Accessories/Meshes impossible to manipulate?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello devforum,

On/off for the past few months, I’ve been attempting manipulate accessories and their meshes through scripts, however to no avail.

Attempted methods:
Loading accessory in separate parts
Directly editing Accessory.TextureId (it’s a read-only value.)
Loading texture seperately as a decal and then applying the loaded texture
Using EditableMesh
(I am yet to try with EditableImage)

Latest script (very bare bones because I haven’t spent a lot of time on the current version yet):

local AssetService = game:GetService("AssetService")

function insertAccessory()
	local meshId = 123456789 -- replace with the asset ID of the mesh you want to load
	warn("Function started")
	-- Create an EditableMesh object
	local editableMesh = AssetService:CreateEditableMeshAsync(meshId)
	warn("Created editable mesh")
	-- Create a new MeshPart object
	local meshPart = Instance.new("MeshPart")
	warn("Created meshpart")
	-- Set the mesh and texture for the MeshPart
	meshPart.MeshId = editableMesh.Id
	meshPart.TextureId = 456789012 -- replace with the asset ID of the texture you want to load
	warn("Set meshpart properties")
	-- Parent the MeshPart to the workspace
	meshPart.Parent = workspace
	warn("Relocated meshpart")
	-- Set the name and CFrame of the MeshPart
	meshPart.Name = "Prototype"
	meshPart.CFrame = workspace:WaitForChild("ghost").CFrame
	warn("Finalised adjustments finished.")
end

If anyone has any possible solutions please reply.
I have tried asking multiple AI like the Assistant, ChatGPT and Gemini, all have failed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

EditableMesh does not allow loading MeshIDs that are not uploaded by the experience owner.

If you’re trying to specifically edit the TextureId of a MeshPart or SpecialMesh, it is not a read only value. (With exception of SurfaceApperance properties, which are completely restricted.)

Above are the .TextureId properties for both MeshParts and SpecialMeshes. The parallels state that these are read-only values and will cause an error upon an attempt to write.

No. Read Parallel means that they are safe to read from a multithreading context. It has nothing to do with their read/write safety in serial execution. A property that has Plugin/RBXScript/NotAccessible Security will not be read/write available.

In fact, literally right under the text in the screenshot you posted, there’s this:

TextureID can be written to just fine.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		task.wait(1)
		local ac = char:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Accessory", true)
		local acM = ac:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("MeshPart", true) or ac:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("SpecialMesh", true) 
		if acM:IsA("MeshPart") then
			acM.TextureID = "rbxassetid://10470600"
		else
			acM.TextureId = "rbxassetid://10470600"
		end
	end)
end)
