Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId() does not work on banned users. Is there a way to get a HumanoidDescription from players that will also work on banned users?
I assume this is done on purpose to protect the privacy of those users. When someone is banned they can’t change their outfit anymore and accounts that are deleted under GDPR may be shown as banned as well(I’m not sure about this, I haven’t tested it). May I ask why you need the outfit information of a banned user?
PS: I think you can fetch the thumbnails of banned users tho.
I would like them for some statues that will be of random users, such as the player’s friends. Because they are random, sometimes the statues will be of banned users so I would like a way to access their HumanoidDescriptions.
Good to know. If I can not find a way to access banned users’ avatars, maybe I will just put a framed photo of their avatar or something on the pedestal.
its the same thing with UserService where you cannot get the data of Banned Users, there are other ways to do it tho (if at all), its just more complex.
If the method is complex, that is fine with me. If anyone knows any way to get the HumanoidDescriptions of banned users, no matter how complex, I am all ears.
Well, technically you can just ignore banned users. You can wrap the request inside a pcall and if the error matches the banned user error try another random user(also you can add the banned user userId/name in a table so you can quickly check if you should pick them next time without making an API call again).
I could do that, but I’m fairly sure what I am trying to do is possible. I think I’ve seen other games do it, but I could be remembering wrong. However, if I can’t figure it out, I will keep this in mind.
