How can I save the players hair id

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I basically want to make a datastore that saves the players hair handle id, so when they join back the script automatically puts the saved id in to the new hairs handle id

#2

Does it have to be in the same server or does it matter if they join a different server? If it only requires the same server, store the id’s in a table or the hats themselves in a folder. If any server, save it in a datastore.

#3

I want to make it even if they join a different server it will still equip it

#4

I’m guessing the place has hair givers/a hair shop?

#5

No its basically a game where and change your outfits

#6

So I would say yes to the hair givers

Save it in a datastore. If you want multiple accessories and an entire outfit like shirts and pants, make it an array. Store the RBXASSETID’s as the outfit value.

When you fetch those results, make sure to grab the proper item out of the array. The saved ID’s in the datastore should work fine (I assume we are using catalog items).

						table.insert(data, accessoryInfo)
					end
				end	
			end
		end
		local res = AccessoryDS:SetAsync("Accessory_"..player.UserId, data)
	end)
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	for i, player in pairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
		local character = player.Character
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		local data = {}
		local accessoryInfo = {}
		local accessories = humanoid:GetAccessories()

					if handle:FindFirstChild("Mesh") then
						local mesh = handle:FindFirstChild("Mesh")
						accessoryInfo[mesh.MeshId] = mesh.TextureId
						table.insert(data, accessoryInfo)
					end
				end	
			end
			local res = AccessoryDS:SetAsync("Accessory_"..player.UserId, data)
		end
	end
end)

Not sure what possessed me but I decided to make this, it worked when testing.
