How to equip hat?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello everyone, I have looked at pretty much every tutorial on how to make a hat equip system, but none of them work for me.
I have an accessory, a meshpart inside called handle and inside a hairattachment. However, whenever I do humanoid:AddAttachment(hat), the hat is in the void, 500 miles below the baseplate although successfully being parented to the humanoid. CanCollide is turned off and anchored is also turned off. The hat is cloned from RS.

Literally just parent the hat to the character model. Clone it from replicated storage and parent it to the char.

is it anchored? Does it work normally if you parent it in studio to a rig?

I did this but it didn’t work

local hat = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Helmet
local handle = hat.Handle
local att = handle.HairAttachment
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)	
	hat.Parent = char
end)

what do you mean it works when you put it in starterhcharacterscripts? You might to do

local hat = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Helmet
local handle = hat.Handle
local att = handle.HairAttachment
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)	
        plr.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait()
	hat.Parent = char
end)

Ok I tried that now but didn’t work

#13

What do you mean? Is there an error? Try having the script parent the hat to startercharacterscripts then.

#14

I can’t parent it to startercharacterscripts as I want the hat to be equipped not just at start of game but later as well. There is nothing printed when I run it

#15

so you’re running this code in starterplayerscripts correct?

local hat = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Helmet
local handle = hat.Handle
local att = handle.HairAttachment
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)	
        plr.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait()
	hat.Parent = char
end)
