Custom badge awarding script not working because.. "can't convert nil to number"? What?

[eljefeistheboss (Jefe_BreathesCode)]

Hello,
I am making a custom badge award ui, because roblox’s badge award UI doesn’t support custom badge descriptions.
However, when trying to do this, I keep running into the same exact issue. “Value of nil can not be converted into number.”

Here’s the kicker: I’m passing a number, and the badge itself awards, but the rest of the script seems to not work.

I’ve tried everything, but I can’t find a solution to this issue at all. This is either a weird roblox lua bug, or something else…

MODULE SCRIPT:

local module = {}

local bs = game:GetService("BadgeService")

local bag =  script.badgeAwardedGui

function module.AwardBadge(userid, badgeid)
	bs:AwardBadge(userid, badgeid)
	
	if typeof(userid) ~= "number" then
		warn("userids gotta be a numero pal")
	end
	if typeof(badgeid) ~= "number" then
		warn("badge gotta be a numero pal")
	end
	
	local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerByUserId(userid)
	local ui = bag:Clone()
	
	if plr then
		ui.Parent = plr.PlayerGui
	else
		warn("No Player.")
		ui:Destroy()
	end

	
	local yay, nay = pcall(function()
		local badgeInfo = bs:GetBadgeInfoAsync(badgeid)

		ui.BadgeName.Value = badgeInfo.Name
		ui.BadgeDesc.Value = badgeInfo.Description
		ui.BadgeImageID.Value = badgeInfo.IconImageID
	end)
	if nay then
		warn(nay)
		ui.BadgeName.Value = tostring(badgeid)
		ui.BadgeDesc.Value = nay
		ui.BadgeImageID.Value = "rbxassetid://2592670412"
	end
	
end

return module

SERVER SCRIPT:

local bs = require(game.Workspace:WaitForChild("ModuleScript"))

task.wait(5)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	bs.AwardBadge(v.UserId,  2123456789)
end

Which line is this occurring on?

You’re receiving this warning: “value of type nil cannot be converted to number”.

For the sake of simplicity, you can assume this type of warning is raised when you attempt to set anything but a number to an IntValue/NumberValue. In your case, you’ve attempted to set nil to the “Value” property. Through minor reasoning, you narrow down the problem to the properties of the resulting BadgeService:GetBadgeInfoAsync call:

Here, we can see that “IconImageID” is actually “IconImageId”. Make this correction in your script and it will work as intended

no line, it’s a warning sent by the pcall

Thank you so much for this. I would have never caught this. GPT was saying that the “badge id was too large for roblox to handle”

lowkey they should have this stuff listed in studio Aswell as the docs…
