1
00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:05,730
In this lecture, we're going to be using the badge service to award a badge to our player.

2
00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:07,110
When they win the game.

3
00:00:07,110 --> 00:00:11,550
This badge will be made permanently available within the account of the player who earns it.

4
00:00:11,550 --> 00:00:18,030
So the plan is to award every player that is alive on the map when the final wave is beaten, and give

5
00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:19,530
them a badge.

6
00:00:20,590 --> 00:00:26,470
In order to add a new badge to our game, we can head to the Creator dashboard on Roblox from our home

7
00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:28,600
page, and we can hit create.

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,790
And now we are in the Creator Hub and we can go ahead and find our creations underneath the creations

9
00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:36,300
tab.

10
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:39,840
Or I can find mine right here, which is my example wave game.

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:46,200
So I'll select my game here, and then we can head over to the engagement section for our game.

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,350
And down in this section right here you can find badges.

13
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:51,510
And right now I don't have any in this experience.

14
00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:54,090
But we can go ahead and create a new badge.

15
00:00:54,090 --> 00:00:58,800
And here we can give it a name, a description and then an image for the badge.

16
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:08,270
So I'm just going to call this badge you survived and give it some description like you successfully.

17
00:01:09,380 --> 00:01:11,930
Beat all the waves in the game.

18
00:01:11,930 --> 00:01:13,070
Something like that.

19
00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:17,240
And then you can also go ahead and upload an image for the badge as well, which I'm going to do.

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,590
And once you've got your image uploaded for your badge, you can go ahead and hit the create badge function.

21
00:01:22,590 --> 00:01:25,500
And it also warns us that the first five badge creations are free.

22
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:28,590
And then you have to pay 100 Robux for any additional badges.

23
00:01:28,590 --> 00:01:30,840
So we'll go ahead and create this badge.

24
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,740
There we go.

25
00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:33,660
We have the you survived badge.

26
00:01:33,660 --> 00:01:37,140
And the important thing we're going to need from this badge is its ID.

27
00:01:37,140 --> 00:01:42,060
So we can hit these three dots and copy the asset ID of this badge.

28
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,550
Now back inside of studio, we're going to need this badge in order to award it to our player.

29
00:01:47,580 --> 00:01:52,920
Now I want to go ahead and store any badges in my game inside of a module script that's going to be

30
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,270
acting as an enum.

31
00:01:54,270 --> 00:02:00,780
That way we have a standard and know exactly what ID belongs to what, so we could correlate the id

32
00:02:00,810 --> 00:02:03,360
we just copied with the victory badge.

33
00:02:03,660 --> 00:02:06,360
So what we can go ahead and do is inside of replicated storage.

34
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,380
Inside of the modules folder we'll go and create a new module script.

35
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:14,550
And I'm going to call this my badge enum.

36
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:20,850
And we're simply just going to return a table that's going to contain the different badge IDs.

37
00:02:20,850 --> 00:02:23,310
We would like to be able to reward to our players.

38
00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:26,640
I'm going to call this one my Victory Badge.

39
00:02:27,650 --> 00:02:29,570
And I'm going to set it equal to a table.

40
00:02:29,570 --> 00:02:32,420
And this table is going to contain the ID of the badge.

41
00:02:32,420 --> 00:02:35,420
So I'll just paste my ID right there for the badge.

42
00:02:35,420 --> 00:02:38,870
And then I can also enter in the name for my badge as well.

43
00:02:38,870 --> 00:02:43,070
So the name of my badge I'll just say victory badge.

44
00:02:43,070 --> 00:02:45,950
And of course we can use this name for the future.

45
00:02:45,950 --> 00:02:51,770
For example, if you wanted to give any players like special benefits in the game when they have a particular

46
00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:56,570
badge, you can check if they have this badge, and then you could apply an attribute on them with this

47
00:02:56,570 --> 00:02:57,110
name.

48
00:02:57,110 --> 00:03:01,610
And then from that point, any script could check if a player has this attribute on them and then give

49
00:03:01,610 --> 00:03:03,500
them some kind of special benefit.

50
00:03:04,210 --> 00:03:10,540
And then we can go back to our game handler server script and go ahead and grab the badge service in

51
00:03:10,540 --> 00:03:13,090
order to award a badge to our player.

52
00:03:13,330 --> 00:03:16,270
And then we can also get our badge enum.

53
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,270
Will require for replicated storage modules.

54
00:03:19,450 --> 00:03:19,840
Enums.

55
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,070
Dot badge enum.

56
00:03:22,380 --> 00:03:27,030
And then I'm going to create a dedicated function for awarding a badge to a player.

57
00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:33,870
I'll call this function award badge and we'll pass the ID of the player.

58
00:03:33,870 --> 00:03:35,310
So we'll call this player ID.

59
00:03:35,310 --> 00:03:40,080
And then we also need the badge ID we want to award to this particular player.

60
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,700
Then inside of the badge service we have a function called award badge.

61
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:48,150
And it says Award a badge to a player given the ID of each.

62
00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:51,510
So we pass the user ID of the player and then the badge ID.

63
00:03:51,810 --> 00:03:56,910
So we'll pass our player ID and then we'll pass our badge ID.

64
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:05,140
And then I'm going to wrap this function in a p call, just in case this award badge function encounters

65
00:04:05,140 --> 00:04:05,770
a problem.

66
00:04:05,770 --> 00:04:10,210
So I'm going to call this success results is equal to p call.

67
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:17,850
We're going to paste that in there and return the result from our award badge function.

68
00:04:18,330 --> 00:04:22,800
And then we can check to see if we were successful in awarding a badge to this player.

69
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:29,850
If we were not successful, then we could just print something in the console like failed to award badge,

70
00:04:29,940 --> 00:04:31,890
and then we could give the reason why.

71
00:04:31,890 --> 00:04:39,360
And I'll print that on a new line with backslash n, and then we can concatenate it with the results

72
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,530
from our p call.

73
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:48,400
And now what we can go ahead and do is use this function to award a badge to all of the players that

74
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,820
have beaten the final wave, and they're still alive.

75
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,540
So we can go ahead and scroll down.

76
00:04:55,090 --> 00:05:01,540
And when the function for the game over executes for when the players win, well, we can go ahead and

77
00:05:01,540 --> 00:05:07,810
do is after we play the victory sound, we'll loop through every single player that's on the alive team.

78
00:05:07,810 --> 00:05:14,170
So in Teams Alive, get players and we'll award a badge to all these players.

79
00:05:14,170 --> 00:05:19,870
So we'll pass the player dot user ID and then we'll also pass the badge ID we would like to award to

80
00:05:19,870 --> 00:05:22,120
the player, which would be inside of our badge enum.

81
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,070
And that's going to be the victory badge.

82
00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:32,170
And we're going to get that ID now in order to test this, what I'm going to do is I'm going to decrease.

83
00:05:32,690 --> 00:05:34,820
My total waves amount to one.

84
00:05:34,820 --> 00:05:38,000
That way I don't have to sit through 11 waves.

85
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,460
So once we beat the first wave, then this loop's going to think that all of the players have won,

86
00:05:43,460 --> 00:05:48,950
and then it should award us the badge that, you know, we've won the game.

87
00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:52,610
So let's go ahead and play test this game.

88
00:05:54,610 --> 00:05:55,450
The waves starting.

89
00:05:55,450 --> 00:05:58,360
So let's go ahead and kill all of these zombies off.

90
00:06:00,910 --> 00:06:02,830
All right, here's my last three zombies.

91
00:06:02,830 --> 00:06:07,660
And if I kill all of these guys, hopefully I get awarded that badge.

92
00:06:07,660 --> 00:06:09,670
So when I kill this guy, we should win.

93
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:10,810
Let's see what happens.

94
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:12,580
Oh!

95
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:13,930
Game over.

96
00:06:13,930 --> 00:06:14,470
We won.

97
00:06:14,470 --> 00:06:15,220
And there we go.

98
00:06:15,220 --> 00:06:16,150
Badge awarded.

99
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:19,030
We got the you Survived award.

100
00:06:19,030 --> 00:06:22,120
And now that badge has been added to our account.

101
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,170
Very cool.

102
00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:28,760
That's all I have for you in this lecture, and I'll see you in the next one.
