BadgeService
The BadgeService class provides information and functionality related to badges. Badges are used across the platform to recognize a player's achievements and activity. Upon awarding a badge to a player, it is added to their inventory and displayed on their profile page.
Code Samples
The following example creates an awardBadge() function that handles potential errors that may occur when awarding a badge. Using properties of the badge fetched via BadgeService:GetBadgeInfoAsync(), it confirms that the badge can be awarded and does so using BadgeService:AwardBadge().
local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local BADGE_ID = 0
local function awardBadge(player, badgeId)
-- Fetch badge information
local success, badgeInfo = pcall(function()
return BadgeService:GetBadgeInfoAsync(badgeId)
end)
if success then
-- Confirm that badge can be awarded
if badgeInfo.IsEnabled then
-- Award badge
local awardSuccess, result = pcall(function()
return BadgeService:AwardBadge(player.UserId, badgeId)
end)
if not awardSuccess then
-- the AwardBadge function threw an error
warn("Error while awarding badge:", result)
elseif not result then
-- the AwardBadge function did not award a badge
warn("Failed to award badge.")
end
end
else
warn("Error while fetching badge info: " .. badgeInfo)
end
end
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
awardBadge(player, BADGE_ID)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
The following script waits for any player to enter the game and checks if they own a specific badge. This is useful for creating a restricted area with collision filtering or teleportation that only works if a player owns a special badge.
local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local badgeId = 00000000 -- Change this to your badge ID
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
-- Check if the player has the badge
local success, hasBadge = pcall(function()
return BadgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(player.UserId, badgeId)
end)
-- If there's an error, issue a warning and exit the function
if not success then
warn("Error while checking if player has badge!")
return
end
if hasBadge then
-- Handle player's badge ownership as needed
print(player.Name, "has badge", badgeId)
end
end
-- Connect "PlayerAdded" events to the "onPlayerAdded()" function
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
This script checks which badges a user owns when they join the experience.
local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local badgeIds = { 0000000000, 1111111111, 2222222222 } -- Change this to a list of your badge IDs
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
-- Check if the player has any of the badges
local success, result = pcall(function()
return BadgeService:CheckUserBadgesAsync(player.UserId, badgeIds)
end)
-- If there's an error, issue a warning and exit the function
if not success then
warn("Error while checking if player", player.Name, "has badges:", result)
return
end
local ownedBadgeIds = result
if #ownedBadgeIds == 0 then
print(player.Name, "does not have any of the badges")
else
print(player.Name, "has the following badges:", table.concat(ownedBadgeIds, ", "))
end
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
This sample prints badge information fetched via BadgeService:GetBadgeInfoAsync().
local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
-- Fetch badge information
local success, result = pcall(function()
return BadgeService:GetBadgeInfoAsync(00000000) -- Change this to desired badge ID
end)
-- Output the information
if success then
print("Badge:", result.Name)
print("Enabled:", result.IsEnabled)
print("Description:", result.Description)
print("Icon:", "rbxassetid://" .. result.IconImageId)
else
warn("Error while fetching badge info:", result)
end
