Help with HumanoidDescriptions

[cweego]

Hiya!

I’m having a problem with HumanoidDescriptions. This is my code, it’s a server script and it’s inside a part in the workspace.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local description = hit.Parent.Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
		description.HeadScale = 2
		hit.Parent.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(description)
		print("applied")
	end
end)

“applied” prints but nothing happens. I’m using an R6 character.

Thanks!

Humanoid Description not updating to mannequin

I realize I may be bumping an older topic here… but I ran into this same issue myself today and I think I understand why creating a new instance of the HumanoidDescription fixes the problem… https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/humanoiddescription-system The system assumes the current HumanoidDescription for a character is not manually edited and reflects the current assets on the character. This got me thinking what is a current HumanoidDescription? It turns out if the HumanoidDes…

Try doing this:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local description = hit.Parent.Humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
		description.HeadScale = 2
        description.Parent = nil

		hit.Parent.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(description)
		print("applied")
	end
end)

The change being this: description.Parent = nil before applying the description.
Instead of nil try workspace (or some other container like ReplicatedStorage), if nil doesn’t work.

Nope, tried both workspace and nil, and replicatedstorage, no luck. Any other ideas?
