You can try setting the CharacterAppearanceId property of Player to your userId, then resetting your character and respawning.

this continues to be a problem on a live game. The character hats get the wrong position after scaling several times:

Sorry for double-posting. Should this be en Engine Bug report? The code I have provided is very simple and just scales the player based on the examples and methods provided as best practices. It fails repeatedly to scale the hats and any other attachments on the head.

The code I have provided is very simple and straight forward. I have even uploaded the game to a public place playable place and have provided screenshots proving the issue happens in live games.

I cannot of course submit an engine bug report. Does anyone else think it is time to do that?

EDIT:

I still think this is a bug that could be addressed, but I managed to “fix” the issue by cloning the accessories, destroying them, then parenting the cloned ones to the character.

		for i,v in pairs (player.Character:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA ("Accessory") then
        		local clone = v:Clone()
        		v:Destroy()
        		clone.Parent = player.Character
			end
	         end

Though this might work for now, I wonder if it could still be a bug that is addressed?

I’m having this problem in my game did anyone find a better solution?

Maybe this thread could provide more insight

and this

Note: this Module has Positional & Scaling problems too

@Planet_Dad

  • Do you need to Clone and Destroy every time or just once?

    • If more than once, when?

  • Instead of Parenting can I use Humanoid:AddAccessory() instead?

I dropped this project after deciding that extreme scales had too many problems. In particular with lighting. At large sizes, above 3x normal size, the lighting was just bad indoors.

That said i was doing destroy,clone, parent every time the player changed sizes to deal with the accessory scaling.

Not sure about Humanoid:AddAccessory()
