Changing Avatar Appearance?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi all!

I’m looking to create many seats with different avatars sat in them. Is there a simpler way other than doing them all individually?

My little rat for example, how could I go about changing each avatar’s appearance to a different user ID than my own? Tried to search this but I can’t seem to get the terms right. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

You need to use an Humanoid Description instance. You can create one that take another player outfit using GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId and apply it to an existing character humanoid using ApplyDescription.

Thank you both so much! I had a feeling it should’ve been simple! Appreciate it. :slight_smile:

No problem! I spent some minutes to do an example script in case you need it.

local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")

-- Change an existing character appearance
local function ChangeCharacterAppearance(UserId, Character)
	local Humanoid = Character and Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
	local NewDescription = PlayerService:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(UserId)
	
	if Humanoid and NewDescription then
		Humanoid:ApplyDescription(NewDescription, Enum.AssetTypeVerification.Default)
	end
end

-- Create a brand new character with the selected appearance
local function CreateCharacterAppearance(UserId, RigType)
	local NewDescription = PlayerService:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(UserId)
	local NewCharacter = PlayerService:CreateHumanoidModelFromDescription(NewDescription, RigType)
	
	NewCharacter.Parent = workspace
end

task.wait(15)
CreateCharacterAppearance(1, Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15)
ChangeCharacterAppearance(1, script.Parent)
