I’m working on a formal photo game where the player joins, their character is cloned, and put in front of a backdrop for a formal picture. By default, I add a silver duty belt as an accessory to their avatar. I also gave the player two buttons so they could change between various belts.
The problem is that after the first default accessory is added, I cannot add more accessories (even if the default is destroyed).
I attached a video below, and the code for more context on the issue I’m facing.

Code
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("cameraPosition")
local beltCustomizer = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("BeltCustomizer")
local currentBelt = beltCustomizer.Frame.CurrentBelt
event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
local part = workspace:WaitForChild("CameraPart")
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
character.Archivable = true
local clone = character:Clone()
character.Archivable = false
clone.Parent = workspace
clone.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace:WaitForChild("characterPosition").CFrame
clone.PrimaryPart = clone.HumanoidRootPart
clone.Humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.None
local originalCFrame = clone.PrimaryPart.CFrame
local rotation = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(-30), 0)
clone:PivotTo(originalCFrame * rotation)
local belt = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("Silver Belt"):Clone()
clone.Humanoid:AddAccessory(belt)
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = part.CFrame
camera.FieldOfView = 30
beltCustomizer.Frame.Gold.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
currentBelt.Value.UIStroke.Parent = beltCustomizer.Frame.Gold
currentBelt.Value = beltCustomizer.Frame.Gold
clone:FindFirstChild("Silver Belt"):Destroy()
if (not clone:FindFirstChild("Silver Belt")) then
local newClone = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("Gold Belt"):Clone()
clone.Humanoid:AddAccessory(newClone)
end
end)
beltCustomizer.Frame.Silver.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
currentBelt.Value.UIStroke.Parent = beltCustomizer.Frame.Silver
currentBelt.Value = beltCustomizer.Frame.Silver
clone:FindFirstChild("Gold Belt"):Destroy()
if (not clone:FindFirstChild("Gold Belt")) then
local newClone = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("Silver Belt"):Clone()
clone.Humanoid:AddAccessory(newClone)
end
end)
end)
Just to add, the belts are correctly being cloned but they aren’t being placed on the character correctly. Could be a positioning issue but I’m not sure how to fix it or what the best approach would be.
It’s very possible that the other accessories aren’t set up properly, so Roblox doesn’t know where to position them.
A good way to test this is to just parent the accessory to the character model. If that doesn’t work, then yeah, something is wrong with the accessory.
Some things to check:
Is the part inside the accessory named “Handle”?
Is Handle unanchored?
Does Handle have an attachment inside of it matching another inside the rig?
Is your Handle welded to something else? If so, unweld it.
Hey @iGottic ! Thank you for the great explanation and for giving me some possible solutions to the issue. I checked both accessories (Silver and Gold belt) and everything seems to be as it should based on your checklist. The silver belt is added correctly when the player first triggers the RemoteEvent, but it will not add the second time. The gold belt doesn’t work at all. It’s as though the entire system just stops working after adding the accessory the first time.
I don’t think the accessories in question are configured incorrectly (or at least the silver belt) because the belt is added correctly the first time. It just won’t work if I try using the buttons.
To my knowledge, accessories aren’t supposed to be added on the client side, at least, it never worked for me.
Therefore, I suggest cloning the character on the server side and adding accessories using Humanoid:AddAccessory() or setting Accessory.Parent = Character on the server side as well. This will ensure everything works properly without having to find a tricky client-side workaround.
It appears I may have solved the issue (somehow) using this as the best guide, and @iGottic’s suggestion to parent the accessory directly to the character model. What I did was delete the clone and make a new clone of the character, but instead, I added the correct accessory. This positions the accessory correctly. I’m not sure what the logic behind this was but it works.
