local id = 5010007
    local Script = game.ServerScriptService.GamePassDoubleJump
    local LScript = game.ServerScriptService.GamePassDoubleJump.DoubleJump
    local scriptclone = LScript:clone()
        game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
            if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, id) then
                scriptclone.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts
          end  
    end)

im confused, it only works in studio.

Error: ServerScriptService.GamePassDoubleJump:7:attempt to index field 'LocalPlayer" (a nil value)

you can only use LocalPlayer in a localscript, not a server script. Replace 'game.Players.LocalPlayer' with 'player' since the PlayerAdded event already passes a 'player' arguement. hellmatic 1523 — 6y

The top ancestor (excluding the `DataModel` and the `Players` service) of a `LocalScript` is, well, the `LocalPlayer`. `Script`s run on the server, whilst `LocalScript`s run on the client.

Why LocalPlayer is nil on the server

Think of it as your school classroom. Your desk is your desk, just like how your `LocalScript` is your `LocalScript`, it works for you. But your classroom is your classroom, and in it are your classmates as well as your teacher. Think of the classroom as the server. It has everyone in it, and cannot keep track of who in the heck `LocalPlayer` is! For this reason, `LocalPlayer` is nil on the server. Code cannot your mind. This is why it must be all typed out. So instead of doing this:

make a part inside of the workspace with color red

You must do this:

local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
part.Parent = workspace

Sorry for the LocalPlayer tutorial, had to do it, it is too common to use LocalPlayer on the server. User#19524 175 — 6y
