Changing avatar face when they load in, not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to set the avatar’s face when they load in, but it seems no matter what I do, it won’t change it.

Here is my code:

self.Head.Mesh.MeshId = 'rbxassetid://7390281327'

print('1')

self.Head.face.Texture = 'rbxassetid://5341320658'

print('2')

Both prints are printing out correctly.

“self” is a variable referring to the player’s character.
Changing the mesh works fine, but changing the face doesn’t.
This is a server script in StarterCharacterScripts.

Solution:
It seems the problem was that I was changing the face before the character fully loaded in, and then the face was being changed back to the default after I had changed it.
This is what the beginning of my script looks like now:

local self = script.Parent
local plr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(self)
plr.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait()

Why not use HumanoidDescription and apply that to the character?

The texture I am applying is not a face, and I’ve made other modifications to the character that will be broken if using HumanoidDescription.

  1. Does the first print work?
  2. Mind showing where you defined self and the main module/script?

I defined it as this on the very first line in the script:

local self = script.Parent

I think it might be a good idea to wait for the avatar to fully load in before making changes. Any idea on how to do that?

Player.CharacterAppearenceLoaded:Wait() or Player.CharacterAppearenceLoaded:Connect(function)

Try to give the variable a different name
Also try to print some more things to see where the issue is

You could maybe try to do like:

local cr = script.Parent
local head = cr:FindFirstChild("Head")
local face = head.face
--try to print and check if head and face exist
--do your stuff here
