash.Value = Player.RoCash.Value +5
	wait()
	Player.PlayerGui.Purchases.RoCash.Visible = true
	wait(5)
	Player.PlayerGui.Purchases.RoCash.Visible = false
	
	return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.PurchaseGranted		
end

Client-Side

local buyButton = script.Parent
local productId = 19192652
local Player = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent

Type = 0

if Player.Name == "Bolohuc" then Type = 2 else Type = 0 end

buyButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	Game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptProductPurchase(game.Players.LocalPlayer, productId, false,  Type)
end)

PLEASE ANSWER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

NOTE: I don't want you to change the script unless it's causing the problem... It works fine other than the adding RoCash. Please help me... Provide details with your answer please.

The ProcessReceipt was called 4 times probably because you tried to buy the developer product before. It should fix itself. I had the exact same problem with Roblox Tower. (EDIT) How did I not notice this! You're trying to get the player using script.Parent.Parent... You need to actually check for the player using the reciptInfo variable. I got this script from the ROBLOX Wiki. EXAMPLE:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local HealthID, GoldID = 11111, 22222
local PurchaseHistory = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("PurchaseHistory")
 
MarketplaceService.ProcessReceipt = function(receiptInfo) 
    local playerProductKey = receiptInfo.PlayerId .. ":" .. receiptInfo.PurchaseId
    -- find the player based on the PlayerId in receiptInfo
    for i, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
        if player.userId == receiptInfo.PlayerId then -- this is how you get the player.
            -- check which product was purchased (required, otherwise you'll award the wrong items if you're using more than one developer product)
            if receiptInfo.ProductId == HealthID then -- Check developer Product.
                -- handle purchase. In this case we are healing the player.
                player.Character.Humanoid.Health = 100
            elseif receiptInfo.ProductId == GoldID then
                -- handle purchase. In this instance we're giving the player 100 extra gold. 
                player.leaderstats.Gold.Value = player.leaderstats.Gold.Value + 100
            end
        end	
    end
    -- record the transaction in a Data Store
    PurchaseHistory:SetAsync(playerProductKey, true)	
    -- tell ROBLOX that we have successfully handled the transaction (required)
    return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.PurchaseGranted		
end

If I helped vote me up and set this as the answer.

I don't understand... It doesn't work when I purchase the product in the game... How can I fix it?
