What are you using in badge service? for the most part yes, however awarding a badge must be done of the server. Getting a Badges Info or UserHasBadgeAsync() works on the client

I have a LocalScript in a TextLabel … i’ll write a code that makes the textlabel appear when player earns the badge, . So, can BadgeService work in this LocalScript?

You can’t award a badge on the Client, but you can check if they own it. Again the roblox docs explain what you can and can’t do on the client in Badge Service So I recommend scrolls and finding what you will use, and see if its allowed to be called on a local script

I will most likely not understand everything in the documents smoothly. English is not my main language. I’m planning on reading it when I grow up a lil bit so that I have a better knowledge of English

edit: i have to go because it’s literally 1:39: AM for me. I got to close the computer.

looking for the words, " server-side Script" or “local script”, “must” etc. When reading as I find thats where that info lives for future reading adventures

: AwardBadge() Must be on the server

: GetBadgeInfoAsync() Both

: UserHasBadgeAsync () Seems like both, but does mention a Little warning when using on Client Seen here

Why not use a remote event? Much easier to deal with.

Make a RemoteEvent instance, parent it to ReplicatedStorage and have the two following scripts

--Server
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = repStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent") -- name will depend ofc

function action()
   --when something happens
   local player = --get the player
   remoteEvent:FireClient(player, "MESSAGE") -- first argument is the client recieving the remote fire
end

--client
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = repStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent") -- name will depend ofc

remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(MESSAGE) -- you can send as much data as you want but watch out from sending too many bytes for performance's sake
   print(MESSAGE)
end)
