Cloning accessories and using Humanoid:AddAccessory() not working

Note: Everything in the accessories is Archivable.

I am trying to add accessories to a character model placed in a ViewportFrame.

A connection listens for a descendant being added to the player’s character and then clones the descendant if it’s an accessory and parents it to the model in the viewport (currentClone is the model in the viewport):

descendantAddedConnection = character.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(child)
		if child:IsA("Accessory") then
			local clone = child:Clone()
			currentClone.Humanoid:AddAccessory(clone)
		end
	end)

Without a task.wait() or some sort of yield, the code above creates an empty accessory instance. I’m guessing this is because none of the children loaded (the accessories are being cloned from ServerStorage and parented to the character from the server).

Adding a task.wait() before local clone = child:Clone() seems to clone the accessory’s children, but the viewport character does not hold it at all.

This is the character in the viewport:

Seems to be a bug, seems like most of the solutions available are to just use a weld or to presetup the accessory beforehand:

Humanoid:AddAccessory does not work with FE from a LocalScript

This is because Accessory welds are currently created on the server only, never the client. This is intended right now but we might change it to make this easier to work with when using FilteringEnabled. Here is some code you can use to add an Accessory to a humanoid locally: function weldAttachments(attach1, attach2) local weld = Instance.new("Weld") weld.Part0 = attach1.Parent weld.Part1 = attach2.Parent weld.C0 = attach1.CFrame weld.C1 = attach2.CFrame weld.Parent = …

Dummy Accessories on Viewport not displaying

I haven’t found a fix to it but I managed to do what I wanted in the end. Since I was cloning accessories from a humanoid, I also copied their welds and just adjusted the Part0 and Part1 values and it worked perfectly.

Applying an accessories inside a viewportframe

Actually, in my game I was able to have the accesories in there All I did was put the accessory on it before inserting the character model in there.

Do WorldModels support accessories on humanoids?

Ah okay. I was trying to figure out a way to in realtime add or remove hats to a character in the viewport frame, but apparently :AddAccessory() doesn’t work locally (no idea why that is) So I ended up just storing a module of CFrame offsets for each hat relative to the player’s head, then I used a WeldConstraint so it ‘attaches’ the hat so it moves with the player’s animations.

Maybe you need a WorldModel in the viewport frame?

Well, that’s going to be annoying. Thank you for the help.

The code from the first post you linked worked perfectly. Appreciate it.

I am using a WorldModel in the viewport; all it does correctly is playing animations.
