How do I apply only the accessories of a HumanoidDescription onto a character?

I could not look for any solution of this anywhere on the devforum. Title is self explanatory.

As @austtm linked, the docs are a good place to look.

You’ll find that there’s properties for all the different accessories. You should be able to write a script that applies only the accessories from there.

i looked at the documentation and made this as a result.

local description = players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId)

local newdescription = humanoid:GetAppliedDescription()
newdescription:SetAccessories(description:GetAccessories(),true)
humanoid:ApplyDescription(newdescription)

i got this error.

Which line in the code excerpt you provided is line 16?

While @austtm Mentioned where is the line 16, Instead of applying description for ONLY accessories, i got you a better option.
AddAccessory.
This method is in the HUMANOID class. This is much simpler than apply the description.
Unless you really want and need the apply description, this is a great way.

There are a few ways. Also, wait briefly after the character loads before calling GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId to avoid nil.

function applyAccessories(char, desc)
	local newDesc = Instance.new("HumanoidDescription")
	newDesc.HatAccessory = desc.HatAccessory
	newDesc.HairAccessory = desc.HairAccessory
	newDesc.FaceAccessory = desc.FaceAccessory
	newDesc.NeckAccessory = desc.NeckAccessory
	newDesc.ShoulderAccessory = desc.ShoulderAccessory
	newDesc.FrontAccessory = desc.FrontAccessory
	newDesc.BackAccessory = desc.BackAccessory
	newDesc.WaistAccessory = desc.WaistAccessory
	char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"):ApplyDescription(newDesc)
end

local desc = Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(userId)
applyAccessories(character, desc)

the setaccessories section is line 16.

A few things to try:

  • Ensure that GetAppliedDescription is actually returning the correct HumanoidDescription.
  • Add a short task.wait() after GetAppliedDescription before calling GetAccessories to give the HumanoidDescription time to load.
  • If all else fails, try @2112Jay’s method above.
