How would I make this check every 5 seconds?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve? I would like for this script to refresh every second

  2. **What is the issue?**the issue is if I get a badge the leaderboard doesn’t refresh and just stays as its previous score which leads me into rejoining

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I tried doing an “if true do” and stuff like that but didn’t work

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	wait(0.5)
	local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
	local badgeIds = {2124871551,2124871927,2124871927,2124874652,2124875134,2124875135,2124875283,2124883537,2124883540,2124883811,2124883814,2124883850,2124883955,2124883958,2124902920,2124902921,2124902922,2124885305,2124904543,2124903302,2124903285,2124904556,2124903961,2124903965,2124903963,2124906387,2124907283,2124907055,2124907311} --Put badge ids here
	for _, id in next, badgeIds do
		if BadgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(plr.UserId, id) then  -- checks if user has badge
			plr.leaderstats.Exorics.Value = plr.leaderstats.Exorics.Value +1 -- if so then adds 1
			
		end
	end
end)

(note: the wait(0.5) is so that it works because the leader stats load after the script works so

#2 
while wait(5) do

end
#3 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
while true do
  wait(5)
	wait(0.5)
	local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
	local badgeIds = {2124871551,2124871927,2124871927,2124874652,2124875134,2124875135,2124875283,2124883537,2124883540,2124883811,2124883814,2124883850,2124883955,2124883958,2124902920,2124902921,2124902922,2124885305,2124904543,2124903302,2124903285,2124904556,2124903961,2124903965,2124903963,2124906387,2124907283,2124907055,2124907311} --Put badge ids here
	for _, id in next, badgeIds do
		if BadgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(plr.UserId, id) then  -- checks if user has badge
			plr.leaderstats.Exorics.Value = plr.leaderstats.Exorics.Value +1 -- if so then adds 1
			
		end
	end
end
end)

You can just do while wait(5) do, you don’t need to add a wait into a while true

#5

basically no difference, both of them work as intended

#6

it duplicated them for some reason?

#7

and after it does that it just wont work again

#8

could you send the whole script?

#9 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	while true do
	wait(5)
		wait(0.5)
		local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
		local badgeIds = {2124871551,2124871927,2124871927,2124874652,2124875134,2124875135,2124875283,2124883537,2124883540,2124883811,2124883814,2124883850,2124883955,2124883958,2124902920,2124902921,2124902922,2124885305,2124904543,2124903302,2124903285,2124904556,2124903961,2124903965,2124903963,2124906387,2124907283,2124907055,2124907311} --Put badge ids here
		for _, id in next, badgeIds do
			if BadgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(plr.UserId, id) then  -- checks if user has badge
				plr.leaderstats.Exorics.Value = plr.leaderstats.Exorics.Value +1 -- if so then adds 1

			end
		end
	end
end)
#10

has it done this before the while loop?

#11

No, as i remember I’m pretty sure it didn’t work at all and broke the script

#12 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
while true do
  wait(5)
	wait(0.5)
	local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
	local badgeIds = {2124871551,2124871927,2124871927,2124874652,2124875134,2124875135,2124875283,2124883537,2124883540,2124883811,2124883814,2124883850,2124883955,2124883958,2124902920,2124902921,2124902922,2124885305,2124904543,2124903302,2124903285,2124904556,2124903961,2124903965,2124903963,2124906387,2124907283,2124907055,2124907311} --Put badge ids here
	for _, id in next, badgeIds do
		if BadgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(plr.UserId, id) then  -- checks if user has badge
            print("check")
			plr.leaderstats.Exorics.Value += 1 -- if so then adds 1
			
		end
	end
end
end)

Try pasting that in and show me the output

#13

i need to see the output to see how many times it printed check to see where the problem is at

#15

how many badges are there? it duplicates the badge points?

#16

there are 29 badges put there and i own 17 and yes i think they are duplicating becasue it doesnt already check if they already own it and if its already in their leader stats

#17

can you explain what you want the script to do?

#18

I want the script to be able to show a badge counter of the badges but refresh every second so you don’t need to rejoin to see the current badges you own

#19

it wouldnt work because the loop is infinite, so you’d have to add some changes

#20

How would I add those changes?
