Can badge service only be used in a server script? How would i make it so it can be called from a local script?

You can only award badges through server scripts.

You can use remotes/module scripts for that.

[But lets say you wanted to award player a badge for pressing a textbutton, all you have to do is fire a remote inside the mousebutton1click event, and on the server, award him].

Well what would be using this for? When a player touches a part, or clicks a button?

4

what if it was touched event?

i would be doing it for a touched event. Sorry i did not specify that.

Sure you can, if it’s a local script, just use a remote.
[On the server make sure to use pcalls to check if the player doesnt have the badge already]

See this for more info:

I don’t see a remote event being used in the part section of the post…

Here is some code:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part)
 if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
 local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
 game:GetService("BadgeService"):AwardBadge(player.UserId, -- your badge ID )
 end
end)

If you need more explaining, here is the tutorial

Make sure to use pcalls to validate if the player doesnt own the badge already, there’s always a chance of failing.

would it be like:

game.Workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
    game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connnect(function(Player)
        --Badge stuff
    end)
end)

Pcalls included in badge stuff

Yes. But make sure to check if the object that touched the brick is a player. And make sure to check by using pcalls if the player already has the badge.

game.Workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
    --Check it was a player
    --Use pcalls to check if he owns the badge or not
    --ONLY if he doesnt, then fire this
    game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connnect(function(Player)
       --And here you can simply award him[since we checked up]
    end)
end)

the get service perameter will be in

13

You’ll use game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
After you checked if the object has a humanoid.

And with that, you’ll be able to use your pcalls and provide the player’s ID by getting his ID from his name or straight from players/

14

but the badge service call will be in

right?

15 
local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local BadgeId = 0000000
--These 2 will help you later on in the pcalls
local userHasBadge = BadgeService.UserHasBadgeAsync
local awardBadge = BadgeService.AwardBadge


game.Workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
    --Check it was a player
    --Use pcalls to check if he owns the badge or not
    --ONLY if he doesnt, then fire this
    game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connnect(function(Player)
       --And here you can simply award him[since we checked up]
    end)
end)

oh okay. Thanks. Learned quite a lot :slight_smile:

17

[I linked above a compilation where you can use the way he used pcalls there]

18

No problems :slight_smile: Glad I could help.

If something goes wrong, feel free to say here to dm.

19

Could an IF statement work? If so, I already have the code for it, and it works just fine.

Not enough, when working with such services, [checking for group ranks too], you should use pcalls to make sure that even when it fails, dont let it get down.
