First time join badge script not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to make a badge that people get for joining my game for the first time.

  2. What is the issue?
    In game, on the developer console, it says “Failed to award badge”, the script has no errors and the badge is active

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I have tried different methods of awarding the badge and checking but it doesn’t work.

My code, in ServerSciptService, the code is from BadgeService | Roblox Creator Documentation so I don’t understand why it doesn’t work, I did create my own script initially but it didn’t work so I tried Roblox’s own script.

local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local BADGE_ID = 2129936701

local function awardBadge(player, badgeId)
	-- Fetch badge information
	local success, badgeInfo = pcall(function()
		return BadgeService:GetBadgeInfoAsync(badgeId)
	end)

	if success then
		-- Confirm that badge can be awarded
		if badgeInfo.IsEnabled then
			-- Award badge
			local awardSuccess, result = pcall(function()
				return BadgeService:AwardBadge(player.UserId, badgeId)
			end)

			if not awardSuccess then
				-- the AwardBadge function threw an error
				warn("Error while awarding badge:", result)
			elseif not result then
				-- the AwardBadge function did not award a badge
				warn("Failed to award badge.")
			end
		end
	else
		warn("Error while fetching badge info: " .. badgeInfo)
	end
end

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	awardBadge(player, BADGE_ID)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

Any suggestions on what to do?

Does the badge ID that you are attempting to award belong to a badge that you made yourself? You can’t award badges that don’t belong to the game you are trying to award it in.

Edit: You can create badges for free by going to the game settings in studio.

#21

The badge is linked to the game
