Hi, I’m making a script that copies a character’s appearance and puts it in another rig. This segment of code copies the character’s charactermeshes, but it returns this error:
for i = 1, #children do
local child = children[i]
if child:IsA("CharacterMesh") then
local id = child.MeshId
local bodypart = tostring(child.BodyPart)
local new = Instance.new("CharacterMesh")
new.Parent = clone
new.MeshId = id
new.BodyPart = Enum.BodyPart[bodypart]
end
end
Enum.BodyPart.LeftLeg definitely exists, and if I change the code to just this it works perfectly fine.
new.BodyPart = Enum.BodyPart["LeftLeg"]
I need to turn the BodyPart into a string because I’m planning to save them with data stores later, any help with this?
When you tostring() the body part, it returns “Enum.BodyPart.LeftLeg”, not just “LeftLeg”. Add a simple :gsub() to the string and have it remove all the unnecessary parts.
local bodypart = tostring(child.BodyPart):gsub("Enum.BodyPart.", "")
This right here, takes “Enum.BodyPart.LeftLeg” and replaces “Enum.BodyPart.” with “”(nothing).
You could create a dictionary with every body part enum, and just refer to that.
Something like this:
local BodyParts = {
['LeftArm'] = Enum.BodyPart.LeftArm
}
-- and call it like this:
BodyParts['LeftArm']
If you’re double referencing Enum.BodyPart, aka your code is doing this: Enum.BodyPart[‘Enum.BodyPart.LeftArm’] then Tyler’s solution should work just fine.
