So I’ve made a custom NPC system to have hundreds of NPCs, but now I looked at them and realized: They are all gray and I didn’t think a second at how I would be going to cloth them.
Since I don’t use Humanoids, I have no idea on how to dress them. I saw a bigger developer make a custom NPC system aswell and he clothed them, but as already mentioned, I have no idea how he managed to do that.
My thought would be having decals for each cloth, but that would be so annoying to make and I doubt that this is a good idea. Does anyone have an idea?
This is how they look like (Clientsided, R15 Rig):
This is how the server seems them (Just the rootpart of the character, nothing else):
Thanks!

Could you post a picture of your custom npcs?
It just helps to have a visual understanding of what rig you’re utilizing.

I don’t use Humanoids, so I can’t utilize that plugin

OP doesn’t use humanoids, so this method wouldn’t work since it uses the default clothing instances.

you can try change the npcs colors and insert pictures as textures for shirts and pants if you no have humanoid

You would have to use decals or textures if you aren’t using Humanoids because you can’t use clothes without humanoids.

The best way I can think of clothing a non-humanoid npc is to UV map the rig’s meshparts, and then setting its textureId to the id of the shirt clothing.
If I remember correctly, the default R15 doesn’t actually map correctly when using textureIds, so I’ll see if anybody has fabricated such a rig.

Sounds like that is going to be really annoying to add, but this seems like the only viable option, thanks!
