Why does my badge awarder script spam the output with "TooManyRequests"?

Asked 491 views1 answers

I'm making a tag game, and I have a script that should award a badge if you tag a developer, and kill you if you're tagged. It uses tools. But, after this new update with a badge, it spams the output/dev console with "TooManyRequests". Please help!

local Humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

function award(plr)
	if not game.BadgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(plr.UserId, 2124571974) then
		game.BadgeService:AwardBadge(plr.UserId, 2124571974)
	end
end

script.Parent.Torso.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	local currentplayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent)
	if player then 
		if hit.Parent.Name == "Tool" then
			Humanoid:TakeDamage(1000000)
		end
		if player.UserId == 111255307 then
			award(currentplayer)
		elseif player.UserId == 424716966 then
			award(currentplayer)
		elseif player.UserId == 109352342 then
			award(currentplayer)
		end
	end
end)
while true do
	wait(0.1)
	Humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.None
end

the Touched event may fire multiple times in a very short amount of time so if all the requirements are met (the right userId) etc the award function will then try and award the badge a bunch of times in a very short amount of time, hence why your probably getting this error.

Well I can’t review the code too much as I’m on my phone, but this is most likely because the script is running multiple times every time the Player moves on the brick, to fix this, use a debounce which only runs the code once each designated amount of time.


local Humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Debounce = false

function award(plr)
    if not game.BadgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(plr.UserId, 2124571974) then
        game.BadgeService:AwardBadge(plr.UserId, 2124571974)
    end
end

script.Parent.Torso.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if debounce = false then
    debounce = true
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    local currentplayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent)
    if player then 
        if hit.Parent.Name == "Tool" then
            Humanoid:TakeDamage(1000000)
        end
        if player.UserId == 111255307 then
            award(currentplayer)
        elseif player.UserId == 424716966 then
            award(currentplayer)
        elseif player.UserId == 109352342 then
            award(currentplayer)
        end
    end
wait(3)
debounce = false
end)
while true do
    wait(0.1)
    Humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.None
end
