HTTP 400 Error with character creation

[R00lint252]

Hello, I am trying to randomly generate users, and put them on the map, but the problem is that sometimes I recieve the error:
Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId() failed because HTTP 400 (Bad Request) - Server - BotGeneration:17

	local botName
	local newId = math.random(100000000,7000000001)
	
	local success, err = pcall(function()
		botName = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(newId)
	end)
	if not success then
		newBot()
	end
	
	local bot = Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId(newId)

How would I fix this, this only happens around 25% of the time, and it’s on this line:

	local bot = Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId(newId)

@R00lint252

botName = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(newId)

I don’t think this line of code would work too if that line didn’t work.

You can certainly use pcall to detect when a function errors, and then subsequently retry the random user ID. For more information, check out this post:

Pcalls - When and how to use them

Intoduction Protected calls, formally known as pcalls, can run functions without erroring and provide if your code was successfully ran but what’s the best way to use them and when should I? In this tutorial I will be covering the entirety of pcalls and where you’ll need them, so lets begin! Pcall basics First and foremost, we should learn what pcall’s syntax really looks like: pcall(f : function, ...args : any) Basically, you pass your desired function in as argument 1 and any arguments y…
