I need help on a script. I tried searching Google and DevForum, but I can’t find anything on the exact topic. I have a leaderboard for the people that are in the top 100 for amount of candy. I want to give them a badge for being on that leaderboard. I can’t find anything for that, I can only find help for giving someone a badge when they have a certain amount on their leaderstats. Is anyone able to help?

I believe this documentation may help:
You will need the players’ userID’s.

I don’t see anything that can help? This is what I have right now. I need help with the “IsOnLeaderboard” part.
local IsOnLeaderboard = --What do I put here?
local BadgeID = 0
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if IsOnLeaderboard == true then
local b = game:GetService("BadgeService")
b:AwardBadge(plr.userId, BadgeID)
end

Is the leaderboard an orderedDatastore? How do you place the players on the leaderboard? Can you send the script?

Hello there,
I am not a programmer but what I think is that:
Get service “Is user on database” if true then
badge service award ID
end
As we want to check if the user is in said database, we would need an API to check that information inside Roblox, and then get the badge service for that.

Yes, it is an orderedDatastore. Here is the entire script.
local sg = script.Parent
local sample = script:WaitForChild("Sample") --Our Sample frame
local sf = sg:WaitForChild("ScrollingFrame") --The scrolling frame
local ui = sf:WaitForChild("UI") --The UI list layout
local dataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local dataStore = dataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("candyDataStore")
wait(10)
while true do
for i,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do--Loop through players
if plr.UserId>0 then--Prevent errors
local w = plr.leaderstats.Candy.Value--Get point balance
if w then
pcall(function()
--Wrap in a pcall so if Roblox is down, it won't error and break.
dataStore:UpdateAsync(plr.UserId,function(oldVal)
--Set new value
return tonumber(w)
end)
end)
end
end
end
local smallestFirst = false--false = 2 before 1, true = 1 before 2
local numberToShow = 100--Any number between 1-100, how many will be shown
local minValue = 1--Any numbers lower than this will be excluded
local maxValue = 999999999999--9B, any numbers higher than this will be excluded
local pages = dataStore:GetSortedAsync(smallestFirst, numberToShow, minValue, maxValue)
--Get data
local top = pages:GetCurrentPage()--Get the first page
local data = {}--Store new data
for a,b in ipairs(top) do--Loop through data
local userid = b.key--User id
local points = b.value--Points
local username = "[Failed To Load]"--If it fails, we let them know
local s,e = pcall(function()
username = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(userid)--Get username
end)
if not s then--Something went wrong
warn("Error getting name for "..userid..". Error: "..e)
end
local image = game.Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userid, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size150x150)
--Make a image of them
table.insert(data,{username,points,image})--Put new data in new table
end
ui.Parent = script
sf:ClearAllChildren()--Remove old frames
ui.Parent = sf
for number,d in pairs(data) do--Loop through our new data
local name = d[1]
local val = d[2]
local image = d[3]
local color = Color3.new(1,1,1)--Default color
if number == 1 then
color = Color3.new(1,1,0)--1st place color
elseif number == 2 then
color = Color3.new(0.9,0.9,0.9)--2nd place color
elseif number == 3 then
color = Color3.fromRGB(166, 112, 0)--3rd place color
end
local new = sample:Clone()--Make a clone of the sample frame
new.Name = name--Set name for better recognition and debugging
new.LayoutOrder = number--UIListLayout uses this to sort in the correct order
new.Image.Image = image--Set the image
new.Image.Place.Text = number--Set the place
new.Image.Place.TextColor3 = color--Set the place color (Gold = 1st)
new.PName.Text = name--Set the username
new.Value.Text = val--Set the amount of points
new.Value.TextColor3 = color--Set the place color (Gold = 1st)
new.PName.TextColor3 = color--Set the place color (Gold = 1st)
new.Parent = sf--Parent to scrolling frame
end
wait()
sf.CanvasSize = UDim2.new(0,0,0,ui.AbsoluteContentSize.Y)
--Give enough room for the frames to sit in
wait(120)
end
local IsOnLeaderboard = --What do I put here?
local BadgeID = 2146785557
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if IsOnLeaderboard == true then
local b = game:GetService("BadgeService")
b:AwardBadge(plr.userId, BadgeID)
else
print("Not on leaderboard!")

To award the top one hundred players, you can replace the code in the following documentation with lines of code awarding the top 100 players rather than printing them:
Change the pageSize to 100.

pageSize? (nvm about this, I hadn’t looked at the documentation yet and didn’t know what pageSize was) Also, I want to award the players as well as show on the leaderboard, not only award them. (I don’t know if this is what you meant by “printing them”)

nevermind, i just went through the documentation entirely, sorry for the confusion. also, thanks!

Here is a code example:
local function awardTopHundredPlayers()
local isAscending = false
local pageSize = 100
local pages = dataStore:GetSortedAsync(isAscending, pageSize) -- retrieves leaderboard players
local topHundred = pages:GetCurrentPage() -- gets top hundred
-- award all players on the top hundred the associated badge
for rank, data in ipairs(topHundred ) do
local userId = data.key
game:GetService("BadgeService"):AwardBadge(plr.userId, BadgeID)
end
end
