Trigger the MarketplaceService when Part is Touched?

Asked 274 views1 answers

(Sorry for bad English)

I have create a Part and, inside the Part, i have insert this script:

local productId = 662920300
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

function Shop(hit)
game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptProductPurchase(player, productId)
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(Shop)

But i have this error in the Output ->

MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase() player should be of type Player, but is of type nil

How i can fix this problem? (When people touch the Part, the PromptProductPurchase is triggered)

And after this... i need to remove this part after the purchase is complete from the world (or just transfer the Part in the ReplicatedStorage)

Localscript's only run when they're a descendant of a Player (including their character) and in ReplicatedFirst. Not in a part in workspace

Your script is a server script, and that means you can't use game.Players.LocalPlayer. That trick only works in LocalScripts. To find a player in the server script you need to use GetPlayerFromCharacter. I also made some more adjustments for You, because I am in good mood.

local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local promptedPlayers = {} --remember players who have been prompted
local productId = 662920300


function Shop(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then --only prompt players
		player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		if not promptedPlayers[player] then
			promptedPlayers[player] = true
			MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase(player, productId)
		end
	end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(Shop)

Have a nice scripting session.

Thanks! But the "window" with the Purchase appear only the first time. Why?

I thought that is what you wanted? Instead of removing the part, other players may want to use it?

People can open this shop always, but when only one purchase this item, the part desappear
