I figured out a way to make a limited stock work with badges, however this happens

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So I made this stock thingy where depending on how many people have the badge, the stock will go down, higher = down, lower = up. Then, after the check wait is ended, it gives these two errors:

  argument #1 expects a string, but table was passed  -  Server - Script:11
  Stack Begin  -  Studio
  Script 'ServerScriptService.Script', Line 11  -  Studio - Script:11
  Stack End  -  Studio
  ServerScriptService.Script:12: attempt to index nil with 'awardedCount'  -  Server - Script:12
  Stack Begin  -  Studio
  Script 'ServerScriptService.Script', Line 12  -  Studio - Script:12
  Stack End  -  Studio

After those errors appear, it doesn’t show the badge count again and the while true do just stops completely. Is there a solution to this?

My script:

local badgeservice = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local text = workspace.Part.BillboardGui.TextLabel
local maxstock = 3000000
local check = 25
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local data = http:GetAsync("https://badges.roproxy.com/v1/badges/1597063654359516")


while true do
	if data then
		data = http:JSONDecode(data)
		local stock : number = data.statistics.awardedCount
		local actualstock = maxstock - stock
		text.Text = "STOCK: "..actualstock.."/"..maxstock
		if data.statistics.awardedCount == maxstock then
			text.Text = "Stock Ended!"
		end
	end
	task.wait(check)
end

does this fix your issue?

(you can remove the tostring my bad for leaving that in >_<)

The errors are gone, but the badge count isn’t updating, its just staying the same badge count.

4

you have to call the data = http:GetAsync(arg) after if data then … end (here)

do you need me to send an example aswell or is that explained clearly enough?

it still doesn’t work, heres my script with everything that you had, is there something wrong?

local badgeservice = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local text = workspace.Part.BillboardGui.TextLabel
local maxstock = 3000000
local check = 1
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local data = http:GetAsync("https://badges.roproxy.com/v1/badges/1597063654359516")

while true do
	if data then
		if typeof(data) == "string" then
			data = http:JSONDecode(data)
		end
		local stock : number = data.statistics.awardedCount
		local actualstock = maxstock - stock
		text.Text = "STOCK: "..actualstock.."/"..maxstock
		if data.statistics.awardedCount == maxstock then
			text.Text = "Stock Ended!"
		end
	end
	data = http:GetAsync("https://badges.roproxy.com/v1/badges/1597063654359516")
	task.wait(check)
end

while true do
	if data then
		if typeof(data) == "string" then
			data = http:JSONDecode(tostring(data))
		end

		local stock : number = data.statistics.awardedCount
		local actualstock = maxstock - stock
		text.Text = "STOCK: "..actualstock.."/"..maxstock
		if data.statistics.awardedCount >= maxstock then
			text.Text = "Stock Ended!"
		end
	end
	data = http:GetAsync("https://badges.roproxy.com/v1/badges/1597063654359516")
	task.wait(check)
end

here is mine which worked for me

The variable needs to be inside the while true do, not outside. Thanks for your help! I just had to play around with the script in order to achieve this updating thing.

local badgeservice = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local text = workspace.Part.BillboardGui.TextLabel
local maxstock = 3000000
local check = 1
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")

while true do
	local data = http:GetAsync("https://badges.roproxy.com/v1/badges/1597063654359516")
	if data then
		if typeof(data) == "string" then
			data = http:JSONDecode(tostring(data))
		end

		local stock : number = data.statistics.awardedCount
		local actualstock = maxstock - stock
		text.Text = "STOCK: "..actualstock.."/"..maxstock
		if data.statistics.awardedCount >= maxstock then
			text.Text = "Stock Ended!"
		end
	end
	data = http:GetAsync("https://badges.roproxy.com/v1/badges/1597063654359516")
	task.wait(check)
end
