Is there a term for when you get a badge

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So whe BBC you get a badge a core GUI shows up. It only shows whether you get it not have it. Is there a term for this? I would appreciate an example of its use.

#2

There is no way for you to tell when a badge is awarded. You would have to create that type of function yourself. There is an event for this, but it is locked to core scripts.

#3

Does it have to be an event? Try UserHasBadgeAsync.

#4

That would be if they have it. Not when they get it.

#5

The term would just be “Badge Awarded”. There is no current event to see if it was awarded or not.

You could just use this:

local Badge = 000000 -- BadgeId!
local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService") -- Get the badge service!

-- Example:
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) -- Get when a player joins.
    BadgeService:AwardBadge(Player.UserId, Badge) -- Award the badge.
end)

game:GetService("LogService").MessageOut:Connect(function(message, Type)
    if Type == Enum.MessageType.MessageWarning then
        local msg = message:match("") -- Put the scripts name here!
        
        if msg then -- Check if there's a warning.
             print("Error occurred while awarding badge, try again later.") -- Print there's an error, because the user already had the badge.
        else
            print("Successfully rewarded badge!") -- Otherwise, the badge got awarded successfully!
        end
    end
end)

This is untested, but should work just fine for you! Let me know any questions regarding this topic!
