Default Player Model

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

In my game I want to make it so that when the player spawns, they are grey, still have clothing, but have the default player model (Blocky w/ the rounded head). I was wondering these questions:

  1. Local or Normal script?

  2. What code can I use for this?

I checked the Roblox developer page but I couldn’t find out how to change the player model when somebody joins the game.

You can create a Dummy NPC and name the model StarterCharacter and put them into the StarterPlayer Service.

Alternatively when a player’s character is loaded you remove all of their accessories and change their head mesh and their skin color.

You also might be able to do this with the Avatar settings in studio but I’m not sure what the mesh id’s for the default limbs are.

I personally would chose to use the StarterCharacter route because it is easier.

Steps:

  1. To get a dummy rig just use the Animation Editor’s RigBuilder. Select Block Rig
  2. Insert a SpecialMesh into the head, and change the MeshType to Head and the scale to 1.25, 1.25, 1.25
  3. Select the HumanoidRootPart and set Anchored to false
  4. Name the Dummy’s Model “StarterCharacter”
  5. Drag it into StarterPlayer

Bam: Players spawn with the avatar you’ve selected.

If you want to skip the character model setup; here is a model I just uploaded that you can drag into StarterPlayer: https://www.roblox.com/library/4778485601/StarterCharacter

Serverscript(normalscript).Code:
Note:Make sure to make the Player RigType,R6 so it makes it easier.

game.Workspace.ChildAdded:connect(function(Character)
    if Character.Name == game.Players:FindFirstChild(Character.Name) then
        Character.Torso.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Grey")--Do this with every bodypart in the player's character.
    end
end)
