How can I get this script to allow myself buy items from the catalog by typing in the ID?
Hello! I am Glassphyte, and I seem to be in some trouble and wish for help. I've watched a certain ROBLOX video and what happened in it peaked my interest. I see the user has made a small.. script which allows him to buy a catalog item from his game, by just entering the ID and pressing enter! I attempted to make something like that myself.. but it didn't succeed. I made the screengui somewhat like his, but added a textbox and textbutton. So instead of pressing enter, I press the 'Confirm' button, that's to the side of the textbox. Like I said though, I had no luck.
Can anyone try to help me out with this? Thank you.
Here is the link to his video.

Here is what I've made so far of the script.
01 | -- Script for In-Game Selling |
02 |
03 | local box = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("TextBox") |
04 | local button = script.Parent |
05 |
06 | local ItemID = ("TextBox") |
07 |
08 | script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(player) |
09 | Game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptPurchase(player, ItemID) |
10 | end) |

1.If FilteringEnabled is on, do NOT use a script, use a LocalScript.
2.The class "TextButton" does not have a "MouseClick" function, change it to "MouseButton1Click".
3. "local ItemID = ("TextBox")" is not a thing. Instead, use "local ItemID = box.Text"
4.ClickDetectors don't do anything when in a Gui, remove it.
5. Much More.
Here is my answer:
1 | local TextBox = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox --Finds the TextBox |
2 |
3 | local ItemID = TextBox.Text --Gets the string entered. |
4 |
5 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function(Player) --Make sure the script's parent is a TextButton |
6 | Game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptPurchase(Player, ItemID) |
7 | end) |

9 | -- Totally not made by Glassphyte. It is better. |
01 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | -- Lowercase 'g'ame |
03 | local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService") |
04 | local box = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("TextBox") |
05 | local button = script.Parent |
06 |
07 | -- ClickDetectors go in Parts, not GUI's. |
08 | button.MouseButton1Down:connect(function() |
09 | -- Match all numbers in your input, else default to 12345 |
10 | local txt = box.Text:match("%d+") or 12345 |
11 | MarketplaceService:PromptPurchase(player, txt) |
12 | end) |
