Why does this not award the badge?

Asked by 9 years ago

Hi guys! Any ideas why this doesn't award the badge? There are no errors. Any help would be appreciated ;) Thanks!

local LeaderboardString = "Coins"
local RequiredValue = 1000
local BadgeID = 217045131

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
    local LeaderboardInstance = Player:WaitForChild(LeaderboardString)
wait(1)
    if LeaderboardInstance.Value >= RequiredValue then
        game:GetService("BadgeService"):AwardBadge(Player.userId, BadgeID)
    end
end)

I'm not sure of how you're organizing your game, but I believe you can't look for "Coins" as a direct child of Player, if you're using a leaderstat.

Thus, this should work:

local LeaderboardString = "Coins"
local RequiredValue = 1000
local BadgeID = 217045131

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
    local LeaderboardInstance = Player:WaitForChild('leaderstats'):WaitForChild(LeaderboardString) -- Wait for leaderstats first, then for the LeaderboardString
LeaderboardInstance.Changed:connect(function()
wait(1)
    if LeaderboardInstance.Value >= RequiredValue then
        game:GetService("BadgeService"):AwardBadge(Player.userId, BadgeID)
    end
end)
end)



Hope it helps! :) Comment if it doesn't work, and you're using a different scheme.
