(again) how to make stud replacement script

[LuigiRulez2022]

i wrote a post about this subject but i wasnt very clear about it. so heres what i need

i need a script that replaces the stud,inlet,weld all be able to swicth them.

before/in studio using resurface to place studs etc:

afther/when the game is running: it replaces the studs with textures with older ones

a video that explains it better is this one:

2006 and 2010 studs

this is pretty much what i need.

please help i have bin stumped on this for a bit and cant figure it out. ill try to better explain myself if i need to. give me a bit to respond cuz im a bit busy at times

What I would do is simply tag all of the texture parts using a collective tag such as “StudTexture” and then create a script in server script service that will use CollectionService to collect all the stud textures and replace them with the new asset ID.

For example:

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")

for _, texture in ipairs(CollectionService:GetTagged("StudTexture")) do
    if texture:IsA("Texture") then
        texture.Texture = "new asset id"
    end
end

You can tag instances using CollectionService using the properties tool.

You can check the part’s SurfaceAppeareance (hidden part property) and set it to Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth. Then, you’d need to give every face that had a SurfaceType a texture.

Here I came up with a small snippet of code that would do the trick:

--!strict

-- Textures used for replacing surfaces.
local surfacesToTextures = {
	[Enum.SurfaceType.Glue] = "rbxassetid://3527578761",
	[Enum.SurfaceType.Inlet] = "rbxassetid://2881469226",
	[Enum.SurfaceType.Studs] = "rbxassetid://2881013914",
	[Enum.SurfaceType.Universal] = "rbxassetid://2881487862",
	[Enum.SurfaceType.Weld] = "rbxassetid://3447813050",
}

-- Dictionary of surface faces and their respective face name (for use in Enum.NormalId)
local surfaceFaces: { [string]: string } = {
	["TopSurface"] = "Top", 
	["FrontSurface"] = "Front", 
	["LeftSurface"] = "Left", 
	["BackSurface"] = "Back", 
	["RightSurface"] = "Right", 
	["BottomSurface"] = "Bottom"
}

local textureTemplate = Instance.new("Texture")
textureTemplate.StudsPerTileU = 2
textureTemplate.StudsPerTileV = 4

-- Iterate every part in the workspace and replace the surface with a texture.
for _, part: Part in workspace:GetDescendants() do
	if part:IsA("BasePart") then
		
		for surface, textureId in surfacesToTextures do
			
			for surfaceFace, face in surfaceFaces do
				local SurfaceValue = part[surfaceFace]
				if SurfaceValue == surface then
					local Texture = textureTemplate:Clone()
					Texture.Texture = textureId
					Texture.Transparency = part.Transparency
					Texture.Face = Enum.NormalId[face]
					Texture.Parent = part
					part.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
				end
			end
		end
	end
end
