How can I replace Default skin for the selected one in a table

[JojonoMg]

Hi, I’m making a skins system for my tower defense game and as every game of them, we need to choose maximum 5 towers to start the match. So I’ve been trying to make that if you click on a tower in Inventory, it will open a new Frame which you can select the tower’s skins.

What do I want to achieve?

• I want the game automatically unequip the default tower so the player uses the skin and not both of them as 2 same towers.

What solutions I’ve tried so far?

This is an example of the module I am using for towers that have skins:

Module

local TowerShop = {

["Matt"] = {
	["Name"] = "Matt",
	["ImageAsset"] = "rbxassetid://9858238185",
	["Description"] = "Shoots enemies from a close distance inflicting average damage.",
	["Price"] = 0,
	["Strength"] = 1,
	["Range"] = 12,
	["Cooldown"] = 1.508,
	["DetectHidden"] = true,
	["HasSkins"] = true,
	["ForSale"] = true,
	["LayoutOrder"] = 0,
	["Skins"] = {
		["Matt"] = {
			["ImageAsset"] = "rbxassetid://9858238185",
			["Name"] = "Matt",
			["OriginalDefender"] = "Matt",
			["Price"] = 0,
			["LayoutOrder"] = 0,
		},
		["Criminal Matt"] = {
			["ImageAsset"] = "rbxassetid://9858238185",
			["Name"] = "Criminal Matt",
			["OriginalDefender"] = "Matt",
			["Price"] = 1,
			["LayoutOrder"] = 1,
		},
	},
},

• As you can see, In every skin it has [“OriginalDefender”], thing that I use so the script looks for Default skin equipped and be removed from table when a different skin was selected.

This is the script I use to equip Towers:

InteractItem Remote Function

ReplicatedStorage.InteractItem.OnServerInvoke = function(player, itemName)
local shopItem = towers[itemName]
local playerData = data[player.UserId]
if shopItem and playerData then
local status = getItemStatus(player, itemName)

	if status == "For Sale" and shopItem.Price <= playerData.Cents then
		playerData.Cents -= shopItem.Price
		table.insert(playerData.OwnedDefenders, shopItem.Name)
	elseif status == "Owned" then
		table.insert(playerData.SelectedDefenders, shopItem.Name)
		if #playerData.SelectedDefenders > max_selected_defenders then
			table.remove(playerData.SelectedDefenders, 1)
		end
	elseif status == "Equipped" then

		if #playerData.SelectedDefenders > 1 then
			local defenderToRemove = table.find(playerData.SelectedDefenders, itemName)
			table.remove(playerData.SelectedDefenders, defenderToRemove)
		end
	end

	return playerData
else
	warn("Defender/Player data does not exist")
end

return false

end

And this is the script I use to switch skins:

Switch Skin Local Script

function showTowerSkins(defenderName)

for i, defender in pairs(towers[defenderName].Skins) do
	
	local oldButton = skinsFrame:FindFirstChild(defender.Name)
	if oldButton then
		oldButton:Destroy()
	end
	
	local newButton = skinsFrame.Template:Clone()
	newButton.Name = defender.Name
	newButton.DefenderName.Text = defender.Name
	newButton.CharacterTemplate.Image = defender.ImageAsset			
	newButton.Price.Visible = false
	newButton.Visible = true
	newButton.LayoutOrder = defender.LayoutOrder
	newButton.Parent = skinsFrame
	
	local status = getItemStatus(defender.Name)
	if status == "Equipped" then
		newButton.Equipped.Visible = true
		newButton.Price.Visible = false
	elseif status == "Owned" then
		newButton.Equipped.Visible = false
		newButton.Price.Visible = false
	elseif status == "Unowned" then
		newButton.Visible = false
	end
	
	newButton.CharacterTemplate.Activated:Connect(function()
		switchSkins(defender.Name, defender.OriginalDefender)
		gui.Menu.Inventory.ItemsFrame.Visible = true
		gui.Menu.Inventory.SkinsFrame.Visible = false
		sfx.Selection:Play()
	end)
end

end

Switch Skin Script

ReplicatedStorage.SwitchSkin.OnServerInvoke = function(player, itemName, originalName)
local originalItem = towers[originalName].Skins
local playerData = data[player.UserId]

if table.find(playerData.SelectedDefenders, originalName) then
	local defaultDefenderToRemove = table.find(playerData.SelectedDefenders, originalName)

	table.remove(playerData.SelectedDefenders, defaultDefenderToRemove)
	table.insert(playerData.SelectedDefenders, itemName)
	print(itemName .. " has been equipped to SelectedDefenders")
	print(defaultDefenderToRemove .. " has been removed from SelectedDefenders")

else
	local skinDefenderToRemove = table.find(playerData.SelectedDefenders, itemName)
	
	table.remove(playerData.SelectedDefenders, skinDefenderToRemove)
	table.insert(playerData.SelectedDefenders, itemName)
	print(itemName .. " has been equipped to SelectedDefenders")
end

end

ReplicatedStorage.GetData.OnServerInvoke = function(player)
return data[player.UserId]
end

What is the problem?

• It doesn’t let me replace the Skin for the Default, it seems to only replace Default for the selected skin.

Is there a way I can fix this? I’ve been trying to fix this alone like a week ago, but I couldn’t do it. Help is very appreciated!

Never mind, someone else helped me to fix this from other website.
