AddAccessory not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    For the hat to successfully be out onto the player’s head.

  2. What is the issue?
    Whenever the game runs, I get this error:

AddAccessory should be passed a valid Accessory object.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I tried using a part of a code on the DevHub, but it didn;t work.
local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Hat = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("tophat"):Clone()
Humanoid:AddAccessory(Humanoid)

When you called the :AddAccessory() method, you put Humanoid as the first parameter when it’s supposed to be the actual accessory.

Try this:

Humanoid:AddAccessory(Hat)

My bad, thank you for pointing that out.
But now, The hat doesn’t appear?

Then don’t use :AddAccessory()
maybe this will work:

local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Hat = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("tophat"):Clone()

Hat.Parent = Character

Still doesn’t maybe I need to add a offset or something? No clue.

Check the explorer, is the hat actually parented to the character?

And does your hat have a ‘Handle’ part with an attachment?

The hat is parented, but it doesn’t add it to the player. It’s unanchored, by the way.

Remove the WeldConstraint (you don’t need it),
Put the Mesh in the Part with the HatAttachment,
Remove the ‘fedora’ part.

That should work I think

Still no, I think it might need a offset or something.

Can you upload it as a model to Roblox and send the id so I can have a look at it please?
I’ll try and see what the problem is

Script goes in StarterCharacterScripts, tophat goes into ServerStorage.

The file format isn’t working for some reason, try saving the entire place to file and sending it maybe

I found the hat, it looks like the attachment didn’t weld it to the head.

I found the problem, you didn’t name the part “Handle” this is crucial for an accessory to work.
