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?
01 | local badge = game:GetService("BadgeService") |
02 | local badgeId = 18987678 |
03 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
04 | local tool = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild('BloxyCola') |
05 |
06 | if badge:UserHasBadge(player.userId, badgeId) then |
07 | local newtool = tool:Clone() |
08 | newtool.Parent = player.Backpack |
09 | else |
10 | print("Player doesn't have") |
11 | end |
This is the error
Workspace.Script:6: attempt to index local 'player' (a nil value)

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:
01 | -- Server script |
02 | -- Badge handler |
03 |
04 | -- Services |
05 | local Players = game:GetService'Players' |
06 | local BadgeServ = game:GetService'BadgeService' |
07 | local Storage = game:GetService'ServerStorage' |
08 |
09 | -- Configurable |
10 | local Tool = Storage:WaitForChild'BloxyCola' |
11 | local BadgeId = 18987678 |
12 |
13 | -- Main |
14 | Player.PlayerAdded:connect(function(NewPlayer) |
15 | if BadgeServ:UserHasBadge(NewPlayer.UserId, BadgeId) then |
16 | Tool:Clone().Parent = NewPlayer.StarterGear |
17 | end |
18 | end) |
Let me know if you have any questions.
