Accessory Adjustment APIs for Neck, Shoulder, Front, and Back

[TeamDreams123 (sillygoober)]

Can we have it for waist accessories too? People who roleplay LEO (law enforcement officers) are usually restricted to how much customizability they have on their duty belts, guns, tasers etc…

What we all waited! Thank you Roblox

Also, what kind of avatar items does that account have in that gif

[HealthyKarl]

Very cool

When will this be next?

Step by Step Guide for Roblox Staff to modify AdjustmentSlider Component within Lua App Universal App

This is going to be a step by step tutorial to modify the Lua App Universal App “AdjustmentSlider” Component.   At the end it’s going to look something like this: There were a few more things that I was trying to do, but I ended up not experimenting with that area, because I’d have to modify UIBlox for that, and this would increase the tutorial to much. [image] Purpose? What’s the purpose of this tutorial? It’s only useful to Roblox. But they don’t even need this. Th…

I call it “giving it precision”.

And I call “Slider Center Snapping” fast flag, the ones that “takes away precision”

I can foresee plenty of catalog trial / avatar creator games using this. Unfortunately, none of these API’s have shown much promise outside of them though.

Wait, I can not yet rotate my hat 360°…

[PeZsmistic]

Super happy to see this capability finally expanded.

Can we hear about your plans to bring these advanced avatar tools to the web frontend? What does the future of avatar customization look like on desktop web?

It doesn’t seem like I’m able to use this on anything except the phone app, not even the Windows UWP app has it, the accessory tweak button is simply missing.

I didn’t expect this update but W update, no downsides. The avatar is epic as well.

Would be nice if we could have these capabilities for hair too, would fix a lot of clipping issues that relate to say, head type rather than hats.

Still waiting to be able to colour body parts any colour from the avatar editor instead of having to go into catalog avatar creator

Your version must be outdated-- it has been on the windows app since the first realease.

TOS breakers are gonna get a kick out of this…

[meiyonnaize]

To answer why it could be missing on the Windows UWP app, if you update to version 665 it should always appear. Please let us know if it’s still missing after the update!

Can we have unlocked axises on the scale. I still cant fit collars properly on my rig because it has a non 1:1 depth-width scale

also 1.25 isn’t a big enough limit to fit it anyway.

[Reditect]

@meiyonnaize could I ask if hair is planned for this too?

That’s really my only use case with this feature as I keep my avatar the same 99% of the time.

For accessory adjustment on the web frontend: we don’t have plans to add it there, but the UI in the Avatar Editor/Marketplace or in another experience would be the best way to use accessory adjustment today

[xyrafrost]

Since shoulder accessories can now be adjusted, I’d like to repost this:

@xyrafrost

If the Scale parameter is a Vector3, then why does the platform enforce uniform scaling? e.g. why can I not scale my accessories on only one or two axes, instead all 3 values have to be the exact same?

This feels like a seemingly pointless restriction that prevents a lot of potential with this feature, especially once more accessory types (especially ones that aren’t attached to the head) can be used with this feature.

R15 body scaling happens to affect your accessories, and I was hoping that this feature could be used to “reset” the automatic scaling of some of those accessories, by adjusting them back to a normal size. For example:

Thanks! Is there anything you can share regarding the future of avatar customization on the web frontend? All new avatar features are only being built into the app. Building the same thing in more than one place went out of style a long time ago, I get it.

If this is the plan, I wanted to share that there have been growing pains over this for 4+ years already now. Avatar customization on web is pretty bad in comparison to the app, but I have two decades of muscle memory that takes me to the customize avatar webpage anyway. There is significant friction for me to open the app on either my phone or desktop seeing as I am a developer and already live on the website in my browser. It would be great if we could get shortcuts on desktop web that go directly into the Roblox app’s version of that page. I.e. Button “Customize in App” opens the app directly to the avatar customize page.

Edit: I put this into a feature request: Shortcuts to "Open in App", but any info would still be appreciated.

[meiyonnaize]

Thank you for pointing out this behavior, we’re looking into whether this issue should be solved by accessory adjustment or through other means

[meiyonnaize]

Hair isn’t planned at the moment, we’re still thinking through the problems explained here:

Accessory Adjustment APIs for experiences

Thanks for the question! We currently don’t have plans to allow for adjustment of Hair accessories. The TL;DR is that the way certain Hair assets fit on the Head means it’d be difficult to provide a consistent Accessory Adjustment experience for all Hair assets, and could in many cases appear that the Hair is broken or unadjustable, unfortunately. We’ll continue thinking through if there’s a middle ground we could reach here, but don’t have any near term plans to enable this for Hair. Stay tune…
