It would be cool if you made an auto list of an badge thing. I gave an api which should help out
it’s pretty simple to do. I could make a tutorial if anyone wants.

You can change this:
[1] = {
["name"] = "Badge1", -- change to the name of the frame that holds the badge's ui
["displayName"] = "SBS welcome badge", -- change to the name of the badge
['id'] = 174605507 -- change to badge id
}
To something like this:
[174605507] = {
["name"] = "Badge1", -- change to the name of the frame that holds the badge's ui
["displayName"] = "SBS welcome badge", -- change to the name of the badge
}
[1], formerly a never-used value, is changed to [BADGE ID].
It’s probably just for preference, but this way you don’t have a useless index value. (Probably saves a negligible amount of memory too depending on where you store this)
this sounds interesting.
But how would you access the badge id like this?

for i,v in pairs(badges) do
print('badge ID: ' .. i)
print('badge name: ' .. v.name
end

This is something I’ve actually been looking for so this helped a lot! If you were to add more information such as the badge description and the badge icon, how would you go about doing that?
['displayDescription'] = "Whatever my badge description says"
local badgeDescription = data.displayDescription
Would I need to do something like that? (Sorry I’m a new scripter so I am still trying to learn and grasp concepts.)
It’s really simple to do.
Yes you would do something like this.
Sorry I’m quite new to scripting, but when I test the badge list tutorial.rblx, it displays the Badge Ownership as if I owned it, but I don’t, and I noticed that it changes it after exactly 100 heartbeats

hmm I’ll look into it, thanks for the report.
thanks, i’ve gone ahead and fixed the placefile + fixed the tutorial code.
I’d recommend anyone who’s used this to update their code in order to fix these bugs. Thanks @RoombaRobot.

Would this work for a game with more than 50+ badges. Since im calling with UserHasBadgeAsync, and sometimes it doesnt return any sort of value. (Pcalls)
The badge frame would have to be offset size and the scrollingframe’s Y canvas size would have to be huge. @TheH0meLands you might wanna say this in the tutorial since this is a common confusion.

Great tutorial, however I saw a post about having large amounts of badges and though I haven’t tested it yet, it might be more efficient to do something like this:
local badgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local badgesHolder = script.parent.Badges
--Frame of badges
local function GetInfoName(badgeid)
local asset = game:GetService("BadgeService"):GetBadgeInfoAsync(badgeid)
return asset.Name
end
local function GetInfoDescription(badgeid)
local asset = game:GetService("BadgeService"):GetBadgeInfoAsync(badgeid)
return asset.Description
end
local function GetInfoImage(badgeid)
local asset = game:GetService("BadgeService"):GetBadgeInfoAsync(badgeid)
return asset.IconImageId
end
local badges = {
[1] = {
["icon"] = "i", -- change to the name of the frame that holds the badge's ui
["displayName"] = "i", -- change to the name of the badge
["description"] = "i",
["id"] = 2580515292,
},
[2] = {
["icon"] = "i", -- change to the name of the frame that holds the badge's ui
["displayName"] = "i", -- change to the name of the badge
["description"] = "i",-- change to badge id
["id"] = 2125905166,
},
}
for _, data in ipairs(badges) do
local badgeId = data.id
data.displayName = GetInfoName(badgeId)
data.description = GetInfoDescription(badgeId)
data.icon = GetInfoImage(badgeId)
local frameInstance = badgesHolder.Sample:Clone() --Cloning a object inside the frame will be more efficient for players who have lots of badges
frameInstance.Icon.Image = ("rbxassetid://"..data.icon)
frameInstance:WaitForChild("Name").Text = data.displayName --using frameinstance.Name would return a error as it would reference the actual name of the instance instead of the child
frameInstance.Description.Text = data.description
local success, ownsBadge = pcall(function()
return badgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(player.UserId, badgeId)
end)
if success and ownsBadge then
--Do stuff if they own it, I have a lock icon thats set to be invisible
frameInstance.Icon.Lock.Visible = false
else
--Do stuff if they don't own it, I have a lock icon thats set to be visible
frameInstance.Icon.Lock.Visible = true
end
end
If anyone wants to use this then they should add some pcall functions around the BadgeService calls.
This is the setup I used which might be used in the code example I posted. It uses a list layout to automatically place everything inside the scrollingframe.
It justs makes the process of adding badges a bit easier and uses the badge service which is helpful for new developers to get introduced to.
Edit: I updated fixed some errors I has while testing this morning and now I have an image attached of how it looks below:
Since my badges are dark themed ill set the lock to be cyan with a black outline however anyone using this should update it accordingly.

You’d need to change the UI style and colors so that it fits your game is what I meant

Sorry for the bump but does anyone think I should make a remastered version of this? Frankly the script fails when given lots of badges. And after working on a find the badge game around the summer, I think it would be better for me to create an updated tutorial which is more efficient and faster through datastores.
- yes, remaster
- no, don’t remaster
