I’m working on a Roblox game with a cutscene system where different characters are loaded depending on which player eliminated another. To make this work, I used GetAppliedHumanoidDescription() to get a player’s appearance and tried to apply it using ApplyDescription(), but I got an error saying it can’t be used on the client.
This doesn’t make sense because it doesn’t affect security at all. Players can already change their own character’s appearance by manually setting each property of HumanoidDescription, so blocking ApplyDescription() on the client serves no real purpose. It just makes things unnecessarily difficult for developers. In my case, applying descriptions on the server wouldn’t work since the cutscene characters are purely client-side.
I hope this can be fixed because it limits what we can do with character customization in cutscenes, NPCs, and other game mechanics.
