Item not giving when user owns badge?
I wanted the player to get an item when owning a badge, but it doesn't seem to work?
local badge = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local badgeId = 18987678
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local tool = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild('BloxyCola')
if badge:UserHasBadge(player.userId, badgeId) then
local newtool = tool:Clone()
newtool.Parent = player.Backpack
else
print("Player doesn't have")
end
This is the error
Workspace.Script:6: attempt to index local 'player' (a nil value)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
if badge:UserHasBadge(player.UserId, badgeId) then
tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
end
end)
end)

The other answers are wrong. It doesn't matter whether you use "UserId" or "userId". The problem is in the error message "player (a nil value)"
The only time that error would happen is if you're trying to use "LocalPlayer" in a server script. That will only work in a local script.
However, you can only use the UserHasBadge function in a server script. So, let's change things up a bit:
-- Server script
-- Badge handler
-- Services
local Players = game:GetService'Players'
local BadgeServ = game:GetService'BadgeService'
local Storage = game:GetService'ServerStorage'
-- Configurable
local Tool = Storage:WaitForChild'BloxyCola'
local BadgeId = 18987678
-- Main
Player.PlayerAdded:connect(function(NewPlayer)
if BadgeServ:UserHasBadge(NewPlayer.UserId, BadgeId) then
Tool:Clone().Parent = NewPlayer.StarterGear
end
end)
Let me know if you have any questions.
