Why won't BadgeService:AwardBadge() work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Ok, so, I’ve been making a game, and for some reason, One singular badge will not award.

I a currently waiting for a player to click a textbutton on a LocalScript, and then running a server event on a RemoteEvent.

Here are my scripts:

  1. Local:
function Roller()
	for _, Chance in pairs(Items) do
		Weight += (Chance * 10)
	end

	local ranNumber = math.random(1, Weight)

	Weight = 0 
	for Prize, Chance in pairs(Items) do
		Weight += (Chance * 10)

		if Weight >= ranNumber then
			if hideprint == false then
				print(Prize.." was won")
			end
			local Clone = script.Rolling:Clone()
			Clone.Parent = script.Parent
			Clone.Text = "Rolling..."
			wait(2)
			Clone.Text = "You got: "..tostring(Prize)
			wait(1)
			Clone:Destroy()
			
			WordsSF:WaitForChild(Prize).TextColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Badge:FireServer(6433767682) -- The RemoteEvent
		
			break
		end
	end
end

It’s a simple chance system, but when you roll for the first time, it is met to give a badge.

Next, there is a script in ServerScriptService:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Badge.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Plr, Id)
	print("Badge")
	game:GetService("BadgeService"):AwardBadge(Plr.UserId, Id)
end)

I am certain that the remote event is working, seeing as in the output I get:

Badge

But nothing else there are no errors… and no badge.

BadgeService.AwardBadge does not throw any warning/error for invalid BadgeId (or badges that cannot be awarded in specific contexts)

You cannot award badges in Roblox studio I think. Moreover, you own the badge since you created it, so you won’t (read : CANT) be awarded the badge

– This shows I Don’t own it, if I did, then I would own all the other ones I made and they wouldn’t work either

Also, I know you can’t award in Studio, I am testing the game in normal Roblox.

These are the requirements I found on the docs, check if one of them is false

  • The player must be presently connected to the game.

  • The player must not already have the badge (note that a player may delete an awarded badge from their profile and be awarded the badge again).

  • The badge must be awarded from a server-side Script or aModuleScript eventually required by a Script, not from a LocalScript.

  • The badge must be awarded in a place that is part of the game associated with the badge.

  • The badge must be enabled; check this using the IsEnabledproperty of the badge fetched through BadgeService:GetBadgeInfoAsync().

Hmm then I’m at a loss
Wrap that thing in a pcall to find out the error, because if you did everything right then idk

function Thing (Plr, Id)
	print("Badge")
	game:GetService("BadgeService"):AwardBadge(Plr.UserId, Id)
end


game.ReplicatedStorage.Badge.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Plr, Id)
	pcall(Thing(Plr, Id))
end)

maybe try defining badge service before awarding the badge like this
local bs = game:GetService(“BadgeService”)
bs:AwardBadge(plr.UserId, Id)

Have you checked if there are any typos in your scripts? Do the badge ID’s match? Is the badge properly set up in the game? Have you made another player/friend test if it works for them?
Also, here’s an example of how your Script should look like.
Script, ServerScriptService

local badgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local badgeId = 6433767682 --Unsure whether this is the badge ID or not, probably best to check

game.ReplicatedStorage.Badge.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, badgeId)
    if badgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(player.UserId, badgeId) then
        warn(player.Name .. " already has the badge.") --I added warnings and print statements so that if another problem arises, we can check through print statements, just to save time you know.
    else
        local success, err = pcall(function()
            badgeService:AwardBadge(player.UserId, badgeId)
        end)
        if success then
            print("Badge successfully awarded to " .. player.Name)
        else
            warn("Failed to award badge: " .. err)
        end
    end
end)

@MysteryX2076 - I know, I’m just confused why the player would’t exist if they are calling the remote event

#13

@yesssssssss90900 - This post is very unhelpful
I already know the problem, the player cannot be found, so what you said is useless.

#14

Tried already

Could u show the code where you fire the remote event?

#16

._. I have already:

function Roller()
	for _, Chance in pairs(Items) do
		Weight += (Chance * 10)
	end

	local ranNumber = math.random(1, Weight)

	Weight = 0 
	for Prize, Chance in pairs(Items) do
		Weight += (Chance * 10)

		if Weight >= ranNumber then
			if hideprint == false then
				print(Prize.." was won")
			end
			local Clone = script.Rolling:Clone()
			Clone.Parent = script.Parent
			Clone.Text = "Rolling..."
			wait(2)
			Clone.Text = "You got: "..tostring(Prize)
			wait(1)
			Clone:Destroy()
			
			WordsSF:WaitForChild(Prize).TextColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Badge:FireServer(6433767682) -- The RemoteEvent
		
			break
		end
	end
end
#17

Could u wrap it in an pcall like this?


local awardSuccess, result = pcall(function()
				return BadgeService:AwardBadge(player.UserId, badgeId)
			end)
#18

Also print result

Y put the pcall up wrong, u need to actually get an error result.
