GetHumanoidDescription not working properly

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

When I use GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId and ApplyDescription on a humanoid (r6) instead of
Screenshot_475
It comes out as
Screenshot_476
Does someone know how to fix this?

Unfortunately, :ApplyDescription() doesn’t work as intended due to a bug. There’s a problem with caching the character appearance because it ignores your current appearance. This function is usually applied to clean templates with no hats or packages.

I recommend removing your current appearance and then using the function, or using :LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription() because it starts you off with a clean template and applies the following Humanoid Description provided. If you want to return the character to its’ original position, you will have to use CFrame positioning.

I understood that but how could I do the same on a r6 dummy?

You would have to use :ApplyDescription(), since it is designed to work on characters other than a player character.

Here’s a basic script that clears the character and applies the description.

local function clearAppearance(character)
    for i,v in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
        if v:IsA("Accessory") or v:IsA("Shirt") or v:IsA("Pant") then
             v:Destroy()
        end
    end
end

local function applyDescription(character, description)
    if character and description then
        character:ApplyDescription(description)
    end
end

local humanoidDescription = game.ReplicatedStorage.DescriptionFolder.Example1

workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

        if player then
            clearAppearance(hit.Parent)
            applyDescription(character, humanoidDescription)
        end
    end
end)

Question, what do I put as game.ReplicatedStorage.DescriptionFolder.Example1?

#7

Put this server script inside the character, should work properly (it works for me and i always use it)

local NPC = script.Parent
local Humanoid = NPC.Humanoid

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		local UserId = Player.UserId
		script.Parent.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(UserId))
		
	end)
end)

What are you using, r6 or r15 as the npc?

#9

R6, also works on r15 i think…

#10

It is still a mess in the accessories and the head…

#11

are you sure the games default character is set to R6?

Can you send me the dummy as a rblxm file? Maybe it will work that way.
