You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
What do you want to achieve?
I’d like to create a GUI for that when I enter a ItemID, it applies that ID to my character shirt, or if I don’t have one, creates one for me and applies it. The GUI has 3 buttons hence why it may seem weird.
What is the issue?
It just refuses to apply the shirt on me, but it creates the shirt.
What solutions have you tried so far?
I’ve tried using ChatGPT to rewrite my script and make it work, but that was useless.
game.ReplicatedStorage.Apply.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, input, _type)
print("Received event for player:", player.Name, "Input:", input, "Type:", _type)
if _type == "S" then
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
if not character:FindFirstChild("Shirt") then
-- Create a new shirt
local shirt = Instance.new("Shirt")
-- Customize the shirt as needed, for example:
shirt.Name = "Shirt"
shirt.ShirtTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=" .. input
-- Attach the shirt to the player's character
shirt.Parent = character
print("Shirt created and applied to", player.Name)
else
character.Shirt.ShirtTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=" .. input
print("Shirt updated for", player.Name)
end
else
print("Invalid type:", _type)
end
end)
Try converting the input variable to a string to allow it to concatenate without error?:
if _type == "S" then
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
if not character:FindFirstChild("Shirt") then
-- Create a new shirt
local shirt = Instance.new("Shirt")
-- Customize the shirt as needed, for example:
shirt.Name = "Shirt"
shirt.ShirtTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=" .. tostring(input)
-- Attach the shirt to the player's character
shirt.Parent = character
print("Shirt created and applied to", player.Name)
else
character.Shirt.ShirtTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=" .. tostring(input)
print("Shirt updated for", player.Name)
end
else
print("Invalid type:", _type)
end
You could also set the variable type for your input in the parameters as a string to ensure the value being sent, and return end or do any other thing that you wish if the input is anything but a string
game.ReplicatedStorage.Apply.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, input: string, _type)
print("Received event for player:", player.Name, "Input:", input, "Type:", _type)
if type(input) ~= string then return end -- or whatever else you want to do
-- next lines
Sorry lol I’m quite new to scripting. Hope you find a solution though!
Alright so I’ve been experimenting and I think there is another way to do this.
This is using the Humanoid’s :ApplyDescription() and :GetAppliedDescription() methods. Humanoid Documentation here
I have created a script in the ServerScriptService that references a rig in the workplace which applies a shirt with a specific shirt id to the character, like so:
local id = 1240513975
local hum = game.Workspace.Rig.Humanoid
-- creating a new HumanoidDescription from scratch
local testDescription: HumanoidDescription = hum:GetAppliedDescription()
-- applied our modified description with a set shirt id
testDescription.Shirt = id
hum:ApplyDescription(testDescription)
You can even find HumanoidDescriptions in every Rig:
With many properties we can edit of a character, including clothing and accessories:
And now when the script is run it applies the shirt id onto the fresh rig:
It even created a new Shirt instance to the character rig as my avatar previously had no clothing assets equipped.
Try implementing something like the example I provided in your project!
