How to apply a players face on a custom character

[manymillerboy]

1. What do you want to achieve?
   I want to apply the players avatar face on a custom character.
2. What is the issue?
   It will not apply the image correctly, instead it will appear as a blank face.
3. What solutions have you tried so far?
   I researched and couldn’t find a right solution.

Here is the code:

local function ChangeChar(player,char)
	local humdesc = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId)
	char.Head:WaitForChild("Face").Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id="..tostring(humdesc.Face)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	spawn(function()
		player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
			ChangeChar(player,char)
		end)
		ChangeChar(player,player.Character)
	end)
end)

		ChangeChar(player,player.Character)
	end)
end)

local function ChangeChar(player,char)
        local char2 = "CustomCharacter"
	char2.Head:WaitForChild("Face").Texture = char:WaitForChild("Head"):WaitForChild("face").Texture
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	spawn(function()
		player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
			ChangeChar(player,char)
		end)
		ChangeChar(player,player.Character)
	end)
end)

It’s not your issue but FWIW I don’t think “Face” is consistently used as the name. I know it used to be “face”, then I know some new assets changed over time, and now I think both are used occasionally. Check :FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Decal") instead.

The problem isn’t finding the face, I think roblox faces just won’t load from my scripts because there decals are private. So I guess this is unsolvable?

And also I have the character as a starter character so I don’t think that this will work.

So after a while of testing, I came up with the code, pretty much you get a template dummy and load the players normal avatar onto it if you are using starter characters(it has to be in workspace first then add a “wait()” then put it into a folder to hide it). After that clon the face and remove the face off of the starter character to replace it with the new one.

Code:

local function SetChar(player)
	local clon = game.ReplicatedStorage.Template:Clone()
	clon.Name = player.Name
	clon.Parent = game.Workspace
	local humdesc = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId)
	clon.Humanoid:ApplyDescriptionReset(humdesc)
	wait()
	clon.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage.CustomCharacters
	return clon
end
local function ChangeChar(player,char)
	local id = char.Head:FindFirstChildOfClass("Decal"):Clone()
	player.Head:WaitForChild("Face"):Destroy()
	id.Parent = player.Head
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local charclon = SetChar(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		charclon:Destroy()
		charclon = SetChar(player)
		ChangeChar(char,charclon)
	end)
	ChangeChar(player.Character,charclon)
end)
