topbar+ gamepass needed to use

[craggy cloak]

What have you done so far

[dim quarry]

check if a player has a gamepass b4 executing the button script

ez

[thin orbit]

i lowk dont know what to do

im assuming something like require:gamepass(2391239123) or soemthing but ionknow topbar

[dim quarry]

:UserOwnsGamepassAsync(Player.UserId, GamepassId)

[brittle swallow]

** You are now Level 2! **

[thin orbit]

why are these two underlined

[dim quarry]

game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

[thin orbit]

player is still underlinewd

[mighty tree]

you must've not defined it then

[thin orbit]

what do i define it as

local player = game.player

[mighty tree]

is this a local script

@thin orbit ?

[thin orbit]

yes

for topbar+

local localPlayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

does this work

[mighty tree]

then

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

[thin orbit]

ok

[mighty tree]

with local

[thin orbit]

oh wait

[mighty tree]

btw you're supposed to say it like this:

game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):UserOwnsGamepassAsync(Player.UserId, GamepassId)

[thin orbit]

one big line

[mighty tree]

meh

[thin orbit]

lemme try

so this should let me use the topbar button if i own the gamepass?

[mighty tree]

how about you find out

[thin orbit]

ok lemme try it

it doesnt workingson

[mighty tree]

okay maybe tell us what you're tryna do and what's happening so I get the full picture

[thin orbit]

okay let me break it down for you

[dim quarry]

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-to-check-if-a-player-owns-a-gamepass/2716202

[thin orbit]

so i have a character selection

and i want you to need a gamepass for some characters

and the topbar is my character selectino rn

and i want some of the topbar buttons to only work with gamepass

[mighty tree]

I am more concerned about how the hell did this happen

[thin orbit]

yeah idk i checked output

[mighty tree]

maybe it's not loading in time? so maybe if you split it like this it'll work

local marketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
marketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId, GAMEPASS_ID)

BRO

YOU MADE A TYPO

you said :UserOwnsGamepassAsync(Player.UserId, GamepassId)

instead of

:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId, GamepassId)

[mighty tree]

so @thin orbit try this instead

[thin orbit]

ok i tried what you did

lemme sohw u soemthing

it still fires the event

either way if i own it or not

[mighty tree]

btw why are you using ContextActionService for this? why not just check if the guy clicked on a button

[thin orbit]

im not idk how to do that im jsut using topbar+

idk how to use both of those together so this is jsut easier for me

[olive kindle]

there's no cas anywhere in here, topbarplus is a custom module you can get it from google or from toolbox, pretty decent module

[thin orbit]

that what i thought

but ineed this button in my thing to only fire event if someone owns a gamepass pyro

[olive kindle]

i'd be more helpful but you've probably never read a docs page in your life and this has basically devolved into code begging and do-it-for-you which i don't want to be part of

[mighty tree]

oh I thought :bindEvent was used in cas tho

[olive kindle]

also it's a monetization feature and those come at a premium

i'm mostly just watching how ob3e do.

;p

[thin orbit]

😭

[brittle swallow]

** You are now Level 3! **

[mighty tree]

I am gonna be honest I've never seen :bindEvent used outside of cas

[thin orbit]

its like like like

i just tryna figure out this one thing here

ive never asked for any help on this before

[mighty tree]

I am not familiar with using events the way you do so I don't think I can really help

[thin orbit]

ok

maybe somone else could help me

[mighty tree]

yeah like @olive kindle

[thin orbit]

yeah like pyro-fire

im not a code begger i just have problem with topbar idk how to use it

fully

[olive kindle]

you've directly copy+pasted other peoples code and are now stuck on a missing if statement.

[thin orbit]

bro all it is is topbar+

[olive kindle]

try looking stuff up in the docs once in a while https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/MarketplaceService#UserOwnsGamePassAsync or making attempt to learn how to code https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/coding-fundamentals or y'know google, ai, etc, all decent options

[mighty tree]

bro dipped 💀

[olive kindle]

i dont like where-do-i-put-that kinds of "help" :/

[mighty tree]

I thought topbarPlus was dead ass a button in his game or something lol

[olive kindle]

they took the function call that checks, and failed to turn it into a condition. nothing to do with topbar+ at that point lol

[olive kindle]

yeah it's just a textbutton

[mighty tree]

so bro doesn't know how to use a module that does everything for him crazy

[olive kindle]

it has a few fancies to give it icons and position and styles and such, but textbutton.Activated is the same as bindEvent("selected",...)

[olive kindle]

ye bro doesn't know how to make a textbutton do an if statement

[mighty tree]

so he had to check if the button was clicked right

[olive kindle]

that's the bindevent

only needs to check the gamepass, using the function you gave

and put it in an if statement

like, that's it

lol

[mighty tree]

so basically if the userOwnsGamePass thing returned true

[olive kindle]

then fire event, yeah.

[mighty tree]

imagine bro looking back at this and jumping off his chair

[olive kindle]

probably still asking where do i put that?

[mighty tree]

another classic case of can't expect results if you don't put in the work

anyway we should probably leave this thread alone now

[olive kindle]

yeaa it's not the most productive thing, not always the most helpful, which is why i didn't want to say anything because i'm not going to be of help, but it does pain me to see people getting run through the ringer of "i just need help with this ONE thing!" and then waste hours on an if statement and spoonfeeding them code.

over a monetization feature no less - like cmon you setting up payments without offering any of that pay in exchange? that just doesn't sit right with me 🤷

also really, if you're getting stuck on an if statement, always makes me curious how they manage to get these games that could justify adding monetization in the first place

[mighty tree]

basically just making a game without knowing shit about how to make games

[olive kindle]

looks like a battlegrounds clone too, because of course it is

[mighty tree]

I ran into a similar thing today was telling the guy you need to use a for loop and then he said "what's that"

[olive kindle]

they got their hands on a leaked clone, or maybe bought it for $5, and now they want to add gamepass and compete with tsb when they can't handle an if statement

it really is an enigma

[olive kindle]

yeah, i've seen so many conversations devolve into whats that, how do i use it, where do i put that, rinse repeat

as a technique for actual development, idk man, some people get by on that. heck, that's probably how deadrails was made

well, to start with

[mighty tree]

like dude wasn't familiar WITH SHIT I had to painfully tell him exactly what to do but then ended up just modifying it myself in studio lol

[olive kindle]

yeah that's how it tends to go

[mighty tree]

I mean deadrails is fun that's all that matters in my opinion

[olive kindle]

give very basic instruction, still no clue, so you simply do it for them

seen that time and time again and every time it makes baby jesus cry 😢

[mighty tree]

I mean they probably didn't know how to get better the right way so they cheaped out

[olive kindle]

even worse is after giving them free working code is they say thanks for nothing, or not even thank at all, or "i did it!"

i seen all 3 many times

[mighty tree]

yeah they don't know the value of what they're getting because they haven't tried themselves

[olive kindle]

another fun one is "but it's only 2 lines!"

[mighty tree]

the two lines are probably 80 characters each lol

[olive kindle]

nevermind the hours, days, weeks you can spend tracking down exactly which line to change and what to change it to, "it's only one line!"

[olive kindle]

na, the worst i've seen is 2 closures one with a missing end, and another with an extra end. literally only one line needed to move. that took me like 2 weeks to fix coz the code somehow worked just fine except for some niche buggy behavior that didn't happen often, or happened randomly

[mighty tree]

I always try to figure out why something that I don't want to happen, happens. perhaps too much

[olive kindle]

point is around 70~80% of code work is reading code and docs and planning things out, not writing new lines or changing existing lines.

"it's only one line!"

[mighty tree]

yeah because you come back the next day and you're like what was that one bug I was fixing yesterday again?

[olive kindle]

yeah that takes a while too

[mighty tree]

I always document the bugs I run across

so that doesn't happen

on a trello board

[olive kindle]

i just use a todo list ;p

only works for solo dev tho

[mighty tree]

trello is fancier and has more functionality

but you do you

[olive kindle]

i suppose can't be too harsh though, gotta keep in mind fair number of people are gamers who are looking into game dev, and roblox makes it look super easy, barely an inconvenience

in reality it's very hard

[mighty tree]

yup
