I need help with HumanoidDescriptions. I’m trying to make a “Reset Avatar” button that will reset your avatar with the one you currently have on Roblox website. (I’m trying to make an avatar outfit try-on game)
I’m firing a RemoteEvent from a LocalScript to ServerScript which would then allow others to see the resetted avatar instead of doing it client side.
LocalScript
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local remoteEvent = script.Parent.ButtonHandler.ResetFired
local button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local humanoid = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
local playerId = player.UserId
local humanoidDescription = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(playerId)
remoteEvent:FireServer(player, humanoidDescription)
end
end)
ServerScript
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = script.Parent.ButtonHandler.ResetFired
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, humanoidDescription)
local humanoid = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid and humanoidDescription then
humanoid:ApplyDescription(humanoidDescription)
end
end)
You should modify the LocalScript as follows to properly fetch the HumanoidDescription and pass it to the ServerScript:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local remoteEvent = script.Parent.ButtonHandler.ResetFired
local button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local humanoid = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
local playerId = player.UserId
-- correct way to get the HumanoidDescription is by using GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserAge
local humanoidDescription = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserAge(playerId)
remoteEvent:FireServer(player, humanoidDescription)
end
end)
In your ServerScript, the code appears to be correct. When a player clicks the “Reset Avatar” button, it will send a request to the server to reset their avatar using the HumanoidDescription obtained from the player’s UserId. Good luck with your avatar outfit try-on game!
Firstly, it seems like your ServerScript is on the client-side. Try putting it somewhere on the server-side (i recommend ServerScriptService).
Secondly, put the RemoteEvent inside of the ReplicatedStorage.
Lastly, I noticed you sent the HumanoidDescription through the remoteEvent to the server, which is useless.
LocalScript:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local button = script.Parent
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
remoteEvent:FireServer(player)
end)
ServerScript:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local humanoid = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
local humanoidDescription = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId)
humanoid:ApplyDescription(humanoidDescription)
end
end)
It seems like you’re just copying questions on the DevForum and pasting them into ChatGPT. My point is, do things right. If you don’t have the knowledge then don’t bother trying as you’re wasting people’s time. You proved my point with the GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserAge because it doesn’t even exist on Roblox Studio. Are you really trying to farm solutions on the DevForum?
