How to delete the default face

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Well judging by the property name, the thing is that this would also disable Mesh Heads & Accessories as well so it would affect it, probably not the best alternative

Thereā€™s no description for Workspace.MeshPartHeadsAndAccessories, therefore, it doesnā€™t determine the side effects of disabling it. However, from my research, it intends to disable certain accessories from MeshPart, and different heads - causing an arising issue with hats. Itā€™s advised to enable it back if you donā€™t wish for that to happen.

Couldnā€™t you try:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
        local decal = char:WaitForChild("Head"):WaitForChild("face")
        decal:Destroy()
    end)
end)

or instead of decal:Destroy(), change the property of it (transparency, decal id)?

Did you test that only on studio or on a live game too? Because I think it would work on a published game. The reason it doesnt work on studio is because your player loads before the script runs, so the PlayerAdded doesnt fire. Also donā€™t use this loop (repeat wait() until head ~= nil), because WaitForChild already yields the code.
Update*: I tested here about 10 times and it did worked every single try.

Iā€™m presuming the issue with the previous script was that the loop was running prior to the decal actually loading in, therefore it wasnā€™t detected. I just tested this script and it works perfectly fine, so Iā€™d recommend trying to test it if you donā€™t want issues when disabling the other property:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
		local head = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Head")
		local face = head:WaitForChild("face")
		
		face:Destroy()
	end)
end)

use this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		repeat
			wait()
		until char:FindFirstChild("Head") and char.Head:FindFirstChild("face")
		char.Head.face:Destroy()
	end)
end)

This code does not seem to work, but thanks for the input!

also yes iā€™ve already tried changing transparency but it doesnā€™t work

#27

Well im not sure if my studios is broken or something, but i tested it in a new world and put it under ServerScriptServiceand it did not work,

But i really appreciate the help!

#29

Did you test if it worked after resetting? Itā€™s happened to me several times where the character loads before the CharacterAdded event fires.

In that case you just do

local function on_character_added(character: Model)
    -- code to destroy decal
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player: Player)
    if player.Character then
        on_character_added(player.Character)
    end

    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(on_character_added)
end)

The world im using is published and i also deleted the loop you told me to delete, but it still did not work

but thanks for the advice!

#31

Ok iā€™ll go try that, maybe my studios is glitched lol

edit: it did not work for some reason

#32

Thatā€™s the thing though, if you look earlier on the posts we did some debugging & it does print out everything thatā€™s inside the Character's Head, but it still isnā€™t removing it

Try head:FindFirstChildOfClass("Decal"):Destroy()

#35

Try this?:

script.Parent.Head:WaitForChild("face"):Destroy()

Place it in StarterCharacterScripts.

#36

THIS WORKS!!!

#37

So after several hours and a bunch of replies I finally found the solution provided by @Kaid3n22 as shown in the code below

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		repeat
			wait()
		until char:FindFirstChild("Head") and char.Head:FindFirstChild("face")
		char.Head.face:Destroy()
	end)
end)

but I would like to thank each and every single one of you guys for helping me
