Gamepass script not granting tools, even though I own it?

Hey guys. So, I'm not at all new to gamepasses, but for whatever reason it may be, the game claims I do not own the gamepass I created myself (and the page says I own it aswell!)

I made a print to show me if I have it or not, and when playing the game, it prints the "doesnt own", even though, very clearly, I do own it.

Is this a scripting error?

01id = mypassidwenthere
02game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
03    repeat wait() until plr.Character
04    if game:GetService("GamePassService"):PlayerHasPass(plr, id) then
05        local tool = script:FindFirstChild("Spear")
06            tool:Clone().Parent = plr.Backpack
07            tool:Clone().Parent = plr.StarterGear
08        print("Given")
09    else
10        print("doesnt own")
11    end
12end)

"mypaddidwentthere" is not a valid pass ID. Also https://twitter.com/RbxDevTips/status/430195544628006912 LostPast 253 — 6y

That wasn't the actual ID haha! My bad, I didn't explain that properly. That was for privacy purposes. I'll check the link out, thanks User#20989 0 — 6y

Odd, even when publishing and testing it in the player client it still claims I do not own the pass. User#20989 0 — 6y

Doesn't work if PlayerHasPass is called in LocalScript or in Studio User#17685 0 — 6y

PlayerHasPass is deprecated; use UserOwnsGamepassAsync instead. My buddy vissequ made a script for this purpose and he's welcome to share it with anyone.

01local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
02local Players = game:GetService("Players")
03 
04local gamePassID = --YourGamePassIdHere 
05 
06function onPlayerSpawned(player) 
07 
08    local hasPass = false
09 
10    -- Check if the player already owns the game pass
11    local success, message = pcall(function()
12        hasPass = MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.userId, gamePassID)
13        print("Has Game Pass")
14    end)
15 
16    -- If there's an error, issue a warning and exit the function
17    if not success then
18        warn("Error while checking if player has pass: " .. tostring(message))
19        return
20    end
21 
22    if hasPass == true then
23    -- Your Code Here
24    end
25end
26 
27game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
28  player.CharacterAdded:connect(function()
29    onPlayerSpawned(player)
30  end)
31end)

(This Script is confirmed working, so If it still doesn't work, it's on you.) P.S. I highly recommend you don't put your tools inside your script, because that's what you're refrencing in your script, and you put them in ReplicatedStorage. Also, This script won't run if it isn't in Workspace or ServerScriptService, as a Server Script.

Turns out UserOwnsGamepassAsync does the trick! Thanks, and I'll be sure to move my tools out of my script. User#20989 0 — 6y
