Attempt to Index Nil with PlayerGui

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Basically I’m trying to make this module where it gives you a custom badge notification, not just a regular badge notification. For some reason, it just says “Attempt to Index Nil With PlayerGui”. Can someone help me out here?

local custom = {}
local gui = script:FindFirstChild("CustomBadgeNotificationUI")
local badgeservice = game:GetService("BadgeService")



function custom:CreateBadgeNotification(badgeid)
	
	local success, result = pcall(function()
		return badgeservice:GetBadgeInfoAsync(badgeid)
	end)
	
	if success then
		local cloneui = gui:Clone()
		cloneui.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
		local frame = cloneui:FindFirstChild("MainFrame")
		local image = frame:FindFirstChild("BadgeIcon")
		local title = frame:FindFirstChild("BadgeName")
		local description = frame:FindFirstChild("BadgeDescription")

		image.Image = "rbxassetid://"..result.IconImageId
		title.Text = "You won "..result.Name.."!"
		description.Text = result.Description
	end
end


return custom

Maybe use LocalScript instead of Script?

3

but this is a modulescript, so im expecting that this should work

4

also another thing is this script keeps saying " SetCore: BadgesNotificationsActive has not been registered by the CoreScripts - Client - BadgeNotifDisable:1"

script: game:GetService(“StarterGui”):SetCore(“BadgesNotificationsActive” ,false)

That detail changes nothing, only executable context (etc client or server) does

--!strict
--!optimize 2
local gui = script.CustomBadgeNotificationUI
local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local GetBadgeInfoAsync = BadgeService.GetBadgeInfoAsync
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer::Player
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")::PlayerGui

return function(badgeid:number):()
	local success, result = pcall(GetBadgeInfoAsync,BadgeService,badgeid)
	if not success then return end

	local cloneui = gui:Clone()
	local frame = cloneui.MainFrame
	local image = frame.BadgeIcon
	local title = frame.BadgeName
	local description = frame.BadgeDescription

	image.Image = "rbxassetid://"..result.IconImageId
	title.Text = "You won "..result.Name.."!"
	description.Text = result.Description
	cloneui.Parent = PlayerGui
end

Where are you calling the module script (i.e. using require on it)? Is that a normal script or a local script? Module scripts basically inherit if they are on the client or server from the script which calls them

im not using require on it. I made the module my self.

By using a remotevent, your still able to get the same thing. so i just used a remotevent anyways.

??

The code within module scripts only runs if it gets required (require()).
Require can take a path rather than a number (e.g. require(script.Parent.MODULE))

i just started coding so i kinda dont know what ur saying tbh i was trying to use a modulescript for simpler ways, but using a remoteevent is the same thing, if i would have to use the function in the module, i would have to do function(player, badgeid) not function(badgeid)

Ok sorry for the confusion about this. It seems like using a serverscript which I used won’t work with it I’m pretty sure.

Yeah - the module script was running from the server, so there would be no LocalPlayer for you to access, causing the issue.
