Badge not awarding?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have added some new badges in my game (which older players may be qualified to earn) so i have this script set up:

for i,v in pairs(checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
			if tonumber(v.Name) > data then return end -- plr doesnt own
			
			local badgeid = v:FindFirstChild("BadgeId")
			
			if badgeid and badgeid.Value then
				local badgeserv = game:GetService("BadgeService")

				if not badgeserv:UserHasBadgeAsync(player.UserId, badgeid.Value) then
					
					local data, err = pcall(function()
						badgeserv:AwardBadge(player.UserId, badgeid.Value)
					end)
					
					if err then warn("badge awarding error: " .. err) end
					
					print("awarded badge to " .. player.Name .. " because they didnt have it beforehand")
				end
			end
		end

I’ve tested it, the badge numbers are correct (printed it), it prints that the badge was awarded (so its actually running), I tried it in actual roblox and it did not work. (its running on PlayerAdded)

Thanks.

Do you by chance already own the badge? You could try deleting the badge from your inventory to see if you can earn it again. I don’t see any errors with your code.

No, I didn’t own the badge, but I just tested it out again and now it works, even though I didn’t publish anything, could it have been a roblox issue?

Please mark this post as solved.

The issue is still occurring, only randomly does it actually award.

try printing every check point it loops through, maybe it started looping through all the checkpoints before all of them loaded in.

BadgeService has a limit, even tho its quite high (50 + 35 * [number of users] per minute).
Try to add a task.wait(1) between each award.

Make sure the badges are configured correctly in the Roblox developer portal. The badges must be active, and your game must have permission to award them. Double-check the badge ID and permissions.

Badge IDs should be numbers (integers). Double-check that badgeid.Value is a valid number and not mistakenly a string or nil.

I have only around 2 badges, earlier I also made it print out the badge id, and that matches, the server already has someone in it, and the script is server-sided too. The badge sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t, but always shows a result in output from the print at the end, so its not getting stopped anywhere.

Might try a bit later to put it in a different server script, just to see, could it be possible that the badge is being awarded too early for the client?
