We need some new service that will let scripts allow a user to purchase something in-game with user confirmation. Example: the script tells the server that it is about to charge the user 50 ROBUX for an item named "VIP Upgrade" The game will then have a Gui pop up asking if the user wishes to purchase it. I would recommend having a check box labeled "Prevent this game from asking to purchase any other products" so that nobody can spam the user of requests. :) If the user clicks on the accept button, the user will be charged of the amount agreed and the server will notify the script letting it know that the user purchased the item. Support or not?

Yes :) I think the script function should return a boolean whether they bought it. Also, if they block, it should return false immediatly, right?

Could be a BC feature-I'd think ROBLOX would make it one. The money goes straight to the owner, with a fee of course, so probably a BC only feature.

Could be abusible. If this happened smart scripters might be able to make a system for infinite money like the KO script only with money.

I'm not sure. They can limit purchases per user in a certain game. They can make sure that the user hasn't bought the upgrade already. They can make some sort of page so that users can make upgrades with 'serials' for the scripts to apply to the user for verification that they haven't taken the item yet and that they wish to.

I'm glad. :) It's a needed feature. Would work well with DP. Perfect for games with leaderboards.

Uh, read this: Make it a gui, any of the other stuff you cant script post it in scripting helpers.

@noah It's impossible to script a way to purchase an item on the users side. Making a GUI say the shirt link, maybe, but it'd fail.

I give this thread 10 more minutes before someone suggests it's BC only. -~{ArmyGuy543}~- ಠ_ಠ ~Sons, I am disappoint.~

Army, it would have to be. ROBLOX has it to where you can't get item purchases without BC. This is the same case.

*Is a BC scammer* *Makes an ingame pop-up appear* *Makes an (probably) invisible GUI pop up. It fills the entire screen* *Person click the GIANT yes button* MONEYZ.

I agree, but the game has no way of finding if you have enough for it.
