I'm trying to use the MarketPlaceService for developer products, and this is happening?

Asked 369 views2 answers

When I attempt to run the code for prompting a developer product purchase I end up getting this in the output:

07:57:29.741 - MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase() player should be of type Player, but is of type nil
07:57:29.743 - Stack Begin
07:57:29.744 - Script 'Workspace.Gifts.Display.SurfaceGui.Script1', Line 9
07:57:29.745 - Stack End

I have no idea how to fix this and I have tried several things. Here's the code I'm trying to use as well:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
 
local productID = 965613937

local function promptPurchase()
	local player = Players.LocalPlayer
	MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase(player, productID)
end

script.Parent.Small.MouseButton1Click:Connect(promptPurchase)

Correction: I removed a comment in the code, so that error is meant to point to line 8.

Is this normal script, if yes then change it into Local one. Because the error said "player" should be Player instance but it nil.

Or you can use PlayerAdded event to get the Player instance. And the comment above is wrong by the way :b https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/event/Players/PlayerAdded

EDIT: I just realize your script work, but it need some change:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local productID = 965613937

local function promptPurchase()
	local player = Players.LocalPlayer
	MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase(player, productID)
end

game.Workspace.Gifts.Display.SurfaceGui.Small.MouseButton1Click:Connect(promptPurchase)

Change the script to LocalScript and put it in StarterPlayerScripts.

I already made a script... Why not you just try this:

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(promptPurchase)
	local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
	local Players = game:GetService("Players")
	local productID = 965836984
    local player = Players.LocalPlayer
    MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase(player, productID)
end)

It works fine for me, tell me if it works

If this is a normal script, use a local script instead, when your done please tell me if it worked!

Uh he can't. Because the script is in workspace.

The script is inside a part, and using a LocalScript doesn't do anything; I don't even get an error in Output.
